This time of year it seems like money is just flying out the door. Which makes it the perfect time of year to save some money and create a crafted Christmas! Making your holiday decorations not only adds a personalized touch but it’s easy on the pocket books, too!

Here are the supplies you need to create your own washi tape & baker’s twine themed Christmas tree:

•  Glass Ball Ornaments – These acrylic ball ornaments would also work great!
• Washi Tape (I used Red Polka Dot, Green and White Striped, Red, and White)
• Bakers Twine (I used Red & White and Lime Green & White)

I started by making the washi tape ornaments. I began at the top of the ornament and wound the washi tape around onto the other side. Then I cut off the tape and started another line of tape in another place.

I kept wrapping the tape around until the entire ornament was covered. I played around with the tape, mixing and matching the different colors of washi tape.

Once I had a bunch of ornaments done, it was time to work on the washi tape & baker’s twine banner. First, I stretched out a length of the bakers twine. Then I folded a piece of washi tape over the baker’s twine.

I cut the end of the washi tape into an inverted “v” to look more like a pennant banner. I used the different colors of tape to alternate down the twine.

When I had enough ornaments and a long enough banner, it was time to decorate the tree!

I used some of the baker’s twine to hang the ornaments on the tree.

These Christmas tree decorations can easily be customized to fit your holiday décor by changing up the colors you use!

Not only will you have a fun and on trend tree, but you will also have a one of a kind tree that didn’t cost you a fortune!!!
