Woodland Themed Christmas Tree

I always thought it would be fun to have a themed Christmas tree, but I never had one, 'til now, that is!

Hubby was given the challenge of finding a small faux tree at the thrift store, and he came home with the cutest little tree that's about 4' tall.  I thought our sunroom, which is at the back of our house and overlooks the woods, would be the perfect spot for the tree.  I decided I wanted to go with a woodland theme, in honor of all the birds and other wildlife that frequent our yard.   Our main tree is in the living room, I'll show you that in the next week or two.  It's really tall!

Anyway, I had so much fun decorating this tree, and am thrilled at how it turned out.  Not bad for a $10 thrift shop Christmas tree!

 Before I started the decorating, guess what I did?  I took the tree out and spray painted it!  Yep!  I very, very lightly misted it with creamy white spray paint.  I wanted it to look as if it had been lightly dusted in snow.  (bet the neighbors thought I'd really lost it if they saw me painting a fake tree!)
I decorated it with ornaments we already had, as well as some that I created just for the woodland them.

 I had so much fun making a bunch of these glittered ornaments (above), from copies of vintage French Christmas sheet music, compliments of The Graphics Fairy.  I found this sweet little chickadee over at
 The Feathered Nest, and fell in love with him!

 I've added plenty of birds,  as well as a few bird houses, in keeping with our love of our feathered friends.

 This darling little bunny was also found over at the Graphics Fairy.

 I've also added glittery ornaments that I made out of milk weed pods a few years back.  Hard to get a good photo of them, but they are really pretty, I think!

 A glittery hummingbird hovers among the branches.

 And a cute little glittered raccoon is hanging out, too!

A bottlebrush squirrel is looking for nuts.

He even has his own beaded acorns!

Whoops!  I guess I didn't do a very good job of hiding the cords!
A sweet little bird is perched in a real (and glittered!) bird's nest.

Tiny faux nest.

I made the angel topper from more copies of the sheet music.  I really love the sepia tones.
I wanted to add a deer to our tree, in honor of those that we sometimes are lucky to glimpse in our yard.  I found this amazing angel with a deer over at the Graphics Fairy.  Isn't she gorgeous?  I had planned on making the sheet music into a medallion for the topper, but it just wasn't working out, so I settled for this fan!

Here I've added the angel and deer to a sheet music ornament (below).

 Pretty pheasant.

 I placed the tree on a small round table to elevate it.  I've covered the table with vintage linens, which I've layered over burlap (all were garage sale finds, even the burlap!).  I love the contrast of the dainty and delicate linens against the rustic burlap!

I've placed the tree in front of our glass block wall.  I really love how the glass just shimmers and sparkles from the reflection of the lights!

Here it is with the lights out.

 And looking thru the other side of the glass block (which is our bedroom).  I think it looks just magical!  The glass block looks kind of like icy, frosty window panes, don't you think?

And here are a few final looks
