Decorating Small Themed Christmas Trees
Small Themed Christmas Trees Add to Decor
Unless you have a very large house though, 3 to 4 foot decorated trees may be a new addition to your Christmas traditions. Consider decorating the house with a few small themed Christmas trees in addition to your main tree.
My family has diverse taste. How do I incorporate everyone's taste and not have a hodge podge tree? We made a deal a long time ago -- the main family tree (the big one in the living room) is decorated with memories: "Baby's First Christmas", Anniversaries, "I made this at school" ornaments, candy garland, personal and personalized ornaments celebrating our years together as a family. It's a great tree and I wouldn't want it any other way.
In addition, we decorate smaller trees for other rooms that show off our taste, hobbies, passions or collections. The kitchen, dining room, family room, guest room, bonus room can all be decorated with a tree dedicated to your favorite subject. We have had many different small themed trees over the years. The Christmas trees have included a Paris theme, Sports theme, Girly-Girl theme, and a Coca-Cola to name a few. The beauty is that you don't get near as much money tied up in decorating a 3 or 4 foot tree as you do the 6 to 12 foot main trees.
Read on for some examples and ideas for decorating your small trees in themes for Christmas!

Paris Themed Tree Ideas
Decorating a small Paris tree
The tree came with white lights but I added an additional 50 light strand in honor of the "City of Lights". I decided to use a black, white, gold and silver color scheme for this tree. In the wedding department at my local superstore, I found some wired garland with crystals. This garland made the tree really sparkle when the lights played off the crystals.

School Spirit Themed Tree
Go Tigers!
This was a fun tree to make. My kids helped me find items to show school spirit.
I had a generic silver bucket I placed the tree in and then covered it with burlap. Here are a list of some of the items we decorated with:
- To feature the school athletic teams we used: golf ball, basketball, football, baseball, volleyball, soccer ball and a track shoe.
- Some musical instruments for represent the marching band: trumpet, french horn and drums.
- We had to honor cheerleaders so we had two small pom poms in the tree.
- We also used mini bread garland from halloween (since the school colors where black and orange) to dress it up.
- For the topper, I found a small stuffed tiger. I poked a hole in his tummy and stuck to the top of the tree.

Golf Tree - This was my husbands favorite tree. We had it in his sports room. I used golf balls, divot tools, tees, golf club ornaments, golfer ornaments, golf gloves, and ball markers. I also drilled holes thru colored golf tees and strung them 4" apart on fishing line, using a dab of hot glue on either side of the tee to hold it in place. I used an old knit headcover with a pom pom on top as the topper.

Use music notes, treble clefts, sheet music, horn ornaments and the like.
