April 17, 2009, Newsletter Issue #105: Christmas Decorating Trends

Tip of the Week

You like to be on top of new fashion trends and, since doing anything that is passé just isn't your way, you want to find out about current
Christmas decorating trends, too. Fortunately, finding a trend you like should be easy, because there are quite a few options to choose from.

Metallic colors are hot. If you are on a budget and don't want to have to replace everything, consider getting instant glitz by wrapping your old artificial evergreen tree in gold or silver garland. Add balls and a few other ornaments in metallic colors. If you do want to buy a new tree, look for a glamorous artificial silver tree.

Polka dots and stripes are in, especially if they are in more than one color. If you can't find pre-made ornaments that have the look you want, shop for pink, white, or tan glass ornaments and create your own polka dots or stripes with glass paint.

Deep jewel tone colors are very popular. Try decorating an evergreen tree with a combination of deep red, copper and purple beaded garland. Add coordinating ball ornaments and a richly hued tree skirt to create
a tree that is right on top of current trends.
