If you’re aChristmasfreak like me, you’ve probably had your Christmas tree and decorations up since the middle of November. If you adhere to traditions, you might have just started thinking about it now, as many experts say that the second week of December is just the right time to put up your Christmas tree.So, we here at Bored Panda decided to give you some ideas on how to decorate your wonderful trees. Here’s a list of uniqueChristmas treesfolks have put up in their homes, workplaces, and even yards for you to glean some inspiration from.To learn the secret to a perfect Christmas tree,Bored Pandareached out to the Jennifer Perkins—blogger, indie craft pioneer, and author of five books about crafting. She kindly agreed to give us some tips on how to make a stunning and one-of-a-kind tree!More info:Jennifer Perkins|Instagram|Facebook|TikTok|BooksThis post may includeaffiliate links.When it comes to inspiration for Christmas tree design, for Jennifer, it starts with both a theme and a color palette. “Occasionally, I will find an amazing ornament, gift wrap, or tree skirt in an unusual color combination that kicks the whole thing off,” she told us. “I tend to veer away from typical traditional Christmas colors, so, my color palette can come from lots of different places.“Jennifer prefers artificial Christmas trees, mostly because they come in colors other than green. “I tend to put unusual things in my trees. This year, I have my collection of mod ceramic piggy banks in one of my trees. Artificial trees can hold the weight and keep their shape, real trees can’t handle my kinda Christmas,” the master crafter shared.For those who want to spice up their Christmas with a different kind of tree this year, Jennifer recommends not getting stuck on making everything red and green. “I have hot pink, lavender, yellow, and even rainbow-striped trees in my collection. I love a vintage Christmas moment, but don’t be afraid to mix in some brand-new goodies from big box stores.“You don’t have to get hung up on one era and be a purist. Mixing and matching styles, materials, brands – all the things – makes for a more interesting tree.“RELATED:You might be thinking that throwing everything and anything on your tree is the best way for it to stand out. But Jennifer is here to restrain us all. “I have an aunt who’s ex-husband once asked: ‘Do you own a jewelry box?’ She tended to wear all her jewelry at once and he was probably hinting she could use an edit. Probably why he’s an ex,” Jennifer quipped.“As an avid Christmas collector, I think of this story often. I can’t have EVERYTHING out at once. I rotate years with my ornaments, trees, and collections. This gives me a chance to do different themes and gives collections and pieces their chance to shine rather than be lost in a sea of Kitschmas collectible chaos. I’m a firm believer [that] minimalism is for quitters but even I know to use the metaphorical jewelry box when decorating,” she added.Our list may inspire you to try out something different this year. Instead of a traditional tree, you might go for a book tree, a Lego tree, or even a tree made entirely out of plushies (if you have that many, of course!) But if you’re going the traditional route, you still may face a dilemma: real or plastic tree?That’s the age-old question, isn’t it? This year, the majority of Americans (46%) will have an artificial tree in their homes, according toStatista. Only 26% of consumers say their tree will be a live one. Some 30 years ago, most of us believed that a real tree is way better for the environment and that plastic trees are the devil. But is that really true?Whether a plastic or a real tree is better for the environment depends on how we use and dispose of it. Artificial trees leave less of acarbon footprintthan natural trees that get composted or incinerated. If you do, however, replanting or chipping it and using the tree afterthe holidaysfor your own landscaping purposes is a more environmentally friendly solution.But plastic trees also can be a sustainable choice. A 2018 studyshowedthat if we use our plastic trees for at least five years, they may have less environmental impact. Another 2009 studyclaimedthat you’d need to keep your artificialChristmas treefor 20 or more years for it to have less environmental impact than a natural treeA lot of things come into play when considering which Christmas tree to choose. “The impact of both types of trees varies based on how far consumers travel to get their tree, how they dispose of their tree (for live trees, landfill, incinerate or compost), and how long consumers use their trees,” the researchers of the 2018 studyconcluded.So, if you’re going for a live tree, be sure to buy it locally. That way, you’re not contributing to extra emissions with your gas-guzzling car and supporting the local economy. And be sure to get rid of it responsibly: replant, compost, or use it for mulch. Incinerating it will just release the carbon back into the atmosphere.If you’re worried that there are already too many trees being cut down and don’t want to contribute to deforestation, don’t feel bad. Bill Ulfelder, executive director of the Nature Conservancy in New York with a Master’s degree in forestry,told The Washington Postthat it’s the contrary. “Trees are a renewable resource. When they’re being cut, they’re being harvested in ways that they’re being replanted, so it’s a great renewable resource that provides lots of environmental, conservation and nature benefits.“However, be sure not to leave your liveChristmas treeinside for too long. Experts say that trees can get used to the warm indoor climate and then might not survive outside after Christmas. If you’re planning to replant your tree, don’t leave it indoors for more than 12 days or two weeks max.

If you’re a DIY and baking enthusiast, you can make your own ornaments from salt dough.

You might be thinking that throwing everything and anything on your tree is the best way for it to stand out. But Jennifer is here to restrain us all. “I have an aunt who’s ex-husband once asked: ‘Do you own a jewelry box?’ She tended to wear all her jewelry at once and he was probably hinting she could use an edit. Probably why he’s an ex,” Jennifer quipped.“As an avid Christmas collector, I think of this story often. I can’t have EVERYTHING out at once. I rotate years with my ornaments, trees, and collections.

I’m a firm believer [that] minimalism is for quitters but even I know to use the metaphorical jewelry box when decorating,” she added.

I’m a bit of a Christmas tree decorating addict and I love non-traditional colour combinations. After Christmas last year I was able to snag a bunch of black ornaments and thought adding gold created a formal look.I started really getting into it after a rough mental health year in 2019. Once the pandemic hit I kept my tree up for a year, changing the colour combinations a few times. It made me smile every time I looked at it, and the act of redecorating gave me something to look forward to.I would love to turn my addiction for tree decorating into a business in the future, but I have no idea where to start or how much I would charge. I have a pretty big horde of ornaments, enough to easily do five trees a year. I always buy new colours after Christmas at a discount, so much collection keeps growing. I already know my next two themes and I can’t wait until next year to share them!
