Jazzing up the Tree

For more Christmas Trees visit Tip Junkie!

Have you ever wanted to change your Christmas tree decor but knew that starting over was out of the question? I started by changing the location of our tree. It has always been in front of one of the windows, now it is between the living and dining areas and is out from the wall.

I wanted to add a little more 'pop' to my tree, but still hang on to my red and white. Here is a picture of some of the red, white, and clear decorations that I've bought in recent years.
And here is the tree after I added my shimmery lime green ribbon and new ornaments to the tree. I also used red and alternated it with the green ribbon throughout the tree. Please excuse the boxes....I make a big mess when I decorate!
It is hard to get a picture of a Christmas tree that does it justice...so here is one without the flash.
I also added these feathery looking things I bought on sale after Christmas at Pier 1. They have little tiny mirrors on them and you just poke them in the branches. I think they really dressed up my tree and reflect lots of light.
Here's an close up view of one of the crystal prism ornaments I bought a few years ago...halfprice of course!
And another close up showing the ribbon and new green ornaments.

I have several of the little pear shaped ornaments with the white swirls. They came from Dollar Tree a few years ago!
I am a self confessed tree tweaker! I have been known to buy tree decorations on sale after Christmas and come home and hang them on the tree before I take the tree down!

So far this year I'm happy with the tree....it's in a new location-and has some added pizazz with the lime green ornaments and ribbon.

What do you do to change up the look of your tree?
