10 DIY Ideas to Seriously Upgrade Your Christmas Tree/DIY Tree Collar

[@CanterburyCottage]

Hope you all are having a great week and enjoying the autumn weather before it leaves us for good! I included links for the green tree and the silver tinsel tree, but, unfortunately, I can’t find the white tree. I bought it 5-7 years ago online (but I don’t remember where). If by chance I do find it, I will mention it and link it in a future video. I did see that Wayfair carries a similar champagne shaded tree that looks lovely.

And to make you even more lovely, you are kind, thoughtful, care about the environment, you love birds and animals, and you are enormously humble about it all. How positively lovely you are!! I Love the Green natural tree the most. I am an outdoors person who loves nature and animals more than anything. The beautiful rustic star adorning the top of your tree is the perfect finishing touch! Thanks again for sharing your ideas and creativity with us!

The little silver one is incredible!

[@lydiaflatt9859]

That throated scarf tree box…wonderful!!

[@nancydrury532]

All the trees were beautiful, and I’m so happy you didn’t fill the trees with ribbon...I love beautiful ribbon, but the trees today aren’t seen because they are loaded with ribbon and huge ornaments...I especially liked the green tree as it reminds me of our trees I decorated when my 5 children were young...what precious memories...Thank you for your excellent tutorials...I always enjoy them...♥️🎄🎁❄️☃️

[@merrietolzmann8908]

I liked all of them, especially the silver tree. It enhanced the bright and the delicate colors of the vintage bulbs. Good choice. Liked that you made a collar. Thanks for the musical ornament ideas from an earlier video.

[@michelel3372]

Hard to pick a favorite ... loved them all. I do love vintage and rustic though, so I guess I would pick one of those. Thank you for sharing.

[@debbievanhoecke3727]

Beautiful trees. My favorite was the green tree cuz I'm a woodsy kinda gal. TFS

[@sarahpollnow3137]

Boy! I never thought I would like a white tree, but yours takes the cake! Beautiful! I really love the silver with the vintage ornaments too. And truly, the rustic traditional tree is so creative and unusual. Very well done, of course.🥰😍👍❤🎄🎄🎄

[@tngrandma242]

There's no way I can pick one tree over the others, I love all three. Your silver tree looks a lot like an old fashioned feather tree. I enjoy my Tuesday morning coffee a little more than other days because I have you to watch to start my day on a bright note. Thank you for sharing.

[@colorcrayon54]

All beautiful but I think I like the white one best!

[@joanritten8923]

You are the best!! I loved both the green and white trees. Love everything about your style!

[@ebyjo6201]

Hello! I love all of your trees but the favorite is with the vintage ornaments. I have my grandparents ornaments from the 40s and 50s. Many of the ones you have I have!

[@MEM1066]

This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Both trees are beautiful. I loved the little tree with the vintage baubles. Took me back to my childhood ❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄

Thanks, Kimberly! I was struggling to find enough sticks in my yard. I was considering hunting in my neighbor’s yard, too!😜

[@darleneredbird4]

I loved all the trees. You have given so many ideas to make the trees beautiful. I have some of the vintage ornaments, so I need to find a small silver tree. Thank you.

[@janholdridge723]

My favorite tree is the red one. I have a soft spot for red and green this time of year. I must also say that of all of the tree collars I've seen on the internet this season - yours is my favorite. Thank you again Sherry for so many wonderful ideas!

[@marciagainey5155]

I love how you show ways to repurpose items and use thrifted or found objects. The sticks and dried flowers from your yard were nice touches. I’ll be looking more carefully for fabric and other items the next time I’m out thrifting! Thanks! I liked the little tree because the ornaments reminded me of the ones from my childhood.

[@melissavancl_2090]

I love them all. I completely agree with you about the use of ribbon. You make me feel good just watching your videos. Very thankful for you Sherri

[@nowvoyagerNE]

your trees are so beautiful, they brought tears to my eyes. i know they are artificial, but i could swear i smelled pine as i look at them. thank you for sharing your tree decorating tips with us.

[@ccoeurjoli]

Merci Sherry ! Ma préférence est le petit sapin aux ornements vintage 😍 ! Il est plus épuré 😄 ! Mais les deux autres sapins sont charmants ! 🌸🌸🌸

[@kimberlym.3643]

Your tree's are so beautiful! You are so talented!

[@TuckerSP2011]

The tree collar was so adorable when finished. They were all so pretty and festive. I liked the ornament that was a cross section of a tree with an image of a squirrel on it. Years ago I did a woodland Christmas tree and ornaments like that would have been brilliant with pictures of owls, squirrels, deer etc. Your imagination and creativity knows no bounds.

[@candytwodeer8138]

I am so mesmerized by a lot of your diys you are amazing. TFS a long time subscriber. God bless you and your family and friends

Thank you so much, Tucker. 😊 I actually made those woodland animal ornaments in a previous video. Did you miss it? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqOypmhmfqdkrpY

Loved them all. Im recovering from surgery and am not able to go out so this help inspire me to use more of what I have around my house and yard. God bless you.

[@sharonwilliamson4592]

Those were very clever ideas. I have lots of sticks that’s for sure 😁. 🎄👍💕

[@stephaniecrafts9169]

These trees are all so beautiful. I have to say I’ve never been interested in white trees, but I can now see the beauty of the natural monochrome feeling. I’ve never thought of putting in sticks, bundles or dried flowers from the yard but that added a lovely rustic touch with the browns and whites. As always, lots of ideas to put in the hopper! Thanks!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you for those kind comments! 😊 I’m so glad I was able to share some ideas with you, Stephanie!

[@meganblasco2]

I loved the rustic elements with the white tree too : )

[@janebentrott5984]

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! I love that you don’t go out and purchase new items, but use what you have or what you can create! Each tree was beautiful and unique in it’s own way!!!🎄😊🎄

[@connieborg6471]

Most different handmade decorations that Ive ever seen! They are beautiful, and the cardboard box, now thats creativity at its finest.. God bless your talent

[@corinnabilling37]

You're such a wonderful teacher. Yes, I've recently learned that you are truly a teacher. I believe an English teacher? It's no wonder your projects are so easily followed. By far the best instructor on KZbin I've encountered thus far. Thank YOU so much for sharing and making sure you explain and TEACH your ALWAYS wonderful projects. I simply love you!!! Take care now, and God Bless 👍👍👍👍🎄🎄👩‍🎓🥰

[@belyndaperry7877]

I watch a lot of Christmas decorating videos and I have to say that this is one of the best. You showed good, do-able, beautiful ideas and I thank you very much!

[@heidyalpizar]

I like them all! I specially like how the rustic star looks with the sticks or branches on top of the tree 😍

[@natsomething0]

Your tinsel tree touched me and reminded me of the one we had when I was a child. We had the color wheel and I can still remember the droning sound of the motor...a comforting memory, indeed. Love those vintage ornaments. I'd love to find a set myself that included the grapes and pineapples that were my childhood favorites. It's strange how nostalgia takes hold as you age.

[@TP19705]

I had one too as a kid! It took me back as well. I still remember asking my mom for a real tree but she didn’t want a mess so this was what we had.

[@CanterburyCottage]

A few of the vintage ornaments are from my childhood, but most have been purchased at antique malls. If I see one that reminds me of those we had as a child, I have to get it!😊

[@kraftykathy.]

Yes!! I was thinking the same thing! I had them too! My sweet grandma had so many of the ones miss sherry is showing ❤️Next week I plan to show the ornaments I have left from my granny on my channel!

[@creativelaurisjewelrygems4702]

I loved all three trees. They're all unique & beautiful in their own way. I have some of the vintage, glass ornaments but I don't use them since I got kitties. One day I'll be able to use them again but I think the trade off is worth it. Another wonderful video.

[@patriciarafter3h]

Beautiful trees and so inspiring. I love the green one! I love the woodland look!💗

[@tisa6193]

Beautiful! That tree collar is genius! Can't wait to try making one! I don't think I can pick a favorite tree they were all so pretty!

[@CanterburyCottage]

I’m so glad you liked the tree collar! 😊 Be sure to find boxes that are a bit taller than mine. I wish I had hunted down some taller ones.

[@differentperspective4124]

That was my favorite, too!

[@caronward4042]

Just BEAUTIFUL! I have those same vintage ornaments! Since my tree has been rustic for the past few years, I put my vintage and special ornaments is a large clear bowl. One of the ornaments was made by my mother when I was five, and I'm 68 now. Than you so much for your inspiration and helping us live a beautiful life on a budget

All three were gorgeous and I would love to have in my home but I adore antique ornaments so the last small silver tree is my favorite ☺️

[@cerwelt]

Each tree had its own beauty.

[@galinakrymskaia8640]

They all gorgeous , but the silver one with beautiful colorful ornaments and white little houses is my favorite!!

[@tammyr6669]

Oh my gosh!! I can not choose just one and this is the most informative tree set up that I have ever seen. So, so creative with things around the house and yard. Thank you so much!! ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, I am so glad that I could share some ideas with you, Tammy! 😊

[@andreagorham1985]

All of these ideas are fantastic! The toppers on both trees are beautiful ! The idea of clustering ornament balls on a string of wire is very unique. I’m definitely going to add that one to my tree this year🎄

[@grannygarden5887]

I have so many vintage ornaments due to how long i have been alive and inheriting them. I loved what you did with yours. Remember tinsel? It was so messy but as a kid we loved throwing at the tree. Then the kitty would eat it. What a fun episode and brings back so many memories. Blessings

[@cindybolling5855]

I’m an old soul, and I must pick your green tree with all the red trimming as my favorite. They were all beautiful but if I could re-create one it definitely would be the green. Thank you for all of your Christmas ideas. I look so forward to Tuesdays.

[@murielbaith5445]

The silver one is my favorite. A new way to display vintage ornaments.

[@debbyroisen630]

I really appreciate you going through the process of creating a Christmas tree collar- I have looked at these a Target & Lowe’s and they are very expensive & I liked the red plaid that you covered the box with. I look forward to Tuesdays because of your creative posts.

[@dorothykovak4900]

I loved the green one and all the natural decorations. But, all of the trees were stunning. And that silver one - absolutely gorgeous with all the vintage ornaments! You are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@cynthiajuarez5855]

They are all beautiful but my favorite one was the little one with the vintage ornaments because I like vintage ornaments on my treat too when I put it up but I haven't put one up for so many years I don't know if I put one up this year but they're all cute I love those vintage ornaments cuz I have some vintage ones too some like that and some like other ones and even an earring that looks like a Christmas tree of gold one that I found at work one time like more than 8 years ago when I was working for Walmart but I put it on my tree now when I put my tree up thanks for sharing those with us

[@VickieAllen1109]

Sherry, These trees are Amazing and Gorgeous. It’s hard to choose a favorite but I’m going to say the Vintage one is my 1st as I love vintage, then the white one as it absolutely stunning and the green one is equally awesome with its rustic woodsy theme. TYFS your amazing talent.

[@JuneCleaver56]

Good Morning, Sherry! I have been totally decorated since November 4th. My granddaughters (2 and 6) think Mimsy's house is a magical place!! My jaw-droppers this week? I had three!!! 1) Clustering like ornaments with wire to make a bigger statement. Definitely doing that next year. 2) The cardboard box/ thrifted scarf tree skirt! O.M.Gosh!!!! and 3) The plethora of ways you find to use sticks from your yard! You must have a LOT of trees! Thank you, my friend, for this delightful video. And thank you for posting before dawn each Tuesday. I'm a very early riser and you make my Tuesdays so very special!

[@CanterburyCottage]

I’m sure Mimsy’s house IS magical (because you live there)! BTW I was struggling to find enough sticks from my yard. I have one tree that drops branches year around, but of course, when I needed a bunch, there were very few to be found!😜

All three trees have their own personality. Difficult to pick a favorite when all three are beautiful.

[@sweethaven1929]

I too have a bunch of sticks when I cut my plant down , I let them dry and now ready to be spray paint white and adding lights to it to display in my front patio, I look for more to do for the tree. Love the bird houses in the tree , the green tree my favorite , but the vintage is gorgeous ,bought back great memories as the tree I used my very first Christmas with my first son underneath for pictures. So cute .you are an amazing decorator and diy , I’ll e all your videos. Thank you, for sharing such great ideas.

[@laurieshafer2266]

Normally I wouldn't choose a white tree but your idea of layering made it myfavorite.

[@paulaflatt2936]

All your trees were unique and beautiful! You inspired me to make my own tree color this year. They run about $25.00-$75.00 depending on materials used. I think your tree color was as beautiful and waaay cheaper than store bought.

[@roxannagmurphy3611]

All of your trees are beautiful! My favorite is your green tree. I really like all of the natural elements you put on your trees.

Sheri ~ you are The Best on KZbin, hands down. Love each of the trees, but would pick the little vintage tree at the end. I live in a small condo (limited space!). Plus, I'm almost 74, so the vintage tree fits my space , and brings back memories.

[@kerrykuss642]

Beautiful trees, I only have one tree for the last few years. I have collected ornaments that are silver, white, or clear glass. I also put touches of gold here and there though out the tree. I also made the tree skirt from a silver metallic fabric with white fur like trim. I have used some of the techniques you show in your video but I learned several more that I would love to try. In the past , I have used a 4 foot tree with all of the many ornaments my former students of 30 years have given me for Christmas each year. I love this tree , it bring back so many memories. There will be a time when I will be able to used this tree again.. Thank you for sharing . Ann from Va.

The artist’s garden brought me here, but your creativity keeps bringing me back. I also love a sparse tree and thought I was the only one. My tree inspiration this year, is the tree from the movie The Bishop’s Wife. I used rolls of crystals intended for chandeliers as garland for that added sparkle. I also used your idea and brought in some branches from my red twigged dogwood, they look beautiful! Thank you for putting up your decorations early to share with us, you really are an inspiration.

[@janellington7593]

I love the natural one best! I put mine up on November 4th in remembrance of my husband. I decorate with fall leaves and words of inspiration, etc…family, gathering, home, love. After Thanksgiving I remove the words and add my rusty/natural looking homemade ornaments. I did little tree ornaments one years using my husbands old shirts and Cinnamon sticks. I just cut into strips and tied them onto the sticks and then shaped it up into the shape of a tree. The kids loved having a keep sake.
