Sea Themed Christmas Tree

Simple - Sea - Themed - Tree
I started out with a blank canvas.  I decided to decorate this tree in a soothing blue with silver ribbon accents.  Our Master Bedroom is blue and brown and since we are rather close to the water, I thought it would be fun to incorporate sea shells and starfish.
This is the sitting area in the 
Master Bedroom.
I found some blue Deco Mesh Ribbon at a boutique and got to work.
This is what it looked like once I got the Deco Mesh into the tree.
In this picture, I began to fill in the tree with 3 different shades 
of blue ornaments.
I found some silver ribbon at Michael's and criss-crossed it down the tree.
I then began to add in my sea shells and starfish.
I also added some blue squiggly tree fillers to the mix.
My tree is basic looking in appearance, but I I love the simplicity of it.

The tree topper reminds me of sea pearls, the little squiggly blue things remind me of underwater vegetation,  the blue deco mesh reminds me of the water and waves, and the ribbon reminds me of netting. Anyway, I could have added a lot more to it, but I am keeping this tree simple and soothing.
Ta-da! Done! ;)
Thanks for stopping by!
