Family Room Christmas Tree Using Deco Mesh Ribbon and Grapevine

Hi Everyone! I've trimmed the family room tree and I'm ready to show you. I kept my tree very similar to last year's tree, however, I used less ornaments and more Christmas picks.  I also incorporated grapevine this year to add a rustic touch.  I thought I was done with this tree, but will be adding one more layering element which I will post about later this week.   
Hope you enjoy the video. 
I used a lot of picks to add a whimsical touch throughout the tree.
I love things that sparkle and shimmer, so this is the *BLING* I've brought to the tree.
Come back and visit me later this week, I have so much to show you! :)
XOXO ~Liz

Liz, this tree is so pretty! I love all of the sparkly picks you've added! I officially dub you the "Queen of Christmas"...lol! Your videos are all amazing. Thanks for sharing your talents and decorating tips with us! Excited to see more!

I love it! It's absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing the video. That really helps! How would you do it if you wanted the deco mesh to go around the tree? When you did yours straight down the tree...is each strand a roll of the deco mesh or did you cut it? I want our tree to have that full look. Also, I love how you do the ornaments! I never would have thought to do that!! Smart!!!

Keep the decoratiing videos coming! I love it! :) :)

Jemsmom said...

Thank you for the deco mesh tutorial!!! :-) Great video and that tree is GORGEOUS!!! I have a question for you... about how many picks do you put in the tree? I am doing my 9 foot tree differently this year and was curious how many you used. I can't wait to see more!!!

Your tree is absolutely beautiful; LOVE the bling! As always, you have the best ideas so keep them coming. You're so lucky to be able to wear a sweater where you live. I'm decorating my bedroom tree in shorts and a tank top. Have fun this week!

Debbiedoo's said...

Great tips Liz. I am going to be taking off the top of my ornaments now. I always wondered how to do that mesh as well on a tree, so thank you:)

Shelia said...

Angie said...

Liz, it's absolutely beautiful - like something from a department store! Just curious as to how many picks you used and how much it cost? I'm sure you got them on half off at HL but still wondering an estimate so I can have an idea for my tree. Thanks!

Kathy said...

Great Video Liz, headed to SFO for our anniversary this week, hoping to make it up north soon though..btw your trees are better than Wights!

Dear, dear Liz. Thank you for being so generous in sharing your tips, ideas and inspiration. Can you give us an idea approximately how many deco mesh rolls it would take to do a tree this size? I always have difficulty judging how much is needed of supplies.

Ingrid Cordak said...

Thanks for taking the time to show us how to use the grapevine and the deco mesh. I'd love it if you could show us how you did the picks and how many we would need for a tree your size.

Billie Ross said...

Liz, I just posted a blurb about your Christmas decor and a link back to your blog at my site. I started putting up my Christmas decor yesterday and thought, "Wow...if my readers could only see what LIZ does..." So then I just got the idea to link back to you.

I think your ideas are marvelous and I love what you do...it never ceases to amaze me.

Your blurb and link will post tomorrow.
