The YouTubers I watch are all about the fall tree. What do you think? Do you decorate a fall tree?
Maybe it's the new floors, the fact that we were thinking about moving or my recent loss but I was in the mood for a fall tree.
It's been ages since we had one up and I was on the fence about it.
Our fall tree decor was somewhat lacking and I lacked inspiration but we did have a small tote filled with woodland animals from our woodland Christmas tree.
It had been so hot this fall. When it is miserably hot, a trip to the Christmas store instantly makes everything seem cooler. They must have the thermostat really low.
They had an excellent selection of fall sprays that were deeply discounted. I was able to find beautiful, unique full sprays for $2.49 or $2.99 each.
I went from on the fence to "all in."
Our slim pine tree from Hobby Lobby is perfect for a fall tree.
I set it up, fluffed it and strung it with two types of lights. Fluffing is key!
The lights with a bigger bulb are fun. They look vintage.
This tree got a coat of white spray paint and some spray can flocking but it won't make it look less fall.
This is a refresher and a quick reminder for next month. Ribbon placement makes or breaks a tree in my opinion.
I always start at the top right hand corner.
Pinch the end of a branch around the ribbon to secure it while you manipulate the ribbon.
Twist the ribbon a little to form a perfect ringlets. I always wanted ringlets when I was little.
My mom would put my hair in pin curls over night. My hair gets bigger and bigger during the day so I never thought my ringlets were perfect.
Drape the ringleted ribbon to the left and pinch on a branch.
Wind it around the back and up a little to form another tier of ribbon.
She the picture above. See how the ribbon gets pinched in but billows out at times.
It looks a little weird but will look great once picks and ornaments are in the tree.
We had two leaf garlands from Dollar Tree. I spaced them out and then wound them in the same direction as the ribbon.
I also added some orange berry garlands. These only slightly cascade left.
These look a little like grapevine.
Next the floral sprays were added. There are two or three of each type.
Next it was time for ornaments.
Acorns, pinecones, squirrels, birds, nests and a butterfly or two.
I raided the Christmas box.
I love the russet, gold and brown tones. The buffalo check ribbon and tree skirt are darling.
Thanks for stopping by.
Fall tree? Yay or Nay?

I bent the end of the stem to create a hook to loop around the trunk or a tree branch.
