Alba Christmas Tree 2016

This year I was so fortunate to get this awesome tree from Michael's! They surprised four random Instagram followers with a dream tree as part of their Dream Tree Home Tour, and I was one of the lucky ones!  Thank you so much, Michael's!!!!

This year I wanted to create a garland to go with the tree skirt that I made (post on that to follow). I ripped fabric in about 3"strips, gathered it and put it on the tree. I love how it turned out.

This year I used the same colors as last year--red and cream.

I just love this tree because it almost looks flocked with the split pine needles. So I have the beautiful flocked-type look without the mess. :)

Of course I had to put out my tabletop cone trees as well.  Red tissue tree tutorial here.

I created two new cone trees to go with this color scheme and here's a tutorial for the red chevron tree.
