One of the great joys around Christmas is the opportunity to craft little festive objects. Paper ring chains, elegant 3-D paper snowflakes, salt dough ornaments, and more are easy, affordable, and don’t need a Christmas tree to be displayed, so be sure to craft plenty. Part of the downside of not having a Christmas tree is that it takes up a lot of visual space and acts as a visual centerpiece for the room. Without a tree, you want to create that same feeling of festive abundance, so when it comes to displaying these fun crafts, take on a “more is more” approach. Simply hang your crafts from any surface you can reach — windows, doors, walls, banisters, and even ceilings are fair game.
If you have an amazing bauble and ornament collection, you can still showcase them with or without a tree! Hang your ornaments from some sturdy ribbon, twine, or fishing line for a floating effect, and secure them to the ceiling or light fixtures. They will glisten just as beautifully from your dining room chandelier as they would from a spruce branch. Just be sure they are hung high enough that nobody will go walking into them, and hung securely enough that they won’t fall and shatter. To further fill out the space, hang tinsel, faux garland, ribbons, and anything else you might have normally put on a tree.
