Tips for Decorating Your Classic Blue and White Christmas Tree
When you start mapping out this blue and white decorating scheme, it’s essential to create layers on your Christmas tree. As the base, each year we use a prelit tree and always add additional Christmas lights to create a beautiful warm glow that will showcase everything you place on your Christmas tree. After the christmas lights we focus on creating layers on the Christmas tree design which add dimension and draw your eye in and guide your eye through the design. Using elements like your largest baubles, berry picks, and ribbons placed strategically will make a map of your largest components to guide your placement of the smaller and feature blue and white Christmas ornaments to ensure they stand out in your overall design.

Silver Mercury Ornaments
Silvery mercury ornaments also rift off of the historical vibes of blue and white ornaments. Mercury ornaments were developed in Europe, particularly in Germany, in the early 1800s. Artisans would blow glass into shapes and then apply a mixture of silver nitrate and other chemicals to create a reflective surface. In general, metallic Christmas ornaments in either silver or gold are timeless and a great investment. Each year we plan our Christmas tree theme utilizing either silver or gold ornaments with every Christmas tree theme.
White Berry Picks
White berry picks are a stunning addition to any Christmas tree, enhancing the wintry aesthetic to your Christmas Tree Decor. Their delicate, frosted appearance captures the essence of a “white Christmas,” evoking feelings of warmth and nostalgia. By incorporating these white berry picks into your holiday decorations, you not only achieve a stunning visual effect but also evoke the magic and beauty of a winter wonderland to the interior of your home. To achieve the best visual impact, place the picks at varying heights and depths throughout the tree. This creates a more natural look, mimicking the appearance of fresh winter berries.
White Christmas Ornaments
Incorporating white balls into your blue and white Christmas tree enhances the breathtaking wintry monochromatic color theme – creating a sophisticated and cohesive Christmas aesthetic. The crisp, bright white provides a striking contrast against the deep shades of blue, allowing each hue to stand out while harmonizing beautifully. The interplay of these colors not only adds depth but also evokes the serene beauty of a winter landscape. The glossy finish of these white ornaments reflects light in a way that mimics freshly fallen snow. When decorating your blue and white Christmas tree strategically placing the white balls throughout the tree can help create focal points that draw attention to special blue ornaments or unique decorations.
DIY Blue and White Ornaments
Creating your own blue and white Christmas ornaments can be a delightful and rewarding DIY project, especially when using elegant white glass balls as your canvas. These ornaments not only look beautiful on their own, but they also serve as a wonderful opportunity to personalize your holiday decor. Here’s how to bring your vision to life with blue willow-inspired motifs using a specific shade of blue color Sharpie.
- Start by gathering your materials. You’ll need white glass balls, the specific shade of blue Sharpie, a clean workspace, and possibly a paper towel or soft cloth for any smudges. Before you begin decorating, it’s helpful to wash the glass ornaments with warm soapy water to remove any residue or dust, ensuring that the surface is clean for the best results.
- Next, take a moment to plan your design. Blue willow patterns often feature intricate scenes with trees, pagodas, and birds, so consider sketching a few ideas on paper first. This will help you visualize how the motifs will look on the ornaments and guide your drawing process.
- Once you have a design in mind, carefully start applying the blue Sharpie to the ornament. Begin with lighter, flowing lines to outline your motifs, as this will allow for adjustments if needed. The smooth surface of the glass makes it easy to create fine details, so take your time and enjoy the creative process. If you make a mistake, don’t worry—simply wipe the area with a cloth before it dries, and start again.
- As you complete each ornament, allow the designs to dry completely before handling them further. This ensures that your artwork remains intact and vibrant. You can add layers of details once the initial designs are dry, enhancing the complexity of the motifs.
- To add a final touch, consider sealing your designs with a clear acrylic spray or sealer to protect them from scratches and fading over time. Once sealed, your ornaments are ready to hang on your tree or be gifted to friends and family.
