Magic Mushroom Christmas Tree & DIY Paper Ornaments
I love unique ideas that don’t cost a fortune and I am in love with my latest mushroom Christmas tree covered in DIY paper ornaments. The best part is that the entire tree cost less than $10 to decorate! There is no limit to the number of unique looks you can give your tree by using my tips for decorating with gift wrap!

I’ve got two words for you … gift wrap! Last year, I used a piece of flat gift wrap as art on my mantel and people went crazy for the retro look! Quality flat wrap is a single sheet of wrapping paper that is usually much heavier weight than regular wrapping paper on the roll. There is something for everyone and every season. When I spotted this mushroom wrap, I knew immediately what I would do with it.
I cut the schrooms out and placed them between heavy book to keep them from curling.
When it was time to decorate the tree, I poked a hole through the top for the ornament hook.
I love unique trees and tree toppers and this little elf oversees his enchanted mushroom forest!
I love my little white Christmas tree tucked in the corner of my family room with a basket turned tree skirt.
Don’t miss the different looks of my white tree over the years …
Three different pom pom garlands combine to create such a whimsical tree. The house ornaments is a garland that I cut apart.

I love the simplicity of a mass of one type of ornament covering a tree like this flock of cardinals.
