Santa North Pole Christmas Tree and Decorating Ideas!
One of the things I look forward to in blogging each year is decorating my Michaels Tree. I think this is the fifth tree I’ve had the opportunity to think up and decorate. This year as we are in our new home I was even more excited about the challenge. Since I still love our teal couch I needed to come up with a Christmas color scheme that would compliment our couch. I thought a simple red and white color scheme would be really classic and pretty. And it kind of reminded me of the North Pole and Santa.
As I was looking at Michaels and all of the fun holiday items I spied the most adorable Santa ornaments. Perfect for my Santa North Pole theme!!

I added classic striped red and white wide ribbon, felted ball garland and striped candy canes, plus I spray painted the star marquee lights from my tree last year.
Another item that I love is the galvanized tree enclosure. I get a little OCD about tree skirts. They always seem to get messy-looking with kids or pets. This galvanized enclosure is so clean and it fits in with our farmhouse decor. I love it!
I found the red and white BELIEVE pillow. It is perfect next to the tree. And I also love the striped Christmas puppy pillow from Michaels too!
And I was even able to incorporate my big DIY ladder into the decor. I have used it the past four years or so for many different uses.
It has been used to display an advent calendar, hang cards and this year I thought it would be perfect to hang stockings! And I love the Bell Banner I hung from it. PLUS, one of my favorite parts of the decor this year is a little mailbox hung on the ladder. I used thickers from my Pebbles Home+Made collection to spell out – NORTH POLE MAIL. We will use it for a family project that is coming up soon where we do little random acts of kindness for each other. I will share more on that and a little printable in the next week.

I also made a simple DIY wood sign that says NORTH POLE and hung it over the fireplace. I used my Cricut to cut out the letters and vinyl from Michaels. A tutorial on that and another big sign I made for our porch is also coming up soon.
I added my little sled I’ve had for a few years. Aren’t the coal fabric bags so cute? I think they are funny.

I also made a little Santa scene in my glass birdhouse on my work desk. You can find all of the little village figurines at Michaels in the Christmas section.
I added some simple wood letters that say SANTA to the middle of the tree.
Instead of a star for the top of the tree I took two of the candy cane ornaments and hot glued them together criss-crossed and added a simple fabric bow.
I love seeing all of the Holiday Tree ideas from the Michaels Makers! Be sure to check them all out!

the ladder you used for stockings is perfect. i have been looking forever for a way to put mine up. THANK YOU! Your tree and house is gorgeous as always!
Thanks Kiki!! I am always so cold in the winter that I run my fireplace a lot and sometimes if the stocking are hung there they get ruined so I am excited about the ladder idea this year. I hope things are going well with you. I miss you!
xoxoxo
Did you make the santa ornament
Hi Linda!
No those ornaments are at Michaels! They come in a big pack of like 20 or so and they were half off so I think $10.
