Extend Your Party Theme to the Tree

Create a memorable Christmas tree that coordinates with your decorating theme by using only a few types of ornaments. Silver tassels are finished with double knots of plaid. Red birds hunker down in cozy nests, and shiny bells lure kids of all ages to give a little jingle. Wooden craft-store disks, covered with plaid paper (photocopied from fabric), take the place of traditional glass balls.
