My DIY Black & White Christmas Tree

fashionlush, minimalist christmas tree, holiday diy

Being that I live in a loft style apartment, a huge ass Christmas tree was just not an option this year. Honestly though, even if I did have all the space in the world, I don’t think I’d even want one. The holiday season is stressful enough w/o having to deal with getting/lugging up a flight of stairs/decorating/cleaning up broken ornaments/lugging back down the stairs/ & disposing of a huge ass tree.

So, when Forever 21 wanted to team up to see how I was decorating my tree, I was super excited to share with the world/you guys how to turn a tiny Charlie Brown tree into a holiday masterpiece (IMO).

Since my house is mainly black & white (w/ the occasional pop of gold), I obviously wanted the tree to match, so I opted for a faux white tree which I LOVE (def. the way to go, IMO) & went ape shit on the decorations.

See below for three super rad, super chic, & super easy to make ornaments to give your boring old traditional tree some much needed flair.

Happy holidays & be sure to check out the full post on the Forever 21 blog.
