The Mother Nature Christmas tree may be my favorite for the year! And you might know....Carrie was thinking the same thing! We both can't have same tree can we. Maybe this is one of those times I need to pull the old "I'm your Mother" excuse.))
Rachel, Carrie and Casey have outdone themselves with this tree. Course I'm not partial to their work or anything like that))
The honeycomb ball ornament is a great filler ornament. It's inexpensive, made of plastic and has an antique look about it. The ornament is a light gold, champagne color that blends with so many Christmas tree themes. It's perfect for this Mother Nature look. XH955946
One trick to having a beautiful Christmas tree and not break the bank, is to use filler ornaments like the honeycomb ball. Choose in colors that blend with your theme and try assorted sizes. Tuck larger balls deep into the tree and smaller ones out toward the edge.
Choose ornaments in the same color pallet but different sizes and finishes.

It's hard to describe the picks and sprays on this tree, because Rachel uses a combination of products. Sometimes when I'm writing a blog post and trying to figure out exactly what product Rachel used...sometimes I find out....it came out of a pasture or someone's back yard! It's hard to tell the real from the faux!
So, if you live in the area, don't be surprised if Rachel knocks on your door one day to ask if she can snip your dead hydrangeas......or cut a bit of your dead pampas grass, or leafy magnolia. After all, this is a Mother Nature theme so it's only natural to head to the woods to shop for goodies!
Kind of daunting isn't it. Beautiful product, but what do you do with it? That's a question we get many times with regards to products and that's one reason for opening the retail store in Pontotoc. Customers can view products like the Amaranthus Hanging Stem on the website and have trouble imagining how to use it in their decor. Nonw, with the retail store we can show you!
She used this beautiful product on the Mother Nature tree and the stem is the first thing you notice when you look at the tree. The stem adds interest, texture, and dimension....it has it all. It's a great product to use from fall through winter. The SKU is 262406
The Eucalyptus spray is a silvery gold and would blend well with gold, silver or champagne color theme. It's a RAZ spray and measures about 35" in length. The SKU is F3802313.
There is also some green Eucalyptus in there which available only at the store. We do have another Eucalyptus spray in stock from RAZ that also contains some cotton. It would be a good fit for the Mother Nature theme. The SKU is F3802476.
Rachel has a vivid imagination and between her, Casey and Carrie, they create what they need for a tree. Twiggy garland sounded like a good thing for this tree, but since they had none, they tore apart a grapevine and wove it in and around the tree.
The green twig that you see is an actual product! However, it's not uncommon to see Rachel with a can of spray in her hands.
The green curly twig was used just as it came, but if it's not the color you might want.....spray paint it! That's Rachel's motto. The curly twig is also available in brown. The brown curly twig SKU is 20057BN. The green curly twig SKU is 20057GN
We also have a dark green curly bush that would work. The SKU is 13342DKGN. It's pictured below. Spray paint a bush like this before you tear it apart. That's just a hint from my experience because, we first start selling bushes, sprays, etc, we didn't know that it was common to tear bushes apart and use the pieces. As you can imagine, my first attempts at floral arranging were pretty dismal. Live and learn.
Rachel used Magnolia picks mainly in the tree topper. Magnolia stems are great for year round use. Their dark green glossy leaves are such a contract to the golden brown velvety back of the leaves. There are several different Magnolia picks available on the website. And, they are inexpensive!
NF203554 Olive Brown Magnolia Leaf Pick
56407BNGN Green Brown Magnolia Leaf
NF203553 Fall Magnolia Leaf
The second faux leather ribbon is 1.5" in width and 5 yards on the roll. It's brown with a stitched edge and wired of course. The faux brown leather ribbon is shaded differently on each side. The SKU is ds10-3369
The tree topper was created by placing pick in the top of the tree along with some dried Pampas grass. Other components of the topper included Magnolia pick, Eucalyptus and pinecone. Because the topper was created by inserting individual picks, you could remove the artificial elements and use again next year. Just toss the dried grasses.
Rachael fashioned a simple loop bow with long tails. As you can see, pieces of the different ribbons were attached in and around the tree and allowed to loosely drape down the tree. There is one more thing you might want to add to this tree. A bird nest!
