Red & Turquoise Fundraiser Tree {Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas}

Today, my sister and I were busy with our decorating gig, pretty-ing up a Christmas tree at my daughter’s school for a PTA fundraiser.  This is the second year we’ve created a tree for this event.  The tree and the funds for decorations are donated by some other generous parents, and we donate our time to pull it together.  Basically, we decide on the Christmas tree decorating idea / concept, then select the decorations, and decorate it.   Last year, our ‘theme’ for the fundraiser was a  Winter Wonderland tree.   Everything was very white, translucent and sparkly; and, we imagined it ending up in a more formal living room.

This year, we changed things up, and went a totally different route. We wanted to create a happy, cottage-y tree with lots of fun color – something that kids could enjoy as much as their parents, in a more casual setting like a playroom or TV room. We chose the cheerful combo of red and aqua / turquoise, just like the Canadian Tire Christmas tablescape I revealed here the other day.
