Hi guys 👋🏻
Less than a week to go!!
I thought that I would share with you one of my favourite Christmas decorations …
My Harry Potter themed Christmas tree.
I themed the tree around the colours of my favourite Hogwarts house – Gryffindor.
First, I started off by wrapping the tree with red and gold tinsel.
Next, I added the hand tied Gryffindor ribbons.
Then, I arranged all of my different Harry Potter baubles.
I have quite a few now as Primark have done some lovely sets over the last few years.
I also picked up a few amazing Gryffindor themed decorations at the studio tour in Watford.
I predominantly place my red and gold Gryffindor baubles as well as my general Harry Potter baubles, around the front of the tree. The others go around the other side to even it out.
Finally, I add my tree topper!
This year, I went for my sorting hat. I do have a Harry Potter Hogwarts Crest topper, but I could not find it in our storage unit (sad times)
The Sorting Hat looks so effective up there, it makes a brilliant topper.
I am really happy with how the tree came out this year.
I do think that I need to have my coloured fairy lights on the tree next year, just to enhance it a little and make it stand out… especially as I have a set that are red, yellow, blue, and green, which are the Hogwarts house colours.
Top tip 1: If you’d like to do your own Harry Potter tree but you can’t find any baubles for sale, then you could do what I did the first year I had one… use your Harry Potter Memorabilia to deocarte your tree ie Hogwarts train tickets, Yule Ball programme etc
Top tip 2: Buy some baubles that are the colours you want to represent on your Harry Potter tree (ie Red & Gold for Gryffindor, Silver and Green for Slytherin) You could hang them as they are or decorate them yourself to make them themed baubles.
How do you decorate your tree?
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
