Decorations for Ombre Christmas Trees
Depending on the color combination you decide on, there are a few things you might want to purchase.
- white Christmas tree – this is the perfect base if you’re looking to create a striking visual effect, or create one of the black and white trending ombre trees. They are super easy to spray paint, so in theory, you can go for any color you like.
- Christmas baubles in your selected color theme – these are relatively inexpensive if you buy them in big sets, and most stores offer a few gradients of the same color, so they are easy to combine and match the correct shade
- custom Christmas tree decorations – if you want to venture beyond festive baubles, there are other custom decorations that are popular today, but executing the ombre look becomes a little more tricky and also more expensive.
- matching base cover – if you want to create a rainbow tree, a mix of different colored ribbons looks great as a finishing touch to your tree. For other cases, just get the cover in the color of your bottom tree layer.
