How to Decorate a Cat-Themed Christmas Tree
Decorate Your Christmas Tree With Photos of Your Cat – We spent one morning taking hundreds of photos of my friend’s cat, Bobby. Then, we picked out the best photographs, printed them on her printer and got to work cutting them up. The easiest way to put photos of your cat on a Christmas tree is to cut the photo of the cat out of the photograph. Then, laminate each cat photograph, poke or drill a hole through the top of the photograph and push a piece of ribbon or colored string through the hole. Your laminated cat ornament is now ready to be tied to your Christmas tree.
Decorate Your Cat-Themed Christmas Tree With Mice – Okay, not real mice, that would be smelly and weird. You can buy little cat toys though that are shaped like gray mice at your local pet store. Some of them even come with bells on them. We bought 20 little gray mice cat toys, tied pink ribbons around their necks and hung them from the tree. Just make sure you don’t tie them too low down on the tree, or your cat will try to catch them and could end up pulling the whole tree down on its head!
Decorate Your Cat-Themed Christmas Tree With Cat Treats – We bought some tiny little plastic bags from our local craft store that were decorated with cats (any decorative bag would do). Then we filled each bag with cat treats, tied a pink ribbon around the top, and tied the bags to the Christmas tree. Just make sure you use plastic bags because the smell of the treats won’t be obvious. If you use paper bags, your cat will smell the treat and will climb the Christmas tree trying to get them.
Decorate Your Christmas Tree With Cat Bells – You can buy big or small cat bells at any pet store. Just tie some ribbon or festive looking string through the top of the bell and tie them to the Christmas tree. They look very sweet tied to the Christmas tree and, when the light bounces off them, the whole tree sparkles.
Decorate Your Christmas Tree With Cat Printed Ribbon – Our local craft store had the cutest ribbon printed with pictures of kittens or cats. We stuck with our color scheme (which turned out to be gray and pink) and we chose some pink ribbon with pictures of the cutest gray kittens on it. Tied around the branches of the Christmas tree in little bows, the cat ribbon made the tree look very festive.
These five fun tips will create a cat-themed Christmas tree for very little money. My friend absolutely loved her cat-themed tree and said she had had more compliments on that Christmas tree than any other Christmas tree she had ever decorated. Plus, we decorated the whole tree for less than $50 dollars. Now you can’t do better than that, can you!
