How do you make the best exotic merry Christmas tree?

Well, you start with one average tree.

the tree

Hire two cute elves.

Add a thousand lights (must be multi-coloured to be considered exotic).

Take a tea break.

Add a hundred colourful ornaments.

Including bundles of gold beaded bracelets from little India.

Little beaded books (party favours really) and beautiful embellished ornaments from cobistyle.

Oh, and encrusted purse mirrors from cobistyle too, to add some bling.

Skirt the bottom with three sparkly sari’s.

And finally, stack up forty gold leaf boxes (that come with the cobistyle ornaments).

The boxes

That’s what I did, anyway, when I participated in the Gardiner Museum’s 12 Trees of Christmas charity event. The theme this year was Christmas around the world. Each designer chose a country and I took India! I find the colours so rich and gorgeous - they lend themselves beautifully to a holiday tree. It was tons of fun and a great way to raise funds for charity. The trees are on display at the Gardiner until December 9th - go check them out!
