When you're wanting to pull together a fantastic plaid look, look no further than this completely polished and delightfully whimsical red and black Christmas tree!
Our friend, Maymay from Maymay Made It! came out for one of our recent in-store events, and we loved talking through the bundles and how easy they make decorating your tree and — if you don't use the entire kit on your tree — your entire home! She took our Snowberry Christmas Tree Bundle and did an amazing work. She truly is a joy to watch!
Let's walk through the decor process with her and see how she transforms the decor pieces. We love how she showcases how simple it is to follow the process and come out with one of the best looking trees you've ever made! And if you'd like to continue with this theme, be sure to watch the original tutorial as well!
A Red and Black Christmas Tree
When we brought this design together, we wanted to couple a black and white check with traditional red plaid. With that base of the ribbon, adding in the fun snow elements with other deep contrasting colors, we saw a warm and heartfelt compilation emerge — that we just love! And the fact that Maymay's craft room is a fun plaid shouted that this was a match made in heaven!
Walk through the 4-step process with Maymay and Shannon — you'll be so glad you did.
1. Crafting the Tree Topper
Maymay does an excellent job describing how to match the right elements together in sprays — with texture, movement, and visual interest, you can't beat this winning combination!

2. Adding Ribbon
Often people do think that ribbon can be a challenge — but it's so worth it when you see the amount of color and fun it adds! With the wired edges, it just takes a few tries to get a feel for the fabric and weight of our ribbons. With in a few minutes of playing and moving, you'll start to pull together a true layout for the tree. We love the fantastic tips Maymay highlights for inserting the ribbon into the Christmas tree!

3. Pulling in Stems and Florals
You can see the visible excitement Maymay has when she starts adding the floral clusters and individual stems! And we love this part too — it's such a simple and effective way to bring in a variety of coordinated looks.
