TREE DRESSING
By the time you read this, Tree Dressing Day may have passed as it’s always the first weekend in December. However, you can still share your work (and find others’) on Twitter with the hashtag #TreeDressingDay even after the event.
How you dress your trees will very much depend on the type and size of trees you have. Evergreens lend themselves to bright and gaudy dressings (a bit like Christmas trees), since natural materials are less likely to stand out against dark wintry branches. On the other hand, bare deciduous trees offer a skeleton form to work with, and children’s creativity can be set free with combinations of natural, found objects and a few light or brightly coloured objects.
