I’m so excited to finally reveal my MICHAELS DREAM TREE! It was so much fun creating this black and white tree with a little touch of gold. Black and white is one of my all time favorite color schemes. It’s always in style and never gets old. Adding neutral metallics like gold, silver and bronze gives it just a little extra glam! If you LOVE color you can still get a look just like this. Just add one or two of your favorite colors and BAM you got yourself a dream tree.
When it came to creating this tree I wanted it to be cohesive. I feel like monochromatic rooms seem to invite those relaxing and calming atmospheres and that’s exactly what I wanted.
To start things off I added some flocked branches I picked up from Michaels floral section to my 7ft Willow Christmas Tree to brighten it up a bit. This is a great way to get a white flocked look with out spending the extra money! Place several of them in the tree for a winter feel.
I also added some other gorgeous trimmings like black and white striped ribbon, handmade banners and handmade ornaments!
These faux marble ornaments were so fun to make. Look out for the tutorial coming up in a couple of weeks!
I will also be showing you to make these dotted ornaments out of porcelain and glass ornaments from Michaels!
These wrapping papers are going to go great under the tree! Only $2 each folks! Plus there is a lot of paper on these rolls! I was so excited to come across and entire black, white and gold section! You can find these in the bargain section at Michaels.

I just came across your blog and I have to say, I love your style in decorations and the way you are writing. Adding those little banners – too cute! I might just go and copy it. 😉
So gorgeous! Where are the stockings and the garland on your mantle from?
Gorgeous! Where are your stockings and the garland on your mantle from?
I love your tree! It’s gorgeous!
I love black and white stripes and just adore the ribbon around the tree! It looks like the ribbon is actually two pieces side by side or sewed together? Or is it just one width of very wide ribbon? Thank you!
Yep, I fused them together to make a thicker ribbon!
Hi Destiny, the tree is fabulous and very inspirational! Could you please tell me where I could find the ribbon you used? I didn’t see anything like it at Michaels
How did you fuse them together?? I am in LOVE with your tree and so inspired by it. I am having the hardest time finding ribbon as thick as yours. Thank you!!!
I just saw that you sewed them together. I should have kept reading! Thanks!
Gorgeous tree! Did you sew two piece of the ribbon together in order to create a thicker ribbon garland? Thanks!
Yes I did:0)
Love this tree!! Did you make the Merry Chriatmas banners or buy them?? I’d love to be able to do the same for my tree!
Where’d you get the noel pillow?
LOVE this beautiful tree you created! Can you tell me where the gold sparkle ornaments are from? As well as the black & white ribbon?

I absolutely love ur tree! But i am not crafty! Would. U have any suggestions where i can buy the black n white ribbon fused together ? Also any suggestions on how to put the ribbon garland on there so pretty? Start at the bottoms? Ornaments on before the ribbon/after? What material ribbon-mesh? See i told u I need help lol! Ive never done the ribbon before n dying to try 🙂
This is simply beautiful and breathtaking! Love it!
Every year I try to do a tree that looks different from the previous year. You’r black and white tree is so beautiful!!!! I am so inspired that I am definitely stealing this idea.
