5 Ways to Give Your Christmas Tree a Sports Team Makeover

Sometimes, it's fun to mix up your holiday decorations and try a new theme for your Christmas tree. There are so many options, but because this is The Style Ref, let's try a sports team-inspired tree, shall we?! You don't have to spend a fortune buying new ornaments and accessories, though. Instead, focus on a few key elements to make your Christmas tree shine with team pride this holiday season.

As an example, here's how I would make over a Christmas tree for an Ohio State fan:

1. Light It Up

Team Lights are a simple way to add instant team spirit to your tree! Just wrap them around and you have the perfect base for the rest of your decorations.

2. Use Team Colors

Choose solid-colored ornaments in your team colors. Target and Walmart have great selections. These aren't the exact shades of OSU scarlet and gray, but it accomplishes the goal. You can also add a third color as an accent, such as the white shown here.

Silver & White  \  Red

3. Add a Little Fun

Choose a few statement ornaments. These can be pricey, so just a few will do,

especially if your tree is on the smaller side.

4. Top It Off

Crown your tree with a team topper. This one is lighted, so the 

Ohio State logo shines brightly at night.

5. It's All About That Base

Finish it off with a team tree skirt. This one is nice and simple with the 

OSU logo embroidered on one section.

What do you think of my Ohio State Christmas tree? Will you give your tree a sports team makeover this year?
