Neutral Boho Christmas Tree With Macrame, Grasses And Orange Slices

This neutral boho Christmas tree is loaded with my own macrame Christmas ornaments and other projects I’ve made, like the fluted planter I used instead of a tree skirt. I also added a unique boho Christmas tree topper I found on clearance that was originally meant to be in a vase.

I made a DIY pampas grass Christmas tree for the same table, so be sure to check that one out too. (Let me know which tree you like better for this spot!)

How I decorated my neutral boho Christmas tree

For this tree, I wanted to use as many of my own DIY projects as possible. I didn’t have enough boho ornaments to fill our big tree, so everything ended up on the small tabletop Christmas tree instead. Apart from my DIYs, I only added three clearance finds from the craft store. Here’s everything I used.

DIY macrame ornaments

I used the half-moon tassel embellishments I made for my baskets and lampshades, but they are great for hanging as Christmas ornaments as well. Here is the video tutorial in case you are interested:

I have several other macrame ornament tutorials. They could also be used in a boho Christmas tree and are even easier to make: 6 free macrame Christmas ornament patterns, DIY macrame gnomes, and DIY macrame angels.

DIY fluted tree collar

The pole wrap from my fluted dresser makeover and DIY fluted planter was perfect for making a tree basket that is also covered with my easy macrame garland. 

DIY macrame garland for around the tree collar

My quick and easy DIY beginner macrame garland was perfect for draping around the tree collar, but is definitely not necessary to have.

Faux pampas grass garland tucked inside the tree

I made my own DIY pampas grass garland for the fireplace, but for this tree, a faux pampas grass garland was the better route. It would have gotten really messy trying to tuck a real grass garland into this faux tree.

Boho Christmas tree topper made from faux grasses

As I mentioned in my intro already, I added a unique boho Christmas tree topper. I found it on clearance, and it actually is a stem of different faux grasses and leaves. I simply stuck it at the top of the Christmas tree, and I love it.

The same one isn’t available anymore, but you could also use this neutral faux dried grass stem, this faux blush foxtail bunch, or this neutral foxtail bush for a similar look.

Another stylish, natural boho Christmas tree topper would be a Scandinavian or German straw star. You could even add a variety of small straw stars to your boho tree.

Cheap vase fillers as Christmas ball ornaments

And the ivory vase filler balls, I believe, are called preserved sola crape balls. I used them in a previous tree made, and they made a reappearance in this boho Christmas tree too. They are the perfect unusual boho Christmas ornaments with their neutral colors and organic texture. Plus, they are very affordable!

Or you could use my DIY dried flower Christmas ornaments as well.

Dried orange slices

And the orange slices were simply dried in my dehydrator. Super simple, with no oven baking involved. Simply slice your oranges, put them into a food dehydrator, and let the machine do the rest. And then use simple ornament hooks to hang the dried slices. You could also use any other citrus fruit for this.

If you don’t want to make your own dried orange slices, you can find them very affordably

Any other natural elements you can find outside

For example, you could also add some pinecones into some of the empty spaces. They would look great and add another natural boho touch.

The finished neutral boho Christmas tree in our home

Our warm white/cream wall color, Quail Egg, is the perfect match for the curtains and neutral boho tones that I added for Christmas.

Making most of the accessories myself really lowered the cost of this Christmas tree decor. This is always something I strive for.
