Make a Baseball Theme Christmas Tree

Do you love sports? Why not make a baseball theme tree? Using a white tree, take some white ball ornaments and turn them into baseballs using red paint or red marker. 

Add baseball gloves. Place your child’s hand on a piece of cardboard and trace the hand with a pencil. Cut out the cardboard hand prints and insert the cardboard cutouts into small brown gloves. Hang the gloves on the tree using brown wool. 

Want to add baseball bats? Use your favorite cookie recipe. Shape the dough into the form of baseball bats. Since the cookies will become brown after baking, there is no need for food color. Tie the bats at the neck with ribbon or wool and hang the bats on the tree. Personalize the bats with the names of your favorite players by writing their names on the bats using melted chocolate and a pastry gun.  

Make a tree skirt out of fabric using the colors of your favorite team. For example, let’s say you choose the New York Yankees. Take white fabric and add a black border. Take black fabric and cut out the letters New York Yankees. Sew the letters onto the white fabric. Add sparkles of red to enhance the red ornaments on the tree. Of course, if you prefer, you can use a team logo blanket or sheet you may already have on hand.
 
Place your favorite team’s logo atop the tree. Again using the New York Yankees logo, follow these steps. Take a piece of cardboard and decorate by painting the colors of the team’s uniform, i.e., black and white pin stripes. Place two holes in the cardboard. Place black wool around the top branch and tie it. Insert each end of the wool from the back of the cardboard through the two holes in the front of the cardboard, and make small knots to hold the cardboard in place.
 
Or, if that sounds too complex, just hang your team’s hat on top of the tree.
 
Finally, add red lights to complete this amazing baseball tree. You will have created a unique tree to display in your home.
