DIY Sprinkle Candy Christmas Tree Topper

Get ready to add a playful pop of holiday cheer to your Christmas décor! This week on our DIY Blog, our floral designer Susan created the Sprinkle Candy Christmas Tree Topper—a whimsical and colorful design that looks good enough to eat. Bursting with bright candy-inspired ornaments, glittery ribbon, and festive flair, this topper is the perfect finishing touch for anyone who loves a fun and joyful Christmas theme. Follow along as Susan shares her step-by-step process for creating this sweet showstopper for your own holiday tree! This process can also be recreated to fit any theme or Christmas decor. 

Supplies needed: 

 

  • Here is a look at all of the supplies that are needed to recreate this Tree Topper.  

 

  • Susan used a total of 26 Christmas Stems/Picks and 4 rolls of Christmas Ribbon to create this Tree Topper. This Tree Topper can be recreated using any number of stems and ribbon; they can also be adjusted to fit any theme or style. Susan decorated this tree for our Longview location; this is a 7.5' Flocked Pre-lit Tree. A Tree Topper like this can also be created on a Live Christmas Tree. We recommend tying Chenille Stems or Zip Ties around the trunk of the Tree a few branches down from the top. The stems will need to be fed through the loop to help give the Tree Topper more structure and support when placing them on a Live tree. 

 

  • Susan started this Tree Topper by adding the first Snowflake Stem to the very top of the Tree. She fed this down through the branches of the Tree using the Chenille Stems that she tied around the trunk as support for the first few stems. 
  • Next she added both of the 37" Pink & White Plush Swirl and Candies Spray to the top of the tree. These she also placed in the very top and she fed them through the Chenille Stems that are around the trunk of the tree. 

  • Susan then added both colors of the Glitter Twig Sprays. She spread these out so that they would be dispersed throughout the Topper as evenly as possible. 

  • Then Susan added the two Pink & White Sprinkle Lollipops. She placed one on either side of the Topper. At this point in building the Topper, the branches of the Tree and the Stems are supporting each other. We did not try to feed every Stem through the Chenille Stems that were around the trunk. Susan only used that in the beginning to help support the first few Stems. 

  • Susan then added the Pink Sprinkle Poinsettia and the Blue Sprinkle Poinsettia to either side of the Topper at the base. Make sure to fluff and spread out the leaves of your Poinsettia stems before adding them to the Tree. 

  • Next Susan added the Pink & Mint Green Mesh Spiral Sprays and also the Pink & Mint Green Frizzy Curly Sprays to the Topper. 

  • This would be a great stopping point in the Tree Topper if you are only looking to have stems in your Tree Topper and not add any ribbon. At Ellis things aren't done until they're over done, so we had to add ribbon to our Tree Topper.  Susan tied two 4 loop Bows for the Tree Topper using the Pink Confetti Ribbon and the Light Gold Net Ribbon. She used the other two rolls of ribbon to create long tails that were looped down the side of the Tree. She secured the Bow with a Chenille Stem and then used that same Chenille Stem to attach the Bow to the top of the Tree at the base of all of the Stems.

  • Susan then added in the Champagne Willow Sprays into the Tree Topper. She spread these out throughout the Topper as she added them. 

  • To finish off this Tree Topper Susan added the last two small Pink & White Swirl Lollipop Stems to the Tree. 

  • Once all of the Florals and Bows had been added we had a stunning Tree Topper for our Sprinkle Candy Christmas Tree. We hope that you will comeback next week as we complete the body of the Christmas Tree to complete this theme. The Pastel Candy Sprinkle theme is newer for our stores this year and we are in love with it.
