Ombre’s\u00a0popularity has surged in the past few years\u00a0appearing in hairstyles, on the runway, home decor and now to your christmas tree. This\u00a0technique adds gradual color to, from light to dark. Ombre is\u00a0a perfectly imperfect art form, so don’t worry about messing up!<\/span>
\n\"ombre
\nThe word ombre\u00a0is derived from the French word\u00a0ombrer<\/em>\u00a0which means to shade. The definition is\u00a0having colors that shade into each other \u2013 used especially of fabrics in which the color is graduated from light to dark. Since there is no right or wrong way to ombre, you can choose any colors or items to create this technique as long as the final result is that of gradual shading.\u00a0<\/span>
\nNow you can choose one color and it’s shades to gradually place down the tree like, the Better Homes & Gardens Special Edition of Christmas Ideas<\/a><\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0where they used nine different shades of red from light pink to magenta, red to burgundy.<\/span>

\nThis became the inspiration for my tree this year! Although, I didn’t want to go out and spend a lot of money buying new decorations for this technique. So, the first thing I did was accessed my current decor to determine what colors to use. My tree is usually covered in golds and silvers so I took a cue from those colors and chose the three main colors I’d use: white, silver and gold. Now, I know those are three separate colors, but<\/span> watch how I gradually blended them together to create the ombre effect.<\/a><\/span>
