This is a very clever and cute decorating idea that a friend of mine uses every Christmas to top off her tree. It’s a whimsical touch that won’t go unnoticed by your family and friends.
She takes a dove (I also think a Cardinal would be just as lovely) and hangs it from the ceiling with fishing line. She then hot glues the end of a strand of pearls or beads to either its beak or feet, and then does the same thing with the other end of the strand with another dove. This make it look like the doves are flying in with the final decorating touches. If you don’t use beads on your tree, you could do the same with garland or a light Christmas ornament.
It’s a very simple and inexpensive way to add a little something special to your Christmas tree. And the kids really get a kick out of it.
