How to Do a Nautical-Themed Christmas Tree

    • 1). Set the Christmas tree up and string your lights throughout the tree. Check your lights for burned out bulbs and replace them with new ones.

    • 2). Hang small round life preserver ornaments on various branches. Mark your life preservers with name of your boat or your family surname, or label each life preserver with the name of a family member and place a picture of the person in the center of the opening.

    • 3). Add miniature lighthouses to the tree. If your lighthouses have battery-operated lights, place them where you can easily reach them when you want them lit.

    • 4). Place your small ships on the tree next. Hang them in trios to represent the lyrics of "I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In." As with the lighthouses, place those with blinking lights where you can easily turn them on and off.

    • 5). Paint glass Christmas balls with nautical items such as the captain's wheel, anchors, fish or scenes on the sea or beach. Use colored sand mixed with glitter to color the outside of other balls. Roll the balls in thin solutions of white glue before you roll them in the sand and glitter. Gently shake off the excess and allow them to dry before adding the hangers and placing them on the tree.

    • 6). Top your tree with a lighthouse, angel mermaid or other nautical tree topper.

    • 7). Add a tree skirt to the base of the tree. Use one with a beach scene or an aquatic one. Place larger items such as ships, lighthouses and shells on the skirt to continue your nautical theme beneath the tree.
