Decide whether you want to use a real or artificial Christmas tree - either is fine.
Also decide whether you want to have a traditional green Christmas tree, a white flocked Christmas tree, or a pink Christmas tree.
Color Scheme
Decide on a color scheme for your ballet Christmas tree.
The obvious choice is powder pink, but you can use whatever color scheme you like.
If you decide to use pink as your color scheme, consider adding a few other elements to make it interesting - such as metallic colors, white, crystals, a touch of black, and pinks of various shades.
Christmas Ornaments
Start collecting Christmas ornaments and decorations that remind you of ballet.
You can use ballet shoes (ornaments or real shoes), ballet dancer figurines, feathers, mirrored ornaments, shiny pink ribbon, metallic ornaments, glittered ornaments, flowers, snowflakes, pearls, swans, nutcrackers, tiaras, or whatever is reminiscent of ballet.
You can make your ballet Christmas ornaments tell a story of your progression with ballet with your ballet shoes that you wore as a small child towards the top of the Christmas tree and your more current ballet shoes towards the bottom.
Christmas Tree Topper
Your ballet Christmas tree topper can be anything you desire.
You can use a collection of ballet slippers, an angel wearing a tutu, a star, a photo cutout of yourself doing a ballet pose, or whatever reminds you of ballet.
Christmas Tree Skirt
You can purchase a color coordinating Christmas tree skirt or you can make one out of tulle to resemble a ballet skirt.
