RING A TREE

Counting the days until Christmas is as easy as hanging a
wreath. A wood-bead wreath moves down the tree to mark
progress toward the holiday. The artful calendar keeps the look
natural with light wood tones, a white backdrop, and stenciled
black numbers arranged in a streamlined tree design.

FADED GLORY

Whitewashing enhances the textural advantages of the iconic

pinecone. The sleek white birch base and trunk complement

the spiky cones’ texture. Get permission before collecting

pinecones from local wooded areas. Rules at many public spaces

forbid picking up plant materials.
