Black and White by Tiffany Brooks

"It has to be black-and-white for a tabletop tree. I'm talking black and white patterns, silhouettes, and gem-shaped black-and-white ornaments. I promise it's stunning!"—Tiffany Brooks, HGTV Smart Home 2014

Paint unfinished wood ornaments with white acrylic paint. Outline a silhouette clip art image (find them online) with a heavy pencil line. Flip the paper over and rub to transfer the pencil outline onto the wood. Fill in the silhouette with a black marker.

"I'm mildly obsessed with Hawaii and the beach, hence this seaside tabletop tree. The garland’s made of knotted rope—very nautical!—and the ornaments are painted starfish and shells."—Sabrina Soto, The High Low Project

Make your own snowflakes, or buy a snowflake-like garland and separate the individual flakes from the string. Cut a photo or black-and-white copy of a photo into a circle, hot-glue to a circle of red paper, then hot-glue to the snowflake's center.
