Creations, Red, White & Beach Tree
Do you celebrate Flag Day and the 4th of July?
I decided it would be fun to have a red white and blue tree for the summer holidays and was doubly inspired by some of my favorite blogging friends who are having a Patriotic Friday with Tree Classics Blog Hop. Be sure to see Jen Lutz’s tree here, Shirley’s tree at Houspitality Designs here, and I’m looking forward to trees by Stacey at Poofing the Pillows on June 15, and Mary from Home is Where the Boat is on June 22
HH & I have really enjoyed a pencil tree we bought for the beach house
It is pre-lit, tall and skinny, doesn’t take up much space, and fits perfectly between the 2 sets of French doors to the porch
We enjoyed it for Christmas, with aqua ornaments and beachy things, for a Coastal Christmas Tree
Then in January it transformed into more of a winter tree with snowflakes
In February it changed completely for Valentine’s Day & Mardi Gras, “half and half” tree, since the holidays fell right next to each other on the calendar
One side decorated with pink and red, hearts and ornaments
Mardi Gras masks, beads, and ornaments on the other side
Then it turned into an Easter Egg Tree
“So, what’s next, flags?” HH asked
“Oh, that would be really cute for the summer holidays!” I exclaimed
“You know, I think it would…” he said
But it was only April and we were a little tired of it, so I put it away for a while…
Yesterday I had planned to go shopping but it started storming so I looked at what was in my red, white and blue stash… the tree was floating around in the back of my mind, and I certainly didn’t think I had enough things to decorate the tall tree…
But I did!
I had burlap blue anchor ribbon and some red & white plaid
I had lots of small flags and Uncle Sam hat picks
Red white and blue bicycles and pails
Funky flag glasses
And a cute Lady Liberty statue that I bought this year
Stars and stripes bandanas cover the tree base
A beach boy Santa and surfer nut cracker are hanging out by the tree
Happy Flag Day!
It’s a Red, White & Beach Tree!

Jenna, Your slim tree is so festive for all its holiday celebrations but especially I love it as a patriotic Red,White & Beach Tree! Your patriotic bicycle napkin rings are adorable as ornaments and I love your Lady Liberty! Happy Flag Day. ♥
I can’t wait to see your tree Mary!
What a versatile tree…you must have boxes and boxes of ornaments.
ha ha, I really don’t, I use what I have in different ways, so it might seem so…this house is small so I have to get creative! I used some of my Christmas ornaments and the bicycles are actually napkin rings
Yes, I do love your skinny tree and can used all year round. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
So cute! Love the blue and white anchor ribbon! Isn’t it fun decorating for the different holidays? I have a small tree that fits in the corner of my dinning room and the main theme is birds, but I do tuck in other items depending on the holiday. Today it will have small dollar store flags and they will stay until Labor say. Love your beach theme as well! Hmmm, that gives me an idea….maybe I should change it out to a beach tree in August! Thanks Jenna, I think I will! 🐚😉🏖
Oh Cyndi, I hope you do a beach tree, so much fun!! I got most of my decorations at Hobby Lobby at Christmas time, but there are some on Amazon…of course you can fashion your own with sea shells, and mermaids and summer stuff of course is widely available at the craft stores now…Have fun!!
Such a unique idea – love all of the themes. It must be fun for your visitors to see it change all the time!!
It’s funny, my husband loves it more than I do, he always turns it on when he gets up!!
so much fun to be able to use something most of us only do once a year!! LOVE your flag tree! perfect for the 4th and summer, take care and Happy Summer from Iowa
Thanks Melody, we have a lot of fun with this tree! It’s next transform will be Halloween!
Jenna, your skinny tree has had many lives, but this might be my favorite! I love a red, white, and blue theme! I do love the ribbon and Lady Liberty. Happy Flag Day!
Thanks Pam, we are really enjoying it!
Cute!
Jenna, the space between your doors is perfect for this little skinny tree. I love the idea of a decorated summer tree and red, white and blue would be my first choice too. My favorite ornament is the suffer dude nut cracker. Have a wonderful Father’s Day weekend…….
Thanks Emily, enjoy your family time!

How cute is your patriotic tree, Jenna!! the pencil shape is perfect for not taking up too much space, and the decorations are perfect. I love Lady Liberty, the Santa, and the surfer. Now you’re set for the 4th, too!

This patriotic tree is so fun and pretty! I love the anchor burlap, and Lady Liberty is too cute! Pinning! Thanks for sharing at the Summer Time Fun Link Party!
TAAAAA DAAAAA and you thought you didn’t have enough stuff to decorate a tree. Ya ya. It’s beautiful. It’ll last all summer. What a fun tree to have up all year long. You’re just toooo much. Can’t wait to see it decorated for Fall. Maybe a sunflower tree? Hope you and your’s have a fun and safe Memorial Day.
Thanks Sandy, and what a fabulous idea! A sunflower tree it shall be in September!
