You won't find chubby, smiling snowmen or basic baubles on Christine McConnell's Christmas tree. Rather, the confectioner behind Netflix's gothic baking show The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell [1] prefers to decorate her balsam fir with spooky ornaments she made by hand. Did you expect anything less from the crafty genius?
The 37-year-old star made our Halloween-obsessed hearts [2] soar when she shared a peek at her DIY tree decorations [3] for this year, including a Santa hat-adorned skull, a creepy red spider, and a sparkly bat tree topper that's way cooler than any basic star or angel we've ever seen. Her tree was flanked by a sinister Siamese cat lamp with glowing eyes and one of her shiny spiders, which clung to the adjacent wall. "I tried something new by making a bunch of nonedible ornaments this year," Christine wrote while sharing a few gorgeous photos of her masterpieces on Facebook. "It was so much fun, I might make some more to give as presents!" What a sweet idea!
Keep reading to feel inspired by the queen of Halloween [4]'s spooky-glam Christmas decorations, and you just might want to copy a few of her ideas for your own tree this year. Pssst, Netflix: can you make a Christmas special about these? Perhaps The Festive Creations of Christine McConnell? It's what the people want.
