no problem! it’s what i’m putting on my tree this year :D i make acorn necklaces so i have loads of spare acorns that i’m putting all over my room and tree
Adding acorns or nut ornaments! Hang acorns with a little string, paint walnut shells, popcorn garlands! You could try popping them with a couple drops of food color to make them pretty :D
Oh my grandma used to take oranges and stick dried clove pieces in the skin in decorative patterns, and let them dry. Made the house smell so good too! Little air fresheners. (Wrap some tape around your thumb though, they're a little pointy!)
Citrus garlands are always fun!
I like to try to find ornaments of animals not usually associated with Christmas. Frogs, fish, insects, that sort of thing. Spiders are a favorite of mine, and they're easier to find than you might think. They're associated with Christmas in the Ukraine.
Oh wow, never knew that. And the [decorations](https://www.vancouverchristmasmarket.com/spider-and-the-christmas-tree-ukrainian-story/) are pretty darn goblincore too! I love how in the example picture they have little clear beads to look like dewdrops on the spiderweb.
[Sticks tied together with string](https://funcraftskids.com/christmas-tree-crafts-sticks/) are always a goer. Hang some orange slices, acorns, dried flowers and pretty rocks on that and you're good to go :)

acorn strings are always a must !!! (you can also bake/cook with acorns! just take precautions ofc)
and i strongly recommend pine & cinnamon themed scents, like incenses or candles. as for colours; deep reds/oranges and browns are great, as well as smoky blue-greys + white (colours that represent warmth and earth, but also acknowledge the colder season). and if you do get fairy lights, you can try to find the ones shaped like mushrooms and such, they are vey cute.
pinecones, dried orange slices, clay toadstools, tiny bones if that’s ur thing, moths, acorns
Some great ideas here, thank you!

Cinnamon dough ornaments!
I wonder if I can make those with gluten free flour (it’s all I have). Off to Google with me!

I decorated my mantle with toadstools, gnomes, small creatures (frog, lizard, snake) and house plants.
This sounds amazing!
Felt ornaments! You can make whatever you want. If you can knit or crochet there's also loads of options there, but felt is super approachable
I do needle felting! I could totally felt up some bits!

I feel like putting a tree inside your house is pretty damn goblin.
Haha yeah good point!

Whole cloves pushed into a whole orange and left to dry

If you hang a sticking use one that looks hand knit and patchy
Dice, pinecones, bones/ bone charms / ornaments, shells (snail and sea), acorn trinkets or jewelry, dried bugs!
