Primitive Christmas tree ornaments and decoration are characterized with simplicity and their most characteristic feature is that they are handmade. In this style there are no color or other restrictions but, typically, primitive Christmas trees do not feature multi-colored ornaments. The color concept is restrained to natural colors, traditional green and red, white, sometimes blue. Decorating such trees means that you do not necessarily buy the decorations or if you buy them, they should be made of natural materials or fabric – wood, pine cones, berries, conifer branches, etc. – and the ornaments are environmentally friendly. The fans of the true primitive style are aware that artificial trees are not an option. The Christmas trees should be living and as an option one can choose a simple pallet Christmas tree.
