Bowling Christmas Tree Tote Bag Red Bowling Balls Pins Star Presents Bowler

One white pin stands at the very top of this tree, and a gold star rests right on its head where a bulb or an angel would usually go. Beneath it, red bowling balls take the place of ornaments, stacked in staggered rows between pins that tilt outward like branches. Strings of gold beads loop across the whole shape, with small bells and sprigs of holly tucked between the balls. Candy canes hang off a few of the pins. The star is the giveaway, and the bowling shows up everywhere else all at once.

A Bowling Christmas Tree Tote Bag With a Star on the Head Pin

Our bowling Christmas tree tote bag is made for the bowler who already owns the ball and the shoes and keeps a spot by the door for the gear between league nights. It gives that person a way to carry the season along to the lanes, a holiday potluck, or a relative’s house with presents in hand. The red balls and striped white pins keep the tree easy to recognize for anyone who has ever stared down a rack at the end of a lane, so a teammate will spot it from across the room.

Snow, Wrapped Presents, and One Very Festive Rack of Pins

Down at the base, snow gathers in a soft drift around a row of wrapped presents, some in red paper and some in green, each tied with a gold bow. Small snowflakes float through the dark space around the tree, which gives the whole design the feel of a quiet winter night outside a bowling alley with the lights still on. Snow covers the base. The tree does the rest. We drew it as an original design, so there is no team logo or league name on it, only the tree and the person who will grin at it. That makes it an easy Christmas gift for a bowler, whether the bowler in question is a husband who rolls on Tuesdays, a mom who runs the family league, or a coworker whose lane shoes live in the trunk of the car.

How long can a tree made of bowling balls and pins stay on a bowler’s shoulder after New Year’s?

Well past December, because the red balls and white pins read as a bowling design first and a holiday one second, so the tree fits a January league night as easily as a December party.

Hang it on a hook by the door and the little gold star will be the first thing to catch the light on the way out to the lanes.
