Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a tree! Ahh…but what kind of tree?! Here are just a few options for tweaking yours this year-
Idea #1: Tinker Toy Tree
Raid your child’s toy box for some tinker toys and create this fun tabletop tree!
Idea #2: Antique Clothes Dryer Tree
Matthew Mead took an ordinary antique clothes dryer and made a one of kind tree.
Idea #3: Charlie Brown’s Tree
“All it needs is a little love, Charlie Brown.” Take a cue from Linus- Find a simple pine branch to place in a glass container.
Idea #4: Hanging Pine Branch
Another way of using a pine tree branch- Affix it to the wall with picture hooks and twin found at craft stores. Then add some ornaments using ribbon ties.
Idea #5: Topiary Bay Tree
A traditional tree wouldn’t do for designer Christian Tortu! He artfully inserted fir boughs into a large topiary bay tree
and filled the clay container with oranges!
Idea #6: A Tree Painted Red
Three cans of red spray paint + one dead pine = a totally fun tree!
Idea #7: Cast Iron Tree Stand
Forget the Christmas tree! Instead use its cast iron stand for a beautiful orchid.
