I've shown you how I made this Pottery Barn inspired wreath here and the link for the sign is up above so today I'm going to show you how I made the tree. This tree was inspired by the tomato cage project I spied on pinterest. Since I didn't have a tomato cage {and wasn't really sure what one was} I decided to use this decorative garden thing I had above my kitchen cabinets. You could use this same process with a tomato cage {I wouldn't recommend a dog cage ;)}
Take a garland of Christmas greens and starting at the top, wind your way down.
Fluff out all of the greens and string with lights. For the base I found a white planter on clearance at Meijers. I really wanted something black so I spray painted it with some chalkboard paint I had on hand. (I didn't want a glossy finish so this turned out perfectly). Fill your planter with rocks for some added weight.
My boys had fun searching for these |
Put your tree frame into your planter. I had to work with mine as the frame was slightly larger than the planter. This gave me some resistance as I had to bend the legs in slightly to get it to fit, but now its not going anywhere!
For His glory!

ReplyDeleteHi, I'm new to your blogger. The little tree idea is super adorable. I'm going to have to steal, beg or borrow that idea for next year.
