Also, notice the framed picture of the footprint Rudolph to the left, that is my grand daughter's and my first craft together, she was only 2 months old, what a sweet, tiny foot. This was a surprise for Mommy and Daddy.
Designer tree ready for the show....
See story of how it was made.
The vintage button snow flakes I made for the sale....
For the Christmas show I wanted a really cool designer-like tree, but not the price-tag, so I began messing with this old 6 foot tree I've had for years, from the $ General store. First, I thought I'd see if I could bleach it, to make it a little different looking, well it didn't bleach, but it did make the metal parts rusty. So, I decided I would give it an extreme trim, so the ornaments, we are selling, would stand out. I trimmed all the needles down to the nubs. It took awhile and I first thought I might just have some branches to stick in the washtub, but you know us junkers we are nothing if not determined, or stubborn.
Some of the keyboard and snowflake ornaments for the show...
After the extreme trim, I ran crystals and lights up the middle with crystals on most of the branches.I put the lights on where it can still be taken apart and put back together easily.
After the show in my T.V. room
Got Present??? Not so subtle subliminal message. Ho Ho Ho...
topper just old rusty wires, word cards, and Christmas balls with more crystals, of course.
