Time to trim the tree

As I mentioned before , with two dogs and a baby crawling around the house this year I thought it might be smart to get a smaller tree and set it up out of reach on a table.

This is the tree , kinda looks like Charlie Brown's scraggly little tree doesn't it ?All it really needs is some love and a big fluffy topper made with yards of Dollar store ribbon.
Tuck the ribbon all around and add some dried hydrangea . I spray painted some of the hydrangeas with pink and white to add more color.

I added a few of the cones I made.

I made five of them and only used three of them on he tree, just wasn't room for more.

Stuck in a birds nest.

There is a Swedish legend that states that if you find a birds nest in your Christmas tree , you'll have a year of health , wealth and happiness. I'm not Swedish ' but I like the sound of that !

Then I hung some wispy snow flakes and icicles.

And wraped some toile around the bottom to hide

the skinny little stem.

There all done !

Now all it needs is some gifts under it.

And a visit from Santa !

Happy Shopping !
