Christmas is a coming.....

I find myself surrounded by Christmas trees.................



Pretty ones of course!

I have been busy creating these cute shabby chic style trees, each one has its own uniqueness...........

I wanted to share with you a really inexpensive way you can display these beautiful trees........

From the dollar store I purchased the round mirror, $1 of course, they also come in different shapes if you prefer. It measures around 5 inches diameter and was a perfect size for my 4 inch trees.......................The glass cover was a find at the thrift shop for 25 cents, but also at the dollar store or Walmart you can buy glass vases of a similar shape for less than a dollar. Just make sure its tall and wide enough to fit over the tree.....


Another idea is to buy one of these great jars from the craft store, this one was 75 cents, originally $1 but I had a 25% off coupon..........Simply glue the tree to the inside bottom, add a little mica and glitter to the bottom for a snowy effect if you like, then close the lid and attach a hand made Merry Christmas label...........voila! So cute!


Does anybody have any other ideas?

    I am so glad to see you here in Blogland. I probably need to order some items for my Spring craft stuff. I did not know you kept up with a blog with everything else you do. Your items are wonderful. I will be by to visit!
