Oh! {handmade} Christmas Tree!

...so this is Christmas...
Every year i make a different christmas tree! You know... i get bored very easily!
The last 3 years i make christmas trees out of cardboard! Recycling is my favourite game!!!
This time i decided to recycle a different material.....a plant!!! There is one little guy on my balcony, that could't make it through this crazy weather! So i decided to honor my poor jasmin tree and make a christmas tree, out of it!

 

I collected the thicker branches and painted them white. Then i tied all the ends together and wrapped them around with a rainbow yarn. I attached them on an empty liquer bottle, which was also painted in white spray paint and continued wrapping...and wrapping... 
Then i thought that wrapping wasn't enough so i did a little bit more on the branches!
Used the same yarn to make some pon pons, some tiny christmas lights and
...ta taaaaa!!!!!  Brand new Christmas Tree!!!

 

I placed two little fabric christmas trees (which i made last year), a huge acorn and my MOST favourite christmas guy next to it, to keep some company...


 Then i thought they might want to do something together while we are sleeping...
so i gave them a music carousel with playful toy horses, some books to read, my favourite wooden top and this amazing Wonderland Deer from ILaBoom!
 I love the way they all look together!!!


Have a Wonderful Christmas Everyone!!!!
