Trees, Trees, Trees galore!

My weekly link parties have been flooded with tons of awesome Christmas crafts, most of which are TREES! I thought it would be fun to do a few separate round-up posts of all things Christmas, starting with all things TREE.

Here are several Tree crafts from Hookin’ Up with HoH #76 & #77.

(If you posted a tree and didn’t get featured, it’s probably because I overlooked your post accidentally. The BEST way to make sure you get featured in these random extra round-up posts is to make sure in the linky party you name your thumbnail exactly what your item is. For example, if you made a feather boa tree, name it “Feather boa Tree” or “Feather Tree” or even “Fluffy Tree”. Don’t name it “fluffy cuteness”. I search for keywords when I put these features together, so for this one I searched for the word “tree”. Name your links appropriately and you have a better chance of getting featured!)

Hey friends!

Today I’m {finally} going to show you my 3rd and final Christmas Tree I made from terra cotta pots.

This is the first one I showed you guys almost 3 weeks ago:

And then a week later I showed you my favorite of the three – the silver Christmas Tree.

Here are one and two together:

The final tree I made is a pot larger than the other two.

I just used an additional larger pot on the bottom to make it stand taller.

(For complete instructions on how to make these pots, click HERE.)

I wanted a fun tree that my kids could enjoy, so I used pom pom balls as the “ornaments” on it.

I found the cutest pom pom balls at Hobby Lobby in a big package with a variety of sizes. I love that they are sparkly.

Kinsey had a blast helping me glue them on. I just added blobs of hot glue to the pots and then she stuck the pom poms on.

For the topper, I used some of my 1 1/2″ grosgrain ribbon from RABOM to make a bow.

I tied a bow and glued it to the top of the pot and then glued a big pom pom ball in the middle.

This tree has had several homes over the past month. I couldn’t make up my mind where to put it.

It sat on the bar by my sink for a few weeks.

I actually really liked it on the bar, but I ended up moving it to make room for a few other Christmas decorations (and my new Scentsy jar).

In the end it finally found a permanent home (until after Christmas at least!) next to my piano in my newly renovated piano room.

So there you go! It only took me a good three weeks to get all three posted (even though I made them all the same day!) but better late than never, right?!

If you’ve made a terra cotta Christmas tree (or any other craft for that matter!) I’d love for you to send me your link or pictures so I can feature you in my Share.Inspire.Create. post each month.

Also, here are the links again to my First tree (the green one) and Second tree (the silver one) just in case you want to see them again.

I’m on a mission to post ALL my Christmas crafts and “stuff” before we actually have Christmas, so bear with me the next week as I get these last-minute Christmas posts cranked out. I love Christmas and all the decor, but I’m excited for January so I can start posting about regular stuff again.

Happy Holidays, my friends!

We love our family tradition of driving to Elgin, TX to chop down our own live Christmas Tree!

As with any plant though, sometimes it needs to be trimmed a little.

Do you think it looked this perfect on it’s own?

We had some branches on the bottom of the tree that were hanging too low and wonky, so I literally

{Trimmed The Tree}

(Did you get as much of a kick out of my pun as I did?)

I took a pair of scissors, snipped a bunch of branches off the bottom, and was left with several branches that smelled wonderful and were very green. I just couldn’t bare to chuck them in the trash.

I put the biggest branches in a glass vase with some water.

(As a side-note, the snowflake is a metal trivet that I leaned up on it’s side.)

For the rest of the branches, I just had small little snippets of pine leftover that were too small to put in a large vase.

I have these cute little votives from last year that I scored at Walgreens (they have the best small nick-nack Holiday decor for cheap!).

I’d been debating how to use these votives this year and I just love thinking outside the box and using them as mini vases instead of candle holders.

Aren’t they just adorable?

I put them in front of the TV on the entertainment center. They are the perfect mini size and don’t block the view of the TV.

The votives are glass and hold water, so the trimmings have stayed nice and fresh so far and they give off a great scent!

Just another way to decorate for free! Use stuff you already have (vases and votives). And also, you can never go wrong with fresh plants.

Have a happy holiday, peeps!
