25 Days of Christmas 2012 - Day 12


Day 12: Wire Trees 

Today I have a couple fun project ideas to share with you using our decorative wire trees. These pieces come as just the black wire base, but can easily be altered to create a great decor piece for your home.

For the first tree we added a little color and sparkle to the tree by using Glitter Blast spray paint - for the tree we used a green color and then the star a yellow. Then we simply added a few glitter dot embellishments to the tree and a ribbon around the trunk. We added a few photos to this sample, but it could also be used as a Christmas card holder as well.


For the second sample project we put together we actually used the base of the tree to create an advent countdown calendar. Using pattern paper, number stickers, and glass marbles we made magnets with the numbers 1-12 on them. Then we just wrote some daily activities or events on pieces of pattern paper and placed them on the tree using the magnets. Such a fun way to countdown to Christmas!
