DIY Christmas Tree
I decided that this year I really wanted a tree! We’ve never had one before as a couple…and we always assumed that every Christmas we’ll spend it at our parents place (they have their own tree). But I didn’t want a fake tree…and I didn’t want to chop a tree down either…so what were my other options? A friend suggested the old tree branch idea and I was sold!
The very next day I went hunting for my dead branch and found a huge pile of chopped up branches on the verge. I’m sure people who saw me scavenging around the wood pile must have thought I was a loony!
I also picked up some pinecones and gum nuts and sprayed them all white with a $2 spray can from Bunnings.
For my tree ornaments, I hung up some baby pinecones with bakers twine. The rest of the ornaments are vintage treasures or gifts given to me.
I found a red flower pot in my father-in-law’s shed and filled it up with sand. Then I decorated the pot with more pinecones, gum nuts and tinsels.
So there you have it…my first ever DIY Christmas tree! What do you think? Hehe

I think it’s a perfect little tree. Oops! I see that’s exactly what Penny said.
Never mind, it is x
