Christmas Decorations
Charlie Brown Christmas Trees
I know it seems a little early in the season to be discussing Christmas decorations. Yesterday the weather was perfect for spending time outside and gathering nature's donations for my Christmas decorating projects.
We live in Ohio and it's been unusually warm and sunny for November, so we were outside taking advantage of it. Some people were putting holiday lights outside, I know, it's not even Thanksgiving yet! They're playing it smart by beating the cold weather. I'm sure they'll be laughing at everyone else that's out in the freezing temperatures putting Christmas decorations on their houses. I decided to do a little "outside shopping" for Christmas decorations. We went to our favorite park for a picnic lunch and treasure hunting. We found branches to make a couple Charlie Brown Christmas trees and two bags full of pine cones. I need a lot of pinecones to fill canning jars and a huge hurricane vase I have. I also want to use pinecones to decorate pedestal cake plates and a centerpiece for our Christmas Eve buffet. The craft store had small assorted bags of pine cones for $4, little pricey in my opinion when it takes no time to pick them up off the ground. We also cut ivy to make topiaries. If you like leaves on your holiday trees instead of Charlie Brown trees, take a look at the ivy and eucalyptus topiaries I made. The Charlie Brown Christmas trees are easy and cost very little to make. I started with two tree branches we found on the ground. I do crafty stuff all the time so all I had to buy was a can of snow for $1.79. I spray painted the larger tree branch black and decorated it with snow. The smaller tree branch I spray painted white and decorated it with bread dough ornaments our daughter and I made.........seems like centuries ago. I attached both branches to a piece of board and wrapped them with burlap. I tied the burlap to the tree with twine.
