Oh my! I've always only had one tree in the house. Now I want about 30!!!
The necktie tree would be a nice thing to do with someone's ties from a family member. My uncle had millions of ties that we just got rid of. DH use to have lots of ties too. This would have been a good idea as a Christmas gift for his kids. Too bad we no longer have the ties. Darn!!!
I first heard about the Jeweled Christmas tree in the 1970s but had never seen one. I've always wanted to make these. Now that I've seen it I'll try it. At the time it was made by cutting a board into a tree shape, drilling holes for the lights. Then covering it with velvet and the old jewelry was glued on around the lights. Another great idea for old family jewelery.
I loved the book ones. They were all creative and distinctive, however! I should have so much talent and imagination!! Who knows? I might try to improvise on one of these. :rotflol:
Wow, loved these trees, some because they were beautiful, some because they were strange. I enjoyed seeing the toothpick tree. I made one just like it when I was in high school. I think I used pink snow on mine, though. - Gail
Holy cow, that is a lot of trees, some I like and some I don't. If the Mt. Dew christmas tree was unopened cans, my husband would love that one! Lol. he loves mt. dew. Although I guess we would have a lopsided, holey tree after awhile!! :hat:
