Hi again! This time I will show a few cute Christmas trees with deco mesh. I had to make a few of these trees for a Christmas activity and they looked awesome as a table centerpiece.
Blue Christmas tree in deco mesh
The color palette was blue, hot pink, silver, and white. I used deco mesh in three colors (blue, pink, and white). Used silver for the top feathers and spikes. Poinsettias were pink and blue, and so does the ribbon for the top and around the tree. Every tree looks and feels different. At the end of the activity they were all raffled and went to new homes. I was pleased with the end result.
See you next time!

Redesigning a Christmas Tree
Hello! A week ago I was shopping for Christmas decorations looking for something uniquefor my office, and I found this at a major department store. (They'renot the best of pictures, but you get the idea). They cost $30 each, and have no topper. They measure about 20 inches and have ribbon and a few ornaments.
I love the deco mesh material, and had plenty at home. I decided to make my own version. I went to the dollar store, bought a tree frame with a garlandfor $4, a few 99 centsornaments, some 50 cents ribbon, some$2poinsettias,my creativeness and I came up with this.
So, what do you think? I think it came out pretty good. I took it to my office, and my boss asked me to make 10 of these to use them as table centerpieces for the Christmas Party in various colors. For my next post, I will show you the other trees I was asked to prepare.
