Quirky Decorating!

Being in the recycling and junk perfecting business we accumulate a lot of found objects in hope that someday we will have an idea of how to use them creatively. The above picture is the results of one of those creative thought moments. We have a nice collection of rusty aged vintage Christmas tree stands which just happen to be perfectly sized from big to little. I decided the perfect use for this group was to stack them and create a tree. A Christmas tree made from Christmas tree stands! A little rustic and a little quirky, but that is what makes it fun, and I know for a fact if I would have tried to collect the stands in the perfect size to create this, it would have taken forever. Sometimes the unplanned is the most fun!

Wrap some white lights around it and there you go!

That is a very creative idea. I agree about how the unplanned things just come together sometimes and are the best. See you soon.

I love it, and what better things to make a Christmas tree out of than rusty, old Christmas tree stands!

Take care, Sue

So true - if you'd been intentional about finding the right sizes, it would have taken forever! I'm going to go check the ones I have. I've used them for candle holders before...
