Project Day In The Studio


Thanks for all the Birthday wishes and nice comments.
As I said previously I wanted to work on putting some little Christmas trees on top of vintage thread spools. I have seen some on different blogs and wanted to do my version.

                                                    

Not all of them are decorated with their bows yet but just had to show them off. It was nice to have a morning at home to play, I added a burlap piece to this spool them added the burlap bowl I found at Target in the dollar bends

                                        

The glue still shows wet on a couple like the spice jar below, It still needs it's bow also, all the little trees are about 3 inches tall . I added some little glass beads in bottom of this jar 

I will add a bow to this one also, I added those little silver balls you decorate cookies with on this tree with silver around the spool, I cut a piece of glitter ribbon around this spool


I'll add a red glitter bow to this one since I sprinkled red glitter on the tree this is one of the thread spools I painted white 

I just love this old cocoa tin I bet I have had it several years and love the little tree I glued to it's top nothing else needed on this one

Which one do you like best?

    My favorites are the trees with the vintage looking ball ornaments on them. Very clever using those silver baking decorations! I might have to try that, I have a few bottle brush trees I've been meaning to decorate!

    Oh I love them all. It is always hard for me to choose because I like how many people make the same thing and it looks different but similar. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    Hi,
    I absolutely adore these trees. What great ideas for bases. It opens up all sorts of avenues to explore. I have been collecting all sorts of bottle brush and wire trees. Can't wait to decorate my fireplace with them.
    Great Blog...

    Good Morning Janice, those little trees are adorable. My favorite are the ones with the sheet music spools. I have a little box of spools, thanks for the idea. Happy Birthday and congratulations on winning Carol's give away. That is going to be a fun project to do. I hope that you will post your finished pillow:)
    Happy Thanksgiving.

    Hi! Well a belated happy birthday to you! Your trees are precious with the spools! I recently lost my job so have a little time to play before I head to seriously get back to the work force. I am trying to make napkin rings from paper towel tubes. I am not sure what fabric is going to work! I love burlap but the cardboard may be too thin to hold it. Any advice? I found you at LaVoice's today and always try to visit a new blogger to me. So hello and enjoy your day. Love, love, love those crafty trees! Blessings, Annr

    I love your trees. I am going to do some now in prim style ( browns, greys, drab ugly colors ha ). I cancelled all my blog reading memberships and rejoined the ones who are still blogging and are good....so you'll see me as a new follower but of course I am not. I think my blog has about 5 people who actually read it..you have over 500..what is your secret? Marshel in Alabama
