Christmas Tree 2013

This year we are spending Christmas at home and on a budget so we decided to make our Christmas Tree from an old packing box.

We are big Minecraft players in this house so the boys have grand ideas of Minecraft "block" embellishments.. those are still in the planning and making stage.. here is our progress so far.


Cardboard base


Wrapped/Covered in Christmas Paper


Strips of tissue paper glued on top (similar to a pinata covering)



Close up of the tissue paper



Next stage is the LED lights installed from behind into holes pushed through



installed on top of our Pot Belly Stove .. awaiting the embellishment decorations


The lights have several phases and sparkle just great!
