Twine’ified Christmas Tree
craft | decorating | diy
While at Dollar Tree the other day, picking up my wreath form to make my corny wreath, I came across these shiny Christmas trees. They are a little too contemporary for my taste, but I liked the size and shape… so I grabbed two.
I’d seen these trees at Target and thought I could easily transform these shiny trees into a twine’ifed creation.
A glue gun and some twine to start.
I spaced the twine so a bit of the shimmer shined on through. Once the whole tree was covered in twine I took some green acrylic paint and dabbed it on till I got the shade I desired.
I love the bit of shimmer, yet it’s got a rustic feel ~ Comfy glam!
Update… I’m joining The Shabby Nest’s Frugal Friday Party &
Hookin’ up with Funky Junk’s Saturday Nite Special…
I saw these at the dollar store and kept going because they are too "flashy" for my taste – now I have to go back and get some!!
Oh I really like this DIY, great job!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog last week.
Oh… that is really neat! Love how earthy it is yet at the same time kinda glitzy. Great idea!
Thanks for linking up to SNS #6!

Amazing transformation…very clever!
I love it! Great idea!
I bought those, too! I have an idea, but it may but work- if it doesnt I shall copy yours! lol
This is so cute! Love it.
I like the way you toned down the glitter with the twine.
I've been busy making a few holiday trees too. A couple Charlie Brown trees and eucalyptus and ivy topiary.
Great idea! I actually picked up one of those trees last time I was there-but I never thought of redoing it. Might have to make another trip there soon!
That is so cute! I was just at the dollar store yesterday and saw those same mirrored trees. I also thought they were a bit too blingy for my taste. I love them with the twine though! Great job
wow- very very cute! What a great idea!
Very cute – I love them.
way cuteness!!!!!!
Those are fun!
Very neat idea! Love how you let some shimmer shine through! Too cute!
Great idea! From disco ball to charmingly rustic!
Loved the wreath, and what a great transformation of the dollar tree trees!

HA…I just saw those exact same trees at our Dollar Store and thought…"Not my style!" and walked on by. Kicking myself now!
Too cute!
Oh, my gosh. So cute and creative.
Awesome!! You are very creative.
Have a wonderful day!!
Oooh,…YAY!! New project. Thanks for enlightening us!
So cute! I think I'll get a couple for myself.
I love a woman with vision. I would so never have bought the shiny ones, but now that I see them old twined up I wish we had your dollar store.
good job!
Very cute! Must check out the Dollar store!
