Hurray! Finally a moment to pull some Christmas decorations out of the attic! The tree is assembled (yes, my husband firmly believes in the artificial, renewable, reusable and recycled from year to year tree), but it has yet to don the sparkles of Christmas. So in order to soak in some Christmas cheer, I'm sitting in the living room, enjoying our two smaller trees. Daylight illuminates the living room of our little bungalow through two bay window, but during the holidays at night, the windows each twinkle with their own mini Christmas tree!
Thinking ahead last year, these came perfectly out of the attic this year with lights, tinsel and sparkles ready to plug in! (Finally, something simple!) When I find another spurt of decorating energy, I'm off to find the homemade Plexiglas ornaments that adorned them last year.
My husband designed the snowflakes using CAD, cut them with a laser cutter, then spray painted them with a silvery metallic paint. I tied them with red ribbon, then hung them all over these trees. They added a homemade Christmas touch to the room, and everyone who came to our Open House Party last year got to take one home with them!
