Homemade Christmas Fun: A Simple ‘Tree’

You may remember the wool entwined branch from our Spring nature table? At the time that I made it, I thought that the concept may also work as a Christmas table centrepiece. So I tried again, this time with white wool, and I love the result.

I can imagine small wrapped gifts sitting under this ‘tree,’ you know, jewellry sized ones! In my dreams 🙂

Now if only the rest of Christmas was as simple as this tree…

    That is so fantastic. Really helps bring some simplicity to the chaos that is Christmas.

    thank you so much for this fabulous idea. I just may have to do for myself.
    I have also shared on my whimsical parasol blog.

    I hope there is at least one small jewel box under that beautiful tree.

    How beautiful, yet simple, is that. P'haps a small item of jewellery on your family Christmas wish list. Just a thought.

    Like a breath of fresh air in defiance of tinsel torture! Love it, especially with your lovely, lush green wall.

    This is gorgeous Christie. Looks like it's from a page in a magazine.

    Very sweet little tree. Thanks for sharing your lovely idea.
    Also, what great giveaways you have listed in your recent posts. I have not signed up to enter, as we live in the USA and my sons are now nearly 5 and 7, but what cool presents the various giveaway items will be for some lucky families with little ones. Great giveaway items.
    As always, I love your blog.
