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.

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.

Hehehe... I've been doing a "stick" tree for years! You know me and sticks. I can't help myself :-)
