Here's my 2012 Handmade Christmas Tree vignette. It's peaceful, it's neutral and little woodland creatures are hiding in there...My kind of decorations! Many of the trees were used in last year's vignette, but I also added six more. Is there such thing as having too many trees?

I was thinking about adding some fake snow, but went with the burlap instead. Still thinking about the snow though...
I'm a sucker for these little buri animal ornaments. I just cut off the hanger. I also bought a rabbit, but it was bigger than the deer, so it didn't make the cut. I'm heading back to the store to pick up a bear and raccoon.
buri animal ornaments from Macys. West Elm also carries something similar.
Tutorials available for everything shown (except the buri animals of course!)

Wow, your tree collection is incredible! And I can't believe you made them all! They really are gorgeous. Plus, those little woodland creatures are too cute for words! Thanks for sharing the inspiration with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria! I ended up buying 4 more woodland creatures to hang on our tree. I'm smitten!
DeleteBeautiful trees! Love how they all look different, all the details are beautiful! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove your works,congrats, Julia C. from BsAs Arg.
ReplyDeleteThank you Julia!
DeleteI love all your trees. I made many last year and kept none. This year I made many waterless snow globes and kept none. I loved both!!! Maybe next summer ill start on my white forest?! I love the creatures just a few roaming through your forest...looks so lovely. Then I saw your adult mantel and that's amazing!! I had a nutcracker I was going to spray when you first posted this--it looks so sophisticated all painted one color--but I got Mr Nutcracker home from Walgreens and well he looked so important in his regal hair and cape and boots--I just could not give him a makeover. But yours oh my looks so wonderful. Like in a magazine!! So proud you took your fellas to the spa as it was a nice makeover!!!

Hi Melanie!
ReplyDeleteThese trees are so lovely! They look so pretty clustered together, and I love that they are all different! The burlap and the shell are my faves! It would be awesome if you would link these up to my Blissful Whites Wednesday linky party!
Hope your holidays are fabulous!
