Fir trees are probably the most popular type of Christmas tree, but when you are laden with an orchard of faux apples, I think the saying goes......Make Lemonade;
or in this case,
Make an Apple Christmas Tree.
The pictures are pretty self explanatory.
I used hot glue and glued them on to cardboard and also to each other when I could. |
I used a beaded tree topper that I had on hand. I taped it to the top using tuck tape. I find it to be a lot stronger than most tapes and not as bulky as duct tape. Also somewhat festive in red! |
Cheers!
Oh I love apples and this project! Can you give the size you cut the cardboard? I'd love to make 2 of these... also that star is so pretty - did you make that as well? Can't wait to see what other "bling" you add. I'll be visiting again!

ReplyDeleteThis is ADORABLE...next time, maybe if you spray paint the cardboard RED, the bare spots won't be noticeable at all.
ReplyDeleteIt is just darling.
