My compliments on pulling this off.... if I tried this, I'm 90% sure it would look like a pikey's back garden, minus the washingmachine and car wreck.

So what kind of cookies does one leave equal to this show stopper. Santa must love the creative side of the tree. Christmas is from the heart. Tradition must get a tweak every so often. Evolution. Or amendments added to The Christmas Tradition. Flexibility of the mind. Plus it always is good as a conversation starter for those open to seeing another side.

Each section is an individual snowflake. I'll just take off the ornaments and garland and store the sections with the rest of the Christmas stuff lol

Yep! This is no different than a regular fake Christmas tree. Plus we plan to save the snowflakes and use them as winter decorations in the future so they aren't going to a landfill for many many years if I have anything to do with it ;)

Same to you! Also, how we choose what we make the tree from each year depends on what material we have the most of at the time lol

Most of them are actually repurposed into our year round home decor afterwards! Other parts I keep and reuse for other projects/crafts

So far most of them I've repurposed into year round decor lol. For example the paint chips I took apart and framed for our wall and the mirror tree is now a tv stand/table!

lol yes, luckily we don't have cats or children yet, but I did get quite a few minor scrapes and cuts! I plan to turn the mirrors into mosaic art after Christmas so it was great practice.

Stephanie, I just did a tutorial video on my YouTube channel explaining in detail how to build it! We used thick metal wire inside each branch to suspend and bend them. Good Luck!

We did try to purchase them multiple times. The cashiers never charged us and when the few did try to scan them were unable to because they were considered free. We also are using them to choose our house colors so we only took colors we were considering!
