We Continue Our Tradition Of Making Unconventional Christmas Trees And This Year We Made One From Old Mirrors (21 Pics)
My husband and I have a tradition of creating an unconventional Christmas tree every year. Do you remember our DIY Christmas tree from last year on Bored Panda? This year we used mirrors and reclaimed wood to create a futuristic-looking tree. As this decade comes to an end you can say we’ve done a lot of “reflecting”!
With the lights on in the room it’s very plain and reflective, but with the lights off and tree lights on the look changes entirely. The result is very abstract but perfect for entering the year 2020!

Lights on
With a black light and string lights, it goes from elegant to otherworldly
Lights off and tree lights on
I used a black curtain for some shots to cover the mirrors on the wall
First, we removed the mirrors from their frames
We then built boxes to glue the mirrors to
I found cheap full-length mirrors for the wall behind
Broken up mirrors for the mosaic garland. Good thing we aren’t superstitious!
Mosaic garland was added before decorating
Finished! Which effect do you like best?

Cool! But not something I'd make for myself (one of the reasons is my cat ... and I'd probably cut myself on one of the mirrors too)

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.

This is a really creative idea and I think it works beautifully. It gives me great modern art vibes!

This is a brilliant idea and very beautiful. When the curtain is up, there's a very definite kind of Peanuts' Charlie Brown esqe tree image going on. I love the eclectic and futuristic vibe. Congrats on your awesome tree!
