Seasonal Upcycling is a decorating theme once again this year.
I've noticed several trees made of cupcake liners.

There's a lot of potential here, but to make
these trees truly environmentally friendly wouldn't you have
to use used cupcake liners?
Wait a minute, that's not the point. It's clever re-purposing....

I've found lots of trees made from sewing room stuff.

Saving neckties for a necktie quilt?
Me---I have spent days shopping for a vintage
aluminum tree for the new modern living room.
I finally found one.
This is as far as I've gotten.
I'm mesmerized by its shininess.
I do love seeing all the different trees with repurposed items. I was thinking it would be fun to dig through my craft supplies and things around the house and see if I could come up with something new and creative.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I made one of those wool feather trees with the legs of some green wool pants. Trying to think of something equally woolie to use for a tree topper.. or maybe one of those tube pasta angels the kids used to make in school!
ReplyDeleteWe had one of those shiny silver tree when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI was so envious of my cousin's who had an aluminum tree with pink satin balls (circa 1960). I can't wait to see what you put on your tree!
ReplyDeleteVery nice - I especially like the tiny trees and the neck ties. Merry Christmas from Paris!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea.All are super cool.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
