A gift for a friend

I just finished this little table top tree for a friend who's going through some tough times. It won't arrive in time for Christmas but she admired my other tree and I wanted her to have one, too. I didn't have enough of the pipe cleaners to make a full sized tree but I think this little one is kind of cute.

I hope everyone has a wonderfully Merry Christmas!

An aluminum Christmas tree

This turned out so well that I'm gonna have to make one to keep, too. :0) This one will be listed tomorrow in my etsy shop. The ornaments and tree skirt go with it.

This is even easier to make than the green one because there are no cross branches. You have to use a skinny dowel to look authentic. Otherwise, it goes together just like the other tree.
The tree skirt is based on one from the 50s that I saw in a photo. I made all of the ornaments and the tree topper is a shank button so all I had to do was slip the shank loop over the top of the tree. Cool!
