Hose Nozzle and Other Alternative Christmas Trees
December 01, 2013
I recently found 3 older brass hose nozzles. All three at once. An instant collection.
They are not exactly shaped like a Christmas tree but I think you get the idea. I stained a small square of wood and pounded in three large nails. The hose nozzles balance on the nails. You could stick a little piece of fun tack or double sided tape to make them more stable if they are wiggly. Then I wrapped one nozzle with jute and another with wire and bells. All three have flat metal stars stuck into the nozzle tip hole.
Junky little hose nozzle Christmas trees.
Here another easy alternative Christmas tree. A vintage berry sieve on top of an old spool. I have decorated it with vintage ornaments and a star.
Grubby button trees from last week. Make them here.
Here is my berry sieve tree on a kitchen shelf with my grubby button alternative trees.
Are you a fan of alternative trees?
This funnel tree from last Christmas is my favorite. Do you remember it?

The sieve is pretty cute. I guess you never run out of ides. I just decorated an enormous vintage toolbox and really that is it for me. I shall leave all this thinking to you:}
ReplyDeleteLove the sieve. You can look at something so differently and turn it into something precious. That is if junk is precious....it is to us, right.
ReplyDeleteLove all your trees...so cute!! I just recently got a funnel tree at a craft show and I love it.
