  • I love those soft trees, they look great, I think I will have a go at some of them.

    Thanks so much!

    The soft trees I've done are very small and I'm trying to do something 'festive' with our pine dresser (only got it this year) - re-reading this thread I think I might take a few twigs off our twisted willow tree and decorate them somehow............not sure how yet but I have got a couple of small silver buckets I had pressies in the other year. Got me thinking now.....................:rolleyes:
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    Just found this site with some lovely Christmas 'primitive' stuff on in, including 'twiggy' type trees. Worth a look.............scroll down the left hand side to Christmas -the twig tree things are on Christmas Arrangements section

    Do you have children? We have made xmas trees by drawing round our hands on green paper and using them to make a tree. The fingers make the leaves/needles and you decorate the fingers with bright colours and glitter. It is a lovely way to make a family tree.
