This year, for Christmas decorations, I recycled another pallet! Adam and I made the white tree last year and our latest invention is the one covered in flowers! I know, a bit weird… but my garden is blooming with roses, hydrangeas, jasmine etc, so I think it is appropriate. After-all we do live in Australia!
I pretty much used a whole pallet to construct the tree. First we had to pull it apart and take out the nails, and then I measured each board so I could cut them into pieces that would taper upwards into a point. After that it was cut and glue and then add a few screws for stability.
Our creation is a bit wonky… we hope it makes you smile!
I love this book we have in stock and it gave me the idea for some vintage decal bunting… ‘Have Yourself a Very Vintage Christmas’ features projects inspired by the 1920s through to the 1960s and you can recreate the decorations. But the best feature of this book is the nostalgic vintage artwork that is royalty free!
I made a template and cut from thick card each bunting piece, then taped down my favourite vintage images...
A handmade-recycled Christmas… Have a happy homemade Christmas too!
I know you are a bit crafty!!
