Today I have been working on the tree topper. Instead of a traditional tree topper I am making my own. Just about every tree I have seen in decor stores lately have had a tree topper done in this fashion. Here is my before bare tree top.
I have now added two glittered oak leaf floral picks. I found these at Hobby Lobby and got them 50% off. Along with these two picks I have spray painted two twigs gold and added them in and tied them to the tree top with wire. I am not sure I have enough twigs at this point.
Here, I have added a very large bow made with a 2-inch wired floral ribbon. I purchased three spools of this ribbon from a floral shop after Christmas last year and got it at 50% off. You can find out how to make a great florist's bow at Sue's blog I Need Mom!
This link will take you right to the bow making tutorial. I made all my bows this way this year and they turned out really pretty!
I spray painted a few more twigs and added them to the top. This look is more what I was going for. Looks festive without looking too busy. The rest of the tree isn't finished but, I will keep working on it. Progress has been slow but steady.
I will join these wonderful sites, go and visit them.
