I wanted to get Firstborn and The Girl each a small tree for their apartment. But little pre-lit trees are really expensive, and I'm not sure they really have the space. But at Tarjay, lookee what I found in the Dollar Spot - perfect little trees and tiny ornaments.
I cut the ornaments tube clean in half. Then I tossed the flimsy sparkly string they included and fished my florist wire out of my craft stash.
I used the circumference of my finger as a guide, twisted the wire to close it and tucked the sharp edges in.
A little hanger you will not be able to see once they decorate their tree!
Then I put the all back into the ornament tube and put a piece of tape on the ends. I found a couple of small gifts bags to put it all into. (the shape of a wine bag would have been perfect!)
For $3.50 apiece a pretty easy and inexpensive little craft. I hope these tiny trees will make them smile - perfect for their desk or kitchen counter. I will send them home on Thanksgiving night - probably along with many leftovers!
