OK friends, I'm just going to go ahead and say it early on...I am OBSESSED with salvaged and re-purposed tree ideas this year!!
I've already shared a couple...
First there was the POST CARD RACK turned PHOTO HOLDER TREE.
And next there were the INSULATOR TREES.
Now I want to show you my crate tree.
I fell in LOVE with the crate tree that Laura from Finding Home made last year. That's where my inspiration came from.
See her original version (among other great handmade gift ideas)...
HERE.
Thanks Laura!!
For mine I started with a yardstick.
Then I used small screws to add some crates I already had in my stash. I also added a license plate for fun too.
The yardstick was the perfect length...even a little extra for a "trunk" at the bottom :)
The finishing touch is a star ornament I bought at an occasional sale last Christmas.
And now is hangs nicely in my partly decorated "sitting room".
Are you "obsessed" with unique tree ideas too??

ReplyDeleteBeautiful trees Laurel... you always make fantastic repurposing projects!
ReplyDeleteCute but inquiring minds need to know what you did with the rest of the crate!
ReplyDeleteI love this! so rustic and charming - I think I'd leave it hanging year 'round! Fantastic! I've been thinking of making one from wood scraps - guess I'd better go dig through my pile! Hugs, Leena
