O (Pink) Christmas Tree

I don’t make the time to participate in Pink Saturday very often and that’s my bad because I really do enjoy it!

We are posting a theme for our Pink Saturday posts this month and everything worked out perfectly for me since I finished (what I think is) my fabulous pink adorned feather tree!!!  The them this week is Christmas Carols and I chose “O Christmas Tree” since I sjst finished my tree on Friday night in time to take the photos and use it on Pink Saturday!

I bought this beautiful pre-lit feather tree at an after Christmas clearance sale a few years ago and have yet to use it.  Since I didn’t want to do a lot of decorating this year, it was the perfect opportunity to take it out and use it on top of a dresser in my studio.

My tree in all it’s glory!  Don’t worry about the paneling in the background—it’ll be painted over shortly after the first of the year!!!

And my tree in the darkness.

Now I’ll show you some of my handmade ornaments.

 

I made tussie mussies out of sheet music paper downloaded from the Graphics Fairy.  I colored the paper with a thin pink craft paint and then with Mod Podge to make them pliable and easier to form into the cones.

I embellished them with lace, buttons and silver pipe cleaners.  I think the silver pipe cleaners look quite a lot like vintage tinsel garland.

 

I also applied Mod Podge to some miscellaneous vintage Christmas graphics to place inside the tussie mussies along with some white feathers.

 

I Mod Podged some of the same vintage music paper and pink craft paint onto Styrofoam balls and then applied another layer of Mod Podge and some sugary glitter.  I filled some clear ornaments with silver glitter!

To decorate under the tree, I placed some mini lights on the dresser top and covered with a snow like blanket.

I painted some houses and a church in the light pink paint and applied some of the same sugary glitter using Mod Podge.

To finish it off, I added some of my vintage mercury glass ornaments in silver and pink to the tree and on the snow.

I hope you enjoyed my Pink Saturday carol! 

Blessings,

Christine
