While I like to celebrate the holidays one at a time, I did break my rule and made a Christmas craft before Thanksgiving. What can I say, my glue gun was on fire last week!
I started out with a Styrofoam tree that I bought at a garage sale for 50 cents. I bought the ball of twine (at where else?) for 50 cents too. So the grand total of the project was around $1. I used a couple of hot glue gun sticks, so that factored into the cost.
I put the tivo on to something mindless (probably The Biggest Loser) and glued away. I wrapped the twine around twice.
This is what I ended up with.
What do you think?

I love that- great idea!!
sounds like fun!!
I really like this idea! I like maybe the flower, but not the bucket. Or I'm thinking maybe a rusty(ic) star on top. I think I'll have to do this, I have all the supplies already. :)
The simplistic beauty of this tree is great!! Nice work!!
I'd love for you to link up this post and any other Christmas-related projects to the 26-Day Christmas Craft Marathon Linky Party!!
Thanks so much for sharing!!

Very simple but pretty.
I agree with Shannon about the ideas for toppers.
Merry Christmas.
Can't beat $1!! Turned out great!! I like it just by itself!
Thanks for sharing at Show & Share!
I love this idea - might have to make some for my own house - maybe add some berries or something :) Great job!

Congrats!
Love this! I think I like it better plain, or just minus the bucket. I like your jars of pinecones too.
