I made this "Christmas Tree" a couple of years ago. I inverted a tomato cage and wired the prongs together to form a point. Next, I wrapped it with grape vines that grow wild on our place, wired them to the cage, and then added white lights. Our grapevines were green and easy to wrap, but if you wanted to, you could soak a grape vine wreath and then take it apart to make one. It could use an anchor; in a strong wind, it topples over. Oh well-- you can't hurt it and the cord from the lights keeps it from going too far!

That is just too cute and with the winds we've had lately, you may need a barge anchor...yeah and winter isn't officially here yet, the Almanac says it's gonna be a cold one, well they haven't missed that one a bit! brrrrr...

ReplyDeleteand the shadow is wonderful
we use those arched trellis garden spikes to anchor things. our poor little snowman get sick of flying before we anchored him :)
so now he has the garden spike around his base and pushed deep into the ground - he looks relieved ;)
A very cleverly made tree, and I love the shadow.
