Mini Tree Decorated with Ribbon
This is one of the small live trees that I purchased to use on our Thanksgiving table. I hate throwing things out to redecorate for Winter, so I decided to add a few ribbon bows, and keep it through the Winter/Christmas season.
This is what it looked like when I purchased it at the store.
I cut a small square of painters cloth to wrap around the pot and used a fabric scrap to secure it in place.
Then purchased a $1 worth of 1/16″ red ribbon from Hobby Lobby and tied small bows to the branches.
I love it when I can transform something that I already had and make it work for another holiday.
Do you reuse things in your holiday decor, or purchase new?
Simple and sweet.
I love it. Simple. Sweet. Perfect!!
Love the fact that you are using something real to decorate with!!
How fun are you? I just popped over from Deb’s and of course I’m here to stay for a while. And I see so many other’s in green I know on your roll, just can’t imagine how I’ve missed you this long.
I’m reusing most everything in our decorating. We’ve only purchased a few items this year, which I’ll be sharing. I love the ribbons tied around the branches of your tree. Last year I used a small evergreen in decorating. I replanted it in the spring, and it has doubled in size. Had to put it in a larger pot recently. I’m surprised it made it through our hot summer, but it did.
Nice Dawn- so wonderful to use the little tree through another season.
What a sweet little tree! I am hosting my first ever link party this weekend and I would love it if you popped over to link up some of your cutie stuff!
Thanks, Kim

Hi Dawn,
Your tree is so adorable! Sometimes less is more.

Very sweet…love how you covered the green pot!
So cute and so sweet. Looks lovely
I’m all about low-cost, no-cost, use what you already have – and you did great at that! Love your precious little tree and the sweet ribbons, just so simple and cheery. I found your link at Met Monday and came by to visit, glad I did.
