A Ten Minute Tree!

I found these Halloween trees at Dollar Tree Yesterday.

They are the fastest trees on the block!

I released on from the card and bent it's branches this way and that until I liked the way it looked.

If I were going to use it for a regular tree right now, I would have painted the branches and everything brown, but I need it for the Halloween party, so I left it black.

Then I went to the foliage box and grabbed a sack of Lichen or Reindeer Moss. 

This was just for illustration purposes only.  I could also cut out leaves or use various other materials for the greenery. 

If I had been making the tree for real, the glue would be in use for the next step.

I am purely doing this for those that have a Dollar Tree store nearby.

My greenery is precariously perched on the branches to show you how nice it will look when I do it for real.

I am certainly going back for a couple more of the tree forms.  These are worth the money.  If I made them myself, they would take a while and lots of materials. 

Thank you Dollar Tree for saving me a lot of work and a lot of waiting for the glue to dry.

After Halloween has passed, I will be making a few of these for real. 

Back to work now.  I just finished cleaning my closet and changing it from summer to winter.  I am going back to see if I missed changing anything.

See you tomorrow.
