A treasured tree....


You might remember the bridal bouquet I made for my daughter, Caitlin, in 2018:


These are the leftover jewels that I have been 'procrastinating' to make a Christmas Tree for my other daughter, Sara:



I collected jewelry from all our family members and friends to make the bridal bouquet and used all the leftover pieces to create this tree.   I spray painted a cardboard cone and hot glued the pieces onto the cone:





The "tree skirt" was my grandmother's hanky:


The photos don't do it justice as it really glistens!




I gave it to Sara on Christmas Day:
