Repurposed Tree with Thrift Store Silver

I'm gearing up to host the 'Tis the Season Holiday Link Party on December 22nd. My theme for the party is Christmas trees and I thought I would share this fun little tree that we have in our dining room because it has such an interesting backstory!

 



You know how artificial Christmas trees come in a few parts?  Well, this is the top portion of our old Christmas tree!  We got a new, larger one for our living room and I decided to repurpose part of the old tree.  All I did was stick it into an urn that I had in storage. Super easy, and frankly I don't think anyone would have guessed that I just fashioned this from something what was destined to be discarded. 



 

 

I decorated it with vintage silver sugar bowls and creamers from the thrift store that I already had on hand.  I just simply tied the handles with twine and hung them on the tree.

I also used vintage silver ornaments and silver alphabet tags from my scrapbook supplies to add more sparkle and dimension.

I draped long lengths of black ribbon around the tree as garland.

 

 

 

Lastly, instead of a traditional topper I used some dried flowers randomly stuck around the top of the tree.
