craftgrrl | My Christmas Floral Creation

I saw this really cool floral decoration at Michael's recently and it was quite expensive so I decided I was going to make one.

Mine, however, doesn't have the lights shining between and around the tree branches, but I put a string of 100, white mini lights in among the floral section, and I think it turned out really great. I picked the branches off our lawn. The store's branches were straight up instead of fanned-out like mine are and were off-white I believe. I made mine for hardly anything using a large, metal pot I bought there dramatically reduced after Fall, went to the dollar store for the floral and doves, and used wadded-up newspaper to hold the branches in place.

I wish you could see it lit for the full effect. :o)
