Lampshade Tree Collar
A tree collar adds a clean and polished look to your Christmas tree, but they can cost upwards of $40. Instead, I found an affordable and stylish alternative using large lampshades from my local thrift store.
Want to try it yourself? Check out my full tutorial for making DIY Tree Collars with Lampshades HERE. This year, I made one with a woven fabric shade trimmed in black velvet ribbon, and it’s a showstopper!
Cut Glass Tree
Turn thrifted glass bowls and a candle holder into a stunning tabletop Christmas tree! It may take some time to find the perfect sizes and shapes, but the results are worth it. This elegant winter décor cost me less than $20 to make.
Follow my step-by-step guide HERE and create your very own glass tree masterpiece!
Mini Frame Ornaments
Small picture frames from the thrift store are perfect for making unique ornaments or gift toppers. Personalize them with vintage holiday art, family photos, or even jewelry. I used my grandmother’s brooches for an extra sentimental touch!
