Christmas Wall Hanging Decoration Using Vintage or Costume Jewelery
by
Donna
This wall hanging will add a festive sparkle to your holiday decor, featuring your own jewelry as ornaments for this easy Christmas decoration. And you don't have to ruin your jewelry to make it!
My mother had a decoration similar to this that my aunt had made using her collection of costume jewelry. I loved all the different designs of jewelry that were on display. I always thought that this tree was a unique family heirloom.
Then a few years ago, a co-worker displayed a wreath decorated with costume jewelry on her office door during the holidays. I guess my aunt's tree wasn't really a one-of-a-kind family treasure (though I still cherish it). I'm guessing that these wall hangings might have been a popular project in the 1950's or 60's. I think it's time we rediscover this sparkly holiday craft!
I couldn't wait to make my own jewelry tree using my collection of vintage jewelery. I've posted a tutorial on my blog at:
