Scrap Wood Christmas Tree

#Recycle

My hubby zipped through this project in record time using old fence boards and a little spray paint! I then took over and used my Cricut to attach vinyl letters, distressed it a little and the project was done! Be sure to read the post for all the details.

    Wanda, you could always use it for outside decorating as well.

    Marty this is beautiful. I want one. It would be great for on a door or front the porch, between garage doors, attached to the mail box post, staked in the yard or in an apartment that didn't have room for a full tree or... or... or...! I could on and on. Thank you so much for sharing. We have plenty of scrap wood I could make this up with in a jiffy.

    I love the finished product! But the possibilities are unlimited! Paint it green and add small red sequences or round dots of glue with red glitter! Star at the top and bow at the bottom! And can you imagine the sizes you could make...large ones for outdoor decorations! Fix one for Grandparents and put photos of her children and grand and great-grand children. Use colors in her decor so she can keep it out all year! Make one for a family member that lives away from the family! Love this project!

    I love this Marty...we recently had a white fence made of 1x6 slats come down during a hurricane....now this is something I could do with the fencing. It's a very old fence so it would look beautiful and rustic....tres shabby chic!

    Thanks, everyone! I'm so glad everyone has wood around. My hubby is going to have to hunt for some more!
