Christmas Trees on Cars Mantle Decor and Printable
Seeing a Christmas Tree tied to a car is one of the many signs that the holidays are here! To capture that fun moment, I got together with some of my creative blogger friends to decorate our homes and trees with
A few years ago, I found these wooden cars and trucks at the thrift store. I was going to give them to my girls to play with, but I wanted to paint them first. I never got around to it. Fast forward to this year...they're perfect for my Christmas Trees on Cars mantle decor!
The dark green trees are also thrift store finds. The one inside the bed of the large truck has twinkly lights with an attached battery pack! And it works!
I hid the battery pack inside the truck, behind the ornaments, but keeping the on/off switch accessible.
The ornaments are from Target and are plastic. So if they fall out due to gravity, or kids, or kitties, they won't shatter. But you can also secure them with museum putty or 3M command strips.
Be sure to head on over to grab the free printable I made! My inspiration was the little car up front! And the saying "It's that time of year again!" is pretty much what goes through my head when I see Christmas Trees on Cars!
