I have been wanting one of those vintage red Christmas tree trucks
to add into my décor.. I found one but didn't buy it, only to return and
they were already sold out! :0( So I kept searching, and I thought I had found one but it had a sticker shock of a price tag, so needless to say.. it stayed in the store.
I have found some other fun Christmas Truck items, like this kitchen towel that I made into a decorator pillow.
But I was really wanting an actual truck décor piece, so I decided to just make one.

We went to the toy section.
I put a small amount of hot glue onto my little bottle brush tree, and placed it into the bed of my truck.
Then added a small dot of glue where the tree lays onto the truck cab.
Then I cut a piece of red/white twine to add a little bow to the top of my tree.
That is one adorable Christmas Tree Hauling Truck. :0)
The Toy Truck was right at $6.00 and I had everything else on hand. So it was an inexpensive and fun project and it is just so cute.
Enjoyed the project?
