Mini Christmas Tree From Clippings

I love this craft because it was almost free to make. I call it my perfectly imperfect mini Christmas tree which makes a festive centerpiece.
When I bought my real tree, I grabbed a bunch of fresh clippings for around the house.
This craft only needs a few materials, which I already had a t home.
Place the foam into the pot. Insert sticks into the foam. Place longer clippings on the bottom, going in between sticks. About 1/3 of the way up, start inserting shorter clippings until you’ve reached the desired height. Mine is 14 inches in height (including the pot).
Tie the sticks together.
To make the top more pointed, tie a few small clippings facing downwards.
Cut off any excess sticks.
Decorate the tree. I kept mine simple by adding white ribbon and silver bells. This mini tree would make a festive centerpiece, don’t you think? I have no idea how long it will last, but I plan to spritz it with water frequently and hope it stays good for at least a little while. Hope you enjoyed this mini tree tutorial.
