Vintage Spindle Christmas Tree
5 Materials
Turn a pile of vintage spindles, a wood slice and a little paint into the perfect Christmas Tree for a small space.
Remember the never ending box of vintage spindles for the Vintage Spindle Snowmen from last week? Well, this time some of them got turned into the perfect Christmas Tree for a small space.
For the spindle tree you will need 6 to 10 spindles. If you don't have vintage spindles by the hoards just living around ;) you can usually find these for next to nothing at your local salvage store.
Paint your spindles in different shades of green and white. I used Country Chic Paint in Hollow Hill and Lazy Linen. Paint two of the spindles with the colours as they are. The others can be painted with different mixed of the two colours.
You will need a thick wood slice for your base and a dowel to hold your tree together. Cut the dowel long enough to go through all of the spindles and a few extra inches for the trunk.
To keep the spindles from dropping down to the wood slice, I wrapped and glued some hemp twine around the bottom 2 inches of the dowel.
Finish your tree off with a bow or star and you have the perfect little tree.
