I took a little time for myself and created this awesome tree! Kath over at Olde Weeping Cedar Primitives made one similar with rusty bells and snowflakes. When you are at Kath's blog take a look at her wonderful signs that she makes and sells. I bought one last month and just love it!! I thought I would make my own tree with a different twist. If you know me you know I love birds and had to make a bird tree.
I took some old garland that the lights didnt work anymore and took it apart and used the branchs for the my tree, sticking them in the holes in the bobbin. Then I made up a batch of cinnamon dough and made my little birds and stuck a piece of rusty wire in the bottom of them. Then baked them until they were hard. I used a Martha Stewart recipe for the cinnamon dough. <----- Click on the link for the recipe. Sorry this tree will not be for sale. Making something for myself this time.
So that's all for now, I have to get back to sewing on them orders!! Happy December 1st!! :)
I love it!

What a fabulous idea! I have a bunch of these bobbins downstairs and I now know what I'm going to do with some of them! Thanks for the inspiration Tammy! Deb
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! I love it...very creative!
ReplyDeleteI knew I should have bought those bobbins I saw at Goodwill! Cute little tree, I think birds and bells would go quite nicely together. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to stop in and tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog. :) The bobbin tree is adorable...love your addition of the sweet little birds. I think I am going to sort through the box of bobbins I've been saving and make myself one too! Sometimes it's a treat to make something to keep, isn't it? I'm thinking of making little beeswax ornaments for mine. Thanks for the inspiration-very clever!
