I like to create something different, something maybe no one else has seen before.
Although I know nothing is new under the sun, I still think this Baby Tree is pretty neat-o!
I started with some branches I found in my yard. (free)
Then spray painted them with left over white paint. (free)
Placed them in a container from the $ store. ($1)
Poured in some clear glass marbles left over from a wedding to
hold them in place. (free)
Tied ribbon in varying lengths onto the branches. ($3)
Punched holes in scripture cards I made on my computer left over from my daughter's baby shower and tied them on the ribbon. (free)
Tied baby party favors on the ribbon. ($2)
Clipped on tiny pink clothes pins to hold money and gift cards. ($1)
The mother-to-be was very pleased with her Baby Tree!
Warmly,
gail

What a great shower idea!! I'm certainly passing this along to my daughter who is giving a shower soon. I love the creativity and for a frugal investment, it's a big Woo Hoo! project!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Woo Hoo! Wednesday and joining the fun.
I love the idea of clipping the gift cards to it with clothes pins! I might consider this for end of the year teacher's gifts!
ReplyDeleteGail, that is so sweet. Thank you for linking to the Boardwalk Bragfest! Great project
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Love the look of branches for Christmas w/evergreens, an Easter egg tree, and now this! Would also be cute for a wedding shower with tiny little favor boxes hanging. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGail,
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job decorating for my baby Alissa'a shower! It was beautiful!
