New Tree Theme!

[SilentNight]

This year will be my first Christmas in my own house. Since my husband was a child he has been collecting diecast tractors and farm toys. This year instead of keeping them boxed up, I am going to make him a tractor tree! I have already been getting them out and putting ribbon on them to hang from the branches.

Since a lot of the stuff is too big for the tree I will have a farm scene under the tree with farms and animals and such.

I am so excited to do this tree for him! It is going to be on the landing of our stairs.


I will get pictures up when I start it!!

My hubby likes matchbox cars maybe next year I will do the 4 ft tree with them he has his put up somewhere. But I would love to see your tree while you are working on it.

I did the match box car for my son about 10 years ago and I purchased some of the small checkered flags & made that into the topper & went to the craft store & purchased some race car fabric to make a tree skirt for it. I can't wait to see it! You can also take colored lights and change the strand to red, yellow and green( street lights)..that adds to your theme!

thanks for sharing your pics. I love the lollipops you have around the tree.

Thank you, they were so easy to make, i even got my 4 yr old involved, i took styrofoam and had him paint them the same colors as the celofane, other wise you would have seen white through it. He had a good time. Then i bought the dowels and painted them white, and put them on the styrofoam, and wrapped them with celofane. I needed something to hold them so i wrapped empty boxes and put the dowel through the top and hot glued them in. Add a bow to the top to hide the stick. It was a fun project. Sorry i went on about it. I am so excited about it.
