Christmas Crafting

 I STILL haven't gotten any decorating done but I HAVE been doing a little Christmas crafting.  A bling tree doesn't quite qualify as a "bucket list" accomplishment but is HAS been on my to-do list for a long time.  I pulled out all my bling stash and just went for it

 I used a Styrofoam tree I picked up at The Bins.  I clipped off whatever was on the back of the pretties and put the hot glue on them, not the Styrofoam and just started plunking.  I was kind of amazed how many pieces it took to fill the cone.  Time to accumulate more because I really depleted the stash - oh darn!  8+)

I filled in the spaces around them with straight pins from my accumulation and then mounted the whole thing on a thrifted metal candle holder turned upside down.  I intended to use vintage pink tinsel garland around the bottom but couldn't get it to look the way it wanted so finally settled on pink gimp.  Now I just need to get some decorating done.  The rest of you are putting me to shame!
