After last year’s Egg Box Tree egg-cellence
we knew we had our work cut out to come up with something as special for this years.
And I think we may have pulled it out of the bag.
Proudly presenting….
the 2013 Make Do and Mend Christmas Tree….
made from….
Lampshades!
And here it is at night
I was inspired after seeing the wonderful Sarah Moore’s lampshade trees online
and while I am the first to admit that our’s may not have quite the same vintage style and class, we are pretty pleased with it!
And actually, even hubby admitted that a couple of evenings sat in front of the TV wrapping ribbon around lampshades was preferable to battling with a real tree 🙂
That and the cat seems to like it….
My Make Do and Mend Year 
Wow, what a need idea, and I love the added pussycat :o)
She even managed to turn the lights off somehow!
That is so cool!! So, so cool. 😀
Thankyou!
so cute
