I really enjoy making things for the people I love. Makes me love home even more! *Still spend time every day making Christmas gifts. It’s been good getting a good clean and organize in. I have two boxes and two bags for donation. * I’ve spent a few hours a day going through every part of our main floor – every drawer, shelf, box and bin. Miserable to be sick, especially in the summer. Oh, Brandy, I sure hope you feel better soon.

Once you’ve set some of the larger bows around the tree in various positions, you can glue a small section and fill it in completely with the smaller shell and elbow noodles. I used a simple hot glue gun to dot glue onto the trees and then quickly attached the mini elbow noodles, small shells and mini farfalle “bows”. This helped ensure that the base would have nice coverage, which is harder to do once the noodles are attached. The first thing I did was give all four trees (the original needed a touch up) a nice even coat of Heirloom White spray paint.
The process really couldn’t be more simple or straight forward! I found some glass candle bases on Amazon that I used to create the same lifted base style as the original. I was able to do a bulk purchase from the owner, and he included these three cardboard thread cones for free.Īs soon as I saw them I knew it was time to create some macaroni trees of my own to join my Mother’s. While I was thrifting last month in Snohomish, Washington with some of the ladies from my Behind the Scenes class, we found this great thrift store that was one of the best I’ve seen! It had a mixture of antique and thrifted items and at prices close to 90% off what you’d find them for new. I believe the history of this tree specifically is that my Mother made it, and by inspecting it closely it seems to be a vase base with cardboard and newspaper paper mache turned into the cone stuck on top. I share all these details because ever since it’s debut, I’ve had questions about how it’s made and I wanted to put inquiring minds at ease! Jump to last year in 2020 when it spent it’s first Christmas up on our master bedroom mantle.
In 2018 it could be spotted in my Christmas living room decor on the piano. I first introduced my macaroni tree here on the blog back in 2017 ( Christmas in the Kitchen) when it spent the Christmas season on my kitchen windowsill. There are also quite a few collections of bottle brush trees to be found in this style, and I’m here for it!Ī collection of trees actually brings me right to my DIY project for the day today!
