holiday decor from a tree branch

A little help from nature, firefly lights and a blank wall, that's all it took to make my holiday tree this year. Using the wall as a canvas is an alternative and easy way to decorate in a small space.



I found this glorious Sycamore tree branch at the park with its beautiful white, gray, brown camouflage pattern.

Just added a turkey feather and firefly string lights from Urban Outfitters, really didn't need to do anything more to this beauty.

I was fascinated how a few hanging seeds give simplistic decorative elements. Happy Holidays! xx

driftwood holiday tree

Okay, you have seen these kind of trees diy'ed on several blogs. I am not going to get into the details how I made it. You can see from the photos that they are so easy to make. I just wanted to show that there is always an alternative and easy way to make a holiday decoration for small spaces. Because of the limited space in my apartment I took advantage of the freshly painted empty wall in my living room. I have this beautiful driftwood from last summer that I collected while walking along a lake. Who knew it would end up as a tree? Simply using wires to hold the driftwood was my choice because the string light had a similar wire and I thought they all blend well together. The roe antlers were also a perfect fit for this bohemian natural style decor. I used damage free hooks to hang everything so as not to ruin the wall. Love the simplicity of it but I can always add some decorations later or since I have a newly painted chalkboard wall I may add some drawings and writings too:)

I could have done a better job with the wiring but this only took a few minutes to make.

Added a turkey feather for the finishing touch. Of course my Amaryllis bulbs are getting ready for a great bloom. Fingers crossed.


Have a great weekend! xx
