Magazine Christmas Trees

I came across these magazine Christmas Trees last year as I was browsing the Martha Stewart website.  I cannot find the original video from the Martha Stewart website, but I did find a YouTube video.  Here is the link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxZQZcm4XTQ

Our holiday decor has always been gold and red, so I chose to spray paint my tree gold.  I used green, red, gold, blue, and silver glitter. 

I guess they turned out really well, because last year my brother-in-law asked me where I bought them!

In the days/weeks to come, I will be sharing some of the Halloween items I have made.  I update my decor every year, but also hold on the items from past years.  Stay tuned...
