Advent Blog Day 22 - Ribbons and Lace
Yesterday it was the bizarre, today's nothing but pretty! Today's Christmas tree ideas are for all my sewing friends and family who I know have lots of bits of ribbons and lace in their stashes. All these ideas are easy to assemble, so there's still time to create one before next Tuesday. Many of the links in the photo captions are "how to" files.
These folded ribbon trees make beautiful table trees and are so simple to make.
Other very easy to make ribbon trees are wrapped around a cone shape. Lights and beaded embellishments add some sparkle to the simplicity of design.
Small Christmas tree ornaments are a great way to use very short lengths of ribbon.
More romantic Christmas trees are created with lace. The vintage look can be achieved easily with soft and subtle colours and textures.
Somehow the trees look so much more special when the lace is handmade ....
While most of today's trees are smaller and would make great tabletop trees, the following one is over 7 feet ( 2 metres) tall and the ulitmate in romantic - made from lace and ribbons from wedding gowns.
So few days left and so many many more unusual Christmas trees to share .... see you here tomorrow ...
