Spooooky Tree

Hi there Scrappers!  Since it's almost Halloween, I thought I'd bring you a little festive project today.  It's my Spooky Tree.

To make my cute little tree, I first trimmed my branch and spray painted it black.  Then I placed it in a glass cylinder and filled it up with candy corn to keep the branch from wobbling.  To finish off my vase, I tied some ribbon scraps around it.  I'm not very good at bows, so I just tied a knot. 

Then came the fun part.  Decorating the tree.  Each ornament is an altered tab hung by a clip. 

For this last ornament, I linked three tabs together and spelled out the word Boo!  To link them together, I just punched a hole in the bottom of each tab with my Crop A Dile and then put the hook through the hole.

How fun would this tree be at Thanksgiving?  You could leave the branch in its natural form and decorate your tabs with leaves.  You could even create one ornament for each person in your family, complete with photos and a list of what they are thankful for.

Or how about Christmas?  Easter?  Are you seeing it?  Yeah, me too!

Well, that's it for me today!  Hope you all have a Happy Halloween, and I'll see you back here in November.
