Xmas tree

[paulapips64]

Hello everyone I thought I would show you my little tree I made x

[Ian123]

Love it the effort of trying to put baubles on a 6ft tree takes away enjoyment of the event .

Practical energy saving idea the best solution is the simplest

[paulapips64 in reply to Ian123]

Thank you I find it takes my mind off the pain for a little while x

[Ian123 in reply to paulapips64]

Positive distractions that have beautiful results a win win

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to Ian123]

I'm busy colouring on the advice of my therapist and it really does make a difference to the perception of pain and not thinking too hard about unnecessary things. Mine don't have beautiful results like Paula's tree, but they are helping me at the moment

Any help is always welcome, I am using mindfulness it produces no more than distraction but I am working on it because it makes a difference

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to Ian123]

Ah now that is something I would like to know more about. A friend who is a specialist uses it both for her and some of her patients - must do some research into and if it helps then I will be extremely grateful to you for jogging my non existent memory !!

Really beautiful, love it. x

[bluejeans16]

WOW!! I love it. I would love to know how you made it.

[Fibrofoggiest]

That is really pretty, you must be very proud of yourself producing such a beautiful tree. So much nicer than a huge one, i wish I could figure out how you've done it and try to replicate it, guaranteeing that it would look nothing like as lovely as yours

Its lovely, I spent three hours listening to christmas music putting 16 years worth of decorations on our 6ft xmas tree, it was very relaxing and enjoyable.

[Hidden in reply to sophie22]

That exactly how I do it, Christmas music and a little help from my daughter

[paulapips64]

I bought a polystyrene cone from hobbycraft and got myself a glue gun and bought some pretty thick ribbon and organza and feathers and just cut ribbon about 2 inch and fold in half then stick all around cone alternate with organza till the top then finish off with feather trim x

Coooo you make it sound so easy, but it really is so effective, you're a clever bunny

It is really beautiful. You are quite talented. It does help to do things like that. I spent hours last night listening to Christmas music online and downloading it so I could burn a CD and play it from my stereo. The holidays are fun. When people put up lights and I go around to see them, it takes my mind off my troubles. I hope your holidays are as lovely as your tree!

Oh its lovely! Very glamorous too, you are clever. I wouldn't have the patience. I especially like the fluffy top. x

[Peace2014]

So Pretty. I love making things. My daughter has made polystyrene baubles covered with napkins they look really cool.

[Hidden]

That is a fantastic tree read your post on how to do it so I might just give it a try, I think my daughter would love it for her room.

[Sharolina]

I love it! It looks great and no pine needles to clean up which is a bonus, it's a win, win situation. Very well made, such a professional look. I believe creative people are happier people

So original. Went to the ballet the other week and they had a very large purple, pink and soft rose one made out of rosettes and it was so different.x
