What Does Our Resident Crafter Have to Say?

Vintage bottle brush trees are the one Christmas item that never seems to get old or go out of style. When I was approached to share my thoughts about this product I immediately had an idea for a project that I just had to share! I wanted to make something that was functional and decorative, but with a touch of holiday whimsy. I ended up creating these little place card holders for a holiday dinner and a few Christmas tree ornaments, but you could easily use them as party décor too. These darling trees lend themselves to many different types of projects — they’re perfect for Christmas-time crafting.
