More on Christmas decor

I love this little bird--found him on Ebay. This is another little joy in my day.

Ok, the above didn't come out quite right because I was supposed to have smaller bulbs for the top so that it would be more in the shape of a tree! But I used what I had and it adds a bit of sparkly fun. I found this idea from someone's blog. You use a knitting needle and just put the flat head of the needle on the bottom and thread the bulbs onto it. For the top bulb you remove the little hanger thing and just slip it over. The bulbs enable the whole thing to stand on its own. Cool and only takes minutes!
