My Christmas Tree...

[fenderlove]

Since it's my first Christmas in my own apartment (and because I was too much of a cheapskate to buy an actual Christmas tree), I made my own tree from a Styrofoam cone, craft paint, a bottle cap, and old magazines (I guess it's a little bit of upcycling). It cost me less than $5 to make, and it fits within my teeny apartment. XD

looking good.
Our first tree was inflatable, I loved that tree. We've got a fibreoptic one now and that's our only decoration aside from Christmas cards.

Thank you! I wish I had an inflatable tree. A big pink sparkly one. XD

I'm pleased with how it turned out.

... Also, LJ's new comment reply layout is kinda weird...

That's really, really cool! Was the idea your own or did you find the idea someplace?

[fenderlove.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I came up with it myself (though I'm not probably the first). :D

I think it's an awesome tree. Mine is a metal curlique tree I bought online for about $20 last year. I do like a real tree but hauling it around and messing with pine needles? Not so much.

Thank you! I love metal trees. I might get one one day. :D
