My mom asked me to try and come up with some kind of centerpiece decoration for our Thanksgiving meal. I'm not sure if this is what she had in mind, but it was just the push I needed to finally finish this kit. I've had it half finished for the past year and a half. The tree, leaves, and frames are all preprinted chipboard punchouts. All I had to add was pictures. Sometimes it's the easy things that take the longest to make!

Family Tree Centerpiece

That is a great idea for a centerpiece though, way to think outside the box a bit...beyond the flowers and cornucopias! Being thankful for our family really is at the center of it all isn't it. I like the way your tree turned out.
ReplyDeleteLove it! It will make a great little centerpiece for your family's table. I think you're right about the easy things taking the longest. Us "creative thinkers" try to make it more difficult than it needs to be sometimes. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! You find the coolest kits!

ReplyDeleteHi Katie,
ReplyDeleteI really like the Family Tree Centerpiece that you made. Could you tell me where I could buy the tree that you used as a base?
