Ok, I promise . This is the last you will see about this . But just could not resist showing what I came up with . (With your help of course ) i am off tomorrow and I will make a couple more , make a nice base for them to stand on and put them away with dreams of next Christmas when they will debut !!

I needed something I could bend . I had long wires sticking out of the leaves after sewing . I took chenile stems and kind of wound the wires around them Then I wound strips of thin batting around that. Then I used a strip of tan colored fabric and wound it around that . Glued the ends .I will glue these onto some sort of stand .I will also use a small piece of burlap at the top to look like the place where the leaves have fallen off. They are proped up against the tray in the photo .Thank you everyone for your input . Your comments are most kind .

They look fantastic Beth, what did you use in the end? Are they sticks wrapped in brown crepe paper? Love and blessings Chris

Very nice! I might need some of thoses if we don't go to Donna TX for Chirstmas next year. We have been thinking of staying home next year so we can have the grandchildren over their Christmas Break from School and than going later.
