This I hope is OK for the December Challenge. I was not aware there was until other day. I have used Miss V's Christmas Cookie numbers. I cut away numbers. They were perfect size for this tree I made from a tomato cage and deco mesh, tinsel, and lights.

Then I added the gifts I made fsl and the star on top I designed last year. I wanted something to display the real gifts of Christmas.

can you please share directions for this? I love this!

Thanks.
I never follow instructions nor can I always give them the best. So I googled and found. Just type in tomato cage Christmas tree. They got people out there that gives instructions I just saw one in town said well that looks neat I gotta see if I can. So I did. If you don't got tomato cage laying around some places do carry them as some people just string lights on them and put them outside for lighting decorations.

Thanks for sharing the tip about the tree. I think I'll see what I can find, clean up one of my tomato cages, and make one for at my front door!

One machine needle was used but come to think of it, there is hours on that one and it would not hurt to change. Bless you.
The puppy dog saw me busy so did a paw open door went to bedroom.
