Ok, misleading title.
FREE CRAFT WITH CHRISTMAS
SCRAPS!

Cut down a Christmas tree today, and had some scraps for bows, wreath, and etc.
Well, I figured while we were doing the x-mas decorating, I’d make a bonsai decoration from a branch.

I screwed into branch through a tile, then wired it into a pot.
Collected, pruned, styled, and potted all in an afternoon!


Yep, long weekends are nice.

nice. Looks bonsai-ish, see how long it lasts.

Haha! Well thanks! If there ever was a stick in a pot.
It sits outside, I figure it will last a bit longer out in the cold.

Great stuff.

Are you not concerned you may have been too aggressive on your root-pruning?

It’s not a “real bonsai” until you glue the soil in place. Extra points for a mudman!

It's Charlie Brown's Christmas tree! Love it!

Still a fun decoration.
