Quick and easy trees...and an offer

Carol, The Polka Dot Closet, recently posted about making doily trees...a wonderful shabby idea with lots of room for creativity...visit here The Polka Dot Closet  to see her beautiful creation and get instructions.   this reminded me that when we lived in Pensacola we used to go to Mobile to a trim warehouse and we would

 find wonderful lace trims and paper cones... we would use these to make trees for table decorations too.  Here are two made for a baby shower (little girl expected of course!)  But you could use them to make Christmas trees too.  The nice thing about using lace or ribbon is you can pin it to see how it looks before you commit to adhering permanently.  Then embellish with pearls, roses ... well

with whatever you please!
If you can find the clear cones used for making treetop angels (Wally used to have them) it makes it easier.  You can also decoupage them with a base paper.  Thank you
Carol for a new idea and the reminder !
