My Diy Cotton Boll and White Pumpkin Tree

I enjoyed making a smaller cotton boll tree for the kitchen so much that I decided to make a bigger version for the dining room.

The tree part of my cotton boll creation is an outdated ficus tree.    I stripped off all the green leaves and added a few dead branches that H trimmed off the Bradford pear trees in the front yard.

My finished tree is about 6 foot tall.

 

I wired.....floral taped......and wedged two long garlands of cotton boll and white pumpkins to my tree skeleton,

I bought my garlands last fall at At Home......hope they have more similar to them this year.

I am still moving things around......lol!     H flipped the mirrored cabinet that was in the kitchen around to the wall in the family dining room.

Before................................................................After 
The vintage metal serving cart that was on that wall found a home under the window in the family dining room.

See,    here's the metal cart under the window.

I changed out the white pom pom wreath that was here for a cotton boll wreath.

I have the dining table all cleaned off and ready for me to create  pretty fall tablescape for a dinner party that we're having over the week end.      I'll take some pics and share them next week!

Til Next Time......
