It's hard to believe it's December already! I noticed the other day that the Christmas tree stands are already up. Only then did I remember that it's time to start gathering materials to make the little trees I make each year. I'll gather the little disks from the bottoms of the trees, as well as some sprigs, grab a hammer and a nail, and get to work.
Last year, I taught several of my kid clients how to do it. This year, I'll probably do the same. I'll attach a picture of a few of my little trees from last year. Or was it the year before? Time flies, whether you're having fun or not! Let me know if you want more details on how to make them. Kids love them.

It is fun. I made some one year when we had to much tree. A great craft for the kids.

@TheHorse .....Cut a hole down in the disk and then put a little glue there and stuck the sprig down in it.

@celticeagle It's fun. I just hammer a nail in there, wiggle it and take it out. Gotta whittle down the base of the spring to twist it in. It holds pretty good.

I stopped at a Christmas tree lot in Portland yesterday to get a tree preserver product they have and picked up a small sack of those rounds. Now what?

@TheHorse and then you drill a little hole in the disk and insert the sharpened end of the sprig? Right?

What a cute idea. Maybe I'll show the photo to my husband and see if he want to help some of the grandsons make a couple.

Yep let me have the details. Don't know if I can do anything like that but if kids can I'm willing to try.

The Christmas tree places are willing to to give a way the disks that they chain saw from the bottom of their trees, as well as nice, healthy sprigs, for free. Start by gathering a bunch of each. All you need is: a hammer, a nail, and a pocket knife. I'll write more later!

I remember those little trees when you made them last year and how cute they were/are. I'm sure the kids enjoy making them
