SO this is what Micah and I did Black Friday evening...We made our First Christmas tree all decorated and everything... And we are so excited about it!!! There's nothin better to bring warmth and hominess to a house than a good christmas tree with a choochoo train too..... And we did it all for pretty cheap...
Micah got the tree back in August at a Garage sale for $15, and it already had lights, one just had to replace one bulb...extra bulbs from Walmart $1. Then we got a tree topper $10 at Big Lots, as well as plain colored balls in small and medium sizes for $6 and ornament hangers for $0.60.
The train around the bottom Micah had already. And we bought a round red table cloth from WalMart for $9 and I used my handy sewing skills to cut into the middle and finish the edge so it could go around the tree. We also painted some of the balls ourselves with silver and gold glitter paints from Roberts for $2.
And last but not least the bows are all reused ribbon from our wedding presents......
For a Grand Total of $43.60!!! We are pretty proud of that. ;)
Happy Holidays to everyone!!! Enjoy the season!
