This holiday seasons I wanted a tree... or the suggestion of a tree. I just didn't feel right about buying a tree that had been shipped from the mainland, and I have never liked "fake" Christmas trees.
I decided I wanted something hanging, I wanted a Christmas tree ordainment mobile. Turns out, these things exist! I found directions online here: Christmas tree ornament mobile, how-to
I had to improvise and used a fruit bowl from Target for the top but other than that (and doing some math of my own) I used her measurements and just went from there! It was easier than I expected, just a little time consuming.
taking it down was also time consuming, but not too bad. Here it all is ready to be put away!
