Tie a Yellow Ribbon - Christmas Tree 2013


This Yultide 2013, I've decided to decorate my Christmas tree with Yellow Ribbon Bows. My Christmas tree was complete before Halloween even arrived. *sigh* I'm looking forward to the Holiday season, spending time with Family and Friends who now have the time this season.

Yellow Ribbon Bows are for Support of America Veterans who risk their life to fight for our Constitution.

Total amount of time spent to decorate the tree: 6hrs. 3hrs to make the yellow ribbon bows and 3hrs to unpack the tree and embellish it with decorations.

I have handcrafted the yellow ribbon bow and decorated the tree with 64 total yellow ribbon bows; In addition, to accent the bows; I've added: white synthetic baby's breath, white ribbons, and lastly white holiday lights.

A large multi-looped white bow can be found at the topmost part of the tree.

I think it looks absolutely breath taking. Who knew that this artificial Christmas tree stands at 4ft tall and purchased at my local MTA thrift store two years ago. Ribbons and material were purchased at my local 99cent only store.

I'm sure that the amount spent totals close to $10. With budget in mind, I think I have done well.
This Christmas tree maybe the most impressive that I have done yet.

In the past, I have decorated the tree with Origami Cranes, and other ornaments. I look forward to visitors this year. I hope they enjoy the sight of my decor. It was handmade with tender loving care.
