I'm still tweaking the tree but I like the direction we are going. I didn't use the CDs like the original, instead I backed it with black cardstock. I also substituted out the twine for a tan/khaki colored yarn and from a distance you can't really tell it's not the same. I like it. only a tad bit of twine on hand and it's like 4-5 bucks a ball) I cut the word peace from Joy of the Season cartridge (thanks Kathy). My version also has more ornaments than the original because they were ones I got at the $1 tree last year plus a few others. It got the nod of approval from the kiddos and the hubby.
The tension rod "curtain" is a big hit for me. I love how it looks from the kitchen when you come in the front door. So festive. I don't know why I had been framing the opening all these years. I just need to get a bow for the other side so it looks finished either view. I will add some candles or something on the counter space below it.
More Copy Crafts and some other projects to come.
