One of these days I will scrounge up enough dough to purchase a large driftwood Christmas tree from my friend Michelle at Resurrect Antiques in Opelika, AL. I absolutely love her gorgeous trees! However, yesterday I found this cute little DIY from 52 Mantels and knew that a mini tree would hold me over until I get the big daddy. The original DIY used vintage mini glass ornaments for the tree shape and
thread for the base. I adapted the design for my Gillyweed store using small driftwood pieces that the kids and I picked up last time we were at the beach. Mini ornaments were added next and of course no tree would be complete without a star.
