Vintage Framed Christmas Tree

I love the vintage, simple, elegant Christmas decorations. And even better is when I can make them for little to no money! I am all about cheap but cute decor! I picked this frame up at Goodwill for $1.29 and it was a set of two! The lace and linen I already had on hand so here it is, my latest little DIY project.
All you need is:
1. hot glue gun
2. lace in two different shades of green.
3. frame 
4. linen 

This is the lace I used. They are both green even though the one looks white. 

First, iron the linen and hot glue it around the glass. Then all you have to do is scrunch up the lace to make it ruffle and hot glue it down in sections. Cut the lace when you reach the end of the line. Alternate the greens so you have a pattern. You could make the tree in any color lace to match your decor! 

Make sure to overlap each row as you go to cover up the hot glue. And here it is all finished!


Once you are done, just pop it in the frame and start enjoying it! It's a fun little project that doesn't take very long but adds a little vintage touch your bathroom, mantel or end table. 

The frame adds a vintage touch too. I just love a great Goodwill find! Enjoy!
