Christmas Tree for the Cook

If you’re anything like me, you’ve already decorated more than one Christmas tree in your home. As much as I love trees, they do take up a lot of space. A simple solution is a small tabletop (or counter top) tree. This one is perfect for the kitchen and the person who loves to cook.

 

I started with a little tree that will fit in the corner and added a string of white lights. Then I shopped Goodwill and raided my kitchen drawers for cookie cutters and baking utensils. They make perfect ornaments.

 

 I made hanging loops with colorful holiday ribbons.

I like the mixture of old and new, but you could stick with just copper or brass.

The brass angel napkin rings fill in the empty spaces and were less than $1.00 from Goodwill!

 

Finish it off with bead garland or string popcorn and cranberries for a country Christmas tree! No need for a fancy tree skirt, wrap the base with a Christmas kitchen towel.

 

Every tree needs a topper. A wine cork screw almost looks like an angel! We spend so much time in the kitchen, why not make it festive?
