This year I decided to make a 100% natural Christmas tree (except a burlap bow at the top) for my back patio.
Everything on this tree was found on the side of some road close to my home. It is amazing the beautiful foliage that is still left this time of year!
Backseat of my car with weeds that will soon be ornaments!
3 cans of spray paint; 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 red .
This weed was one of my favorites, up close it looks exactly like a snowflake!
These also turned out pretty cool! Be careful, these have small stickers on them.
I took a pair of yard gloves and scissors with me when I went out to find my free decorations :-)

These were just so pretty I left them alone, they glow with the lights behind them.
and more...
I took the above from bushes in my yard, great filler- Spray painted the ends and done!
I also picked pine cones out of my yard and sprayed them red to add a little color.
The finished product is below!
Total cost for me, zero! Used spare paint and my burlap bow came from scraps of burlap I had.
Not bad for a FREE TREE!
