10 Not so Typical Tannenbaum

Thought I would kick off Christmas week with a few pictures of not so typical Christmas trees.


This fun little button covered tree was made by Sarah Johner by for Susan Beal's fantabulous book Button Up!


Wall decals seem to be all the rage and Christmas tree shaped ones are no exception. Take a stroll through Etsy for several options like this fun one by Coco Color Design.


By far my favorite Christmas tree I have seen this year is this one that my friend Karly sent me made of random junky goodness.


My friend Dave Lowe whips up a Christmas Tree made from magazines for an episode of Craft Lab.


Another take on the magazine tree from rzdeloach's Flickr page.


I found what looks like a Mad Scientist's test tube tennenbaum on Bev 10 99's Flickr page.


This Christmas tree from World Have You Say's Flickr page is made of plastic bags. You could make one of Vickie Howell's wreaths to match.


Nothing says Merry Kitschmas like paper cups and rubber gloves.


Since the picture I posted of an Ice Cream Cone tree was such a big hit I thought I would post another picture of a tulle tree from the same issue of Christmas Ideas from 1961.


Ok I said 10 because it rymed better with typical and tannenbaum, but really we have 11 trees. These jewelry covered trees were the inspiration behind my Floral Fro creations.

  1. Great collection of photos! My favorite is the last one - the chunky jewelry is perfect! But a close runner up is the tulle tree, mainly because I love how the girl is just "casually" standing by in her best 50's (60's?) ballet pose!

    Hope you and your family are having a great holiday season. :)
