Christmas window decoration

Deer family for window by Alika-Rikki

I tried to do something winterlike for my Christmas window. I was looking for small deer figurines at ebay with an idea to paint them white. Then I saw this cute family at Michael's, bought them and decided to keep them colored. Flowers in my white vases were changed to fir-trees branches, and sea-urchin became snowbanks.

Now I need some decorative trees. I imagined them - simple but original cones. Didn't find small enough trees  at the stores. Looked through tons of pinterest pages. Decided to make them myself.

Here they are!

I found  a small ball of perfect yarn - light green with tiny fluffy bits -  for smaller trees.

Two collage trees are cardboard cones covered with pieces from vintage books.

 It was fun to make and I love how they turned out!
