Laurel Tree

updating the original chandelier that came with this cabin.

took out the spokes + hub, so it’s a ring instead of a wagon wheel, and gray-washed the ring (not pictured).

then brushed with salt and vinegar for a bluegreen patina... the oven sped up the process.

installing later today... stay posted.

Yeah, I should be shopping cleaning cooking wrapping mailing writing driving *going going going* but instead... made a tree topper! 🎄😍🎁✨

With more terra cotta and blush and peach colors because yesssssss.🌸🪴🍑

So there’s a white poinsettia silk flower as the starting-base along with a pick of coppery mini-ornaments. I added dried flowers, a yarn pompom, potpourri roses + stalks, and a handful of peachy-sparkly silk hydrangea florettes, deconstructed. And finally, ribbons all over.

Big shout out to Idyllwild Help Center Thrift Store (where I find most of my treasures) and where I found the dried potpourri, the silk poinsettia, the yarn, and the white-glitter ribbon. Dried flowers, holiday pick, ribbons and macrame cordage from JOANN Fabric and Craft Stores.
