In this video, I make a realistic natural christmas using an artificial plant and flocking.
the ornaments were created using verious beads and semi-precious stones. tigers eye, garnet, and swarovski crystals.
To create the gifts under the tree, I used scrap wood pieces glued together before wrapping in scrapbooking paper and tying ribbons made of paper and double-sided tape.
the bows I scaled to suit and can be found on cricut acsess.

Thats a very realistic tree that resembles a Noble Fir. I like those trees because there is space between the layers ify branches, allowing the ornaments to hang in the gaps. All of the accessories you made were equally stunning

Ah, no way! I will have to check these trees out. I love real trees for that reason. Unlike my artificial one which is jam-packed with ornaments. I like a sparse selected selection and every year I say next year we're getting a real tree. Looks like its going to be next year again 😄 Thank you so much ❤️ and I hope you have a fabulous Christmas ❤️🎄

@@craftsbyxander the Christmas tree lots around here really only sell 2 kinds of tree. The noble fir is more expensive. And the Douglas Fir is cheaper, bushier, has much wimpier branches that can't hold the weight of heavier ornaments. It seems like most artificial trees are stronger branches, but the bushier shape And fullness. I don't think I've ever seen an artificial tree like yours that you made

Beautifully done! I really like the barer, old fashioned trees like this. They’re so much more realistic. People tend to make them ridiculously full and fluffy in miniature and then put in a Victorian house. No. 😆

Thank you so so much, Joyce You're always so kind 💗🙏 She absolutely LOVES it! She was too excited to wait till December first so she opened it the night we arrived 😄 which made me happy so I could see her reaction 😄 We had such a fun holiday. The snow was unreal this year. Skiing, sledging, building giant snowwomen and her pet cat. So much fun! They're still standing in her garden now 3weeks later. It was awesome and a true winter wonderland. Merry Christmas Joyce ❤️🎄🧑‍🎄🎅

Those tiny little presents! They are wrapped and decorated nicer than the real ones I do! LOL. EVERYTHING you did is just wonderful! I kept thinking, "Oh, he can't top that." And then you did! Just beautiful. I must have somehow missed one of your videos, maybe? I didn't know you had been injured. My best for a very speedy healing! Hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

@marygatdula2744 Thank you so much, Mary ☺️ I do love those tiny presents. My life-sized ones never look that pretty either. Must be a very special gift if I put a bow on it 🤣 you haven't missed one. This is my first since going on holiday. I fractured my humerus whilst skiing so wasn't expecting to be able to create until after Christmas. All my original project plans have had to change, but I am now comfortable enough making small things that can be made up close to my body and have no weight to them. But, it looks like I only have to wear the sling until mid-January when I start physio. I hope so anyway🙏 Wishing you a very merry Christmas Mary 🤶🎄❤️🎅🥰

Best miniture tree I have seen this season! You are always such a pleasure to watch work and very professionally done. Great use of nail decals. I just love those little things they come in so handy. I would have a bow on top of the tree underneath the topper, but that’s just what I do IRL. You probably know this but try wrapping tape around the tip of your glue bottle to form a smaller point and I put my glue on the object then it is less fiddly. Plus if I drop it sticks where it fell and I don’t have to chase it around. These days I drop a lot! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! And hope that your arm heals quickly ❤

Thank you so much, Christina 😀 I really appreciate that ❤️ Ya know, I kept looking at it and was thinking of the disconnect from the topper to the tree... genius idea!! I will make a big matching bow tomorrow. Thank you! And thank you for the glue tip too. This glue is by far my favourite but I do wish it had a fine tip option. Im messy with it too 😄 I will try it on my next miniature which I'm starting tomorrow. Merry Christmas to you too 🥰

That makes two of us Mary 😄 I had my second x-ray a few days ago and the bone Dr said it's time to start moving my elbow so I see that as it's time to craft miniatures. 😅 As long as I don't move my shoulder and Instay in my sling, I should be fine. Was awkward to film in this situation but I was going insane with boredom so a I am so happy to start going again. Happy holidays to you too Mary ☺️❤️🧑‍🎄🎄

I am currently in a sling 🫣 I fractured my humerus whilst skiing, visiting Inga with the advent calendar 3 weeks ago. Right up in the shoulder. It's healing well and all in one piece so and looks like I should be able to get rid of it by mid-January 🤞 which I can't wait for. Crafting hasn't been easy the last few days since being told I need to start to move my elbow and wrist but SO happy to be sitting at my table again making the little things I love ❤️ Wishing you a wonderful Merry Christmas Teresa. ❤️🎄🧑‍🎄🎅
