Holiday Project Number 2 ---- Spindle Tree -- Oh So Cute!!!

I picked up these adorable wheels with the greatest turq patina, then later found these spindles in yet another place. I have been saving them for this project for quite sometime now.

I got the inspiration for this project from Ki's blog over at Junk Camp about a year ago right before the holidays. She had posted a tree that a friend of hers had made, I loved it and have been thinking about it ever since........

This is what I started with, I "married" these wheels to the spindles to create one piece....

Made some curly, twisty wire branches with a small loop on the end, drilled some tiny holes for the wire to fit in.......

Placed some of those favorite old mercury ornaments to the ends of the branches.....

And soon my vision was coming to life.....

Little by little I was getting more and more excited......

Don't forget the star for the top, the last finishing touch....

And tahdah!!! Here it is.... the spindle tree I have been dreaming about for a year!

Until next time.... Cammie(:
