A Christmas Tree Urn

Last year, I put my big tree in a garden urn that I had picked up yardsaling. It’s one of those plastic urns and it was an OK color, but this year I decided to make it officially my Christmas urn and painted it a bronzey color to better go with my tree and Christmas decor.

I found a can of Brown Metallic Hammered by Krylon Fusion spraypaint which is good for plastic and went to town spray painting my urn. IMG_7719

Now, doesn’t that look a LOT better?!  Fitting the tree in there is not a big problem, however, you may want to secure it with some bricks or rocks at the bottom.  It has a tendency to slide over, but once it is up and finished, it shouldn’t be a problem.  I did this last year and didn’t lose it, so I have high hopes for this one too.IMG_7718

I did put a couple of big rocks in the bottom and that helps anchor it a whole bunch, so if you get a wild hair and want to try this, do that little trick too.IMG_7827

Our Christmas party was so much fun!  Good times with our friends and everything was delicious.   I’ll report in on that later, too tired right now! It’s been a hectic few days.

Thank you ALL so much for joining the Christmas tour this year, I’m just thrilled with how many stopped by and linked up.  I am going to try to get by to every single one of you and see Christmas as your house too, I just haven’t had a minute to slow down and catch up, but I will soon!

I had a lot of fun as a guest for my friend, Shannon with Southern Beauty on Blog Talk Radio, and if you’d like to listen in, you can catch it here, we talked about Christmas decorating.  I came in about 15 minutes into the show:
