Thanks for all the great comments on the videos and for not laughing! Y’all are great sports. I really don’t enjoy seeing myself on camera all that much, but I guess my accent isn’t too bad. I know there are a lot worse right here in Ala-bammer!
I’ve had this little tree for a long time that I put on the cupboard in my kitchen, but I was a little bored with the angel motif on the outside of the tin that it sits in. It was cute, but not all that appealing with my colors in there, so I decided to break out the Mod Podge again. Got some pretty striped Christmas paper at Hobby Lobby (of course!) with bright and cheery colors.
Made myself a template and cut out four pieces, one for each side of the metal tin.
Mod Podged that baby and now it blends better with my reds and greens in the kitchen.
Last year I had all green ornaments, but they really got lost on the green tree, so red to the rescue. I’m loving how the tin turned out and it really shows up now. These pics were taken with my camera settings a little bit different, so they are a bit more glowy and yellowy than normal, but I like the effect for Christmas.
Mr. Nutcracker joins the parade, along with my glass pedestal and cloche with some tiny ice skaters underneath.
I just threw the rest of these green balls in a glass dish for now.
Here’s a regular shot of the kitchen tree.
I really love it this year! I got those mitten ornaments last year on clearance from Pike Nursery, who went out of business right after Christmas.
Love those sparkly greens.
And a cute little bunny ornament looks out from the top of the tree.Hope you enjoyed more Holiday cheer from my kitchen. I can’t wait to get around and see everyone else’s Christmas decor this year.
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
That cloche vignette is to die for…brilliant, best thing ever!! I have a Christmas village that I am too lazy to set up this year, so this would be the perfect compromise!!
Thanks Rhoda!!

How beautiful! Very inspiring!!!
Beautiful inspirations!
I love the kitchen tree!
Very cute kitchen….very festive and creative!!
Wow – what a great table top tree idea! So much sturdier than just having one in a stand!
The redo of the tin is brilliant! I always forget how easy it is to create something new with mod podge. The paper you selected is perfect with your tree ornaments.
As always, your style and talent make your home a lovely, welcoming place.
You have been so busy! Christmas decorating all underway at your house. It’s the most fun time of the year for visiting on line.

OK I had to come back and delete that top part so I could add I just found your video! Hey, I’ve know you for ages, it was a cute and I couldn’t help but giggle just a little bit. But you were great!
Hey girl…that turned out beautiful…love that little tree and how you papered over the container…You just make everything look so grand and gorgeous! Hope you have a great weekend!
awesome job covering the tin, Rhoda! Love it!!!
Rho…things certainly are looking very festive at your place. Looove the bunny in the hat…does he still have his California accent?
I love what you did with the tin!!! It is adorable. You’ve got my creative juices thinking. I’m on my way to Hobby Lobby for some cute paper and am going to rummage through the house to look for something to modge podge. Thanks for the inspiration.
Fabulous Kitchen tree-
I absolutely love what you did with your cloche- That will be on my list of things to do next year-
Merry Christmas
