So I had to do all my projects at my Mom's because we have crazy cats that eat things. It took 6 hours, 180 leaves, 2 burns (from the hot glue gun ) and 10 battery operated votives but my tree is FINALLY finished. The pictures don't do it justice at all - it looks so much better in person - I just hope my photographer can take some good pictures of it. It's 5 feet high. It was originally going to be my placecard holder, I was going to write the names on the tags, but I decided I didn't want people pawing all over it and possibly knocking it down or anything, so I have another crazy idea for placecards. All the candles under the tree are also battery operated, but I didn't have all the batteries in them yet.
Here it is lit, but there's only like half of them lit because I need more batteries...
It's so big in person but it looks small to me in the pictures
