Small trees might seem weeny
when you're eyeing them in the store or tree lot, but they're cheap and
don't take up all that much space -- characteristics that any
square-footage challenged, budget-minded quasi-adult is sure to
appreciate.
|
Small trees also have another advantage over their more
impressively-sized brethren: you need a lot fewer ornaments to fill them
out. Still, there's something pathetic about a tree that's so short
you're in danger of trampling it. To give my midget tree a little more
height, therefore, I propped it up on a cardboard box. Meanwhile, the
humble bed sheet offers so much more decorating potential than just its
intended purpose of covering a mattress -- it can be transformed into
curtains, pillowcases, tablecloths … or in this case, a no-sew tree
skirt that does a dandy job of hiding both the box and the ugly plastic
tree stand. |
