EZ Tree
A hooked-needle, cloth Christmas tree with benefits for you and the environment | |
1. Remove the frame from the box, and extend the telescopic trunk and folding, hexagon base to the desired size.
2. Drape the triangular-shaped, light and dark green-splotched cloth on the frame with the hooked needles outward. Tuck any excess underneath.
3. Clamp on Xmas lighting, and then
proceed to throw on the 20 enclosed, loop-covered decorations.
4. Feel free to apply the 30 sticky loop pads to other decorations to press them into service. A few squirts of our pine scent mist will make the illusion complete.
At the end of the season, just roll up the cloth with decorations and next year’s preparations will be even easier.

Good grief. Why don't you just get your kids to draw a tree on a large sheet of paper? Ugh. |

Hold on, where's the clock? |

Truly though I don't like this idea. Most decorations look much better hanging than stuck on. It also sounds like it would be pretty bad aesthetically speaking, no real depth to the decoration and lights. |

I know, it's quick and ugly. Don't take it too seriously. |

waugs: No, but I've got to keep them down to once a week, or many would think that it's getting old. Got a humdinger for Monday. |

bliss: But, this is velcro, at least the male half, or do you mean like sprayed on a real tree? |

I think one of the nice things about christmas trees is the time and co-operation it takes to get one looking good. Time spent co-operating with the family is good for the soul, if not for the blood pressure. |

What's all this about time? |

Well... I guess I could put it outside and use it as a sundial. |
