I have never found a suitable crown for my tree; each year I have settled with a wobbly snowflake that was ok, but didn't look great.
This year, I wanted something different, so, off to Hobby Lobby I went. After perusing the aisles and coming across little that was both unique AND inexpensive, I left empty-handed.
Once home, I inspected my own selection of Christmas decor, and came across this wreath that I made a few years ago from a couple of garlands...
I began cutting...
And cut some more...
And began randomly placing sprigs throughout the top branches, until I had achieved wangly tree-top perfection!
I like it. Different, but cute.
And, best of all, free!
And, best of all, free!

It is perfect. I love it. Goes with the tree and gives it that jazz look.
Well done
I think it's perfect! And you can't beat free!
Love it! The best ideas are the ones that are different. My trees are somewhat similar to yours. Kind of like the tree has a spiky haircut!! Mine has long candy canes and silver wheat. Whn I write it out, it sounds weird. Promise it looks better than it sounds!!
It really is very cute and whimsical. You can't beat free!!!
Super cute! It turned out really well.
Hi Kristin!!! I Love it!!! You could even go tot he party store and get those metallic "sprays" in different colors... I like the "Spray Topper" idea... I haven't seen any "tree toppers" that really "tickle my fancy"... this is fun AND different!
Thanks for sharing!
Lala :o)
It is perfect and I am going to redo mine now so that is full at the top like yours. Thanks for sharing!

I love it!! Looks so pretty, and goes perfectly with your color theme. Beautiful!
I'm impressed with the creativity. You've done a great job. I've never seen anything like it. You deserve some sort of award for originality. Martha Stewart -- eat your heart out! :-)

I love the wild, sprigy look! Oh, I really want one too! Love that is was free and I love oyur wrapping paper! Your on the ball!
That looks adorable! I am definitely going to do something like this with my tree this year:)
Hey, I have a wobbly snowflake on my tree too. Hmmm...
That is great! You have inspired me, and I don't have time to be inspired. I just hope that I can get my tree up by Friday!
Ohh I LOVE that, how creative, I never would have thought of that, uh oh wondering if I have any of the stuff to make my own hehe, Carm
Okay, that is spectacular. I only see creations like that in high-end boutiques. Way to go!!!
Nice!
I'm with you. I haven't been able to find just the right tree topper. I may have to get all crafty on that baby!
That is really pretty! I always have trouble finding the right tree topper, too. We have an ugly star right now. Maybe I'll try your idea:)
I love the way this turned out! Very creative!
I like it too! Way to reduce reuse recycle! Darling tree.
That is DARLING!!
Awesome idea!! I love it!
What a great idea! I love this! I don't have a topper either b/c I don't really like any of the ones I've seen to buy. Thanks for the idea.
