Crystal Trees, All Fancied Up! #Crystals #Crafts #ArtsAndCrafts Yay! : )


Pink Crystal Tree, even prettier! lol!
Yellow and Purple Crystal Tree -- so easy and fun to make, and so very pretty!

These wee Crystal Trees are super easy to make, and you'll only need the pre-made colored clay pot and tree from the Dollar Store (how much are they??  lol!  A DOLLAR! Looove the Dollar Store!) -- they'll probably be in the Easter section, with all the other pastel things! 

The 'crystals' come from a different Dollar Store, and are $2 a package, and they have a little hole in the top of each crystal.

Take the wire part of the tree top, and separate the wires out,  they'll be covered in white tape, so the wire will be thick enough to hold the crystals in place without glue (although, you could easily add some glue if that happens to appeal to you!).  Just put one crystal on the end of each wire 'banch', and loop around once to secure the crystal. I like the crystals to hang, so I like them loose, but if you feel like adding the glue, you probably won't need to loop the wire, just glue the crystal on straight to the end of the wire branch.

I really love bling (clearly! lol!), so I put a little pile of crystals around the base of the tree, too -- all very pretty, and makes a lovely wee Easter Gift.   The crystals will cast light and rainbows around the room, so all very pretty!  You can make rainbow wishes all day long, if you like! lol!

I found some lovely 'branches' at Michael's, pulled them apart, and pushed them into the pot around the Crystal Tree, to surround the Crystal Tree with the Flowering Branches.

I had initially just gone into Michael's to look for the tiny roses, I thought they would be soo pretty around the base of the Crystal Trees, and look how nicely they turned out!  I loove to look at them!  Will be hard to part with them, but they make lovely wee gifts : )


It's impossible for me to ever make just one of anything! lol!

The 'original' Yellow Crystal Tree -- so pretty for Easter, or any time of year : )

I am clearly obsessed with thee lovely little Crystal Trees -- and they cast little rainbows all around the room -- soo pretty!
