Fresh trees are sooo expensive. We always buy a Noble Fir, but this year we decided to try a Frasier Fir because it cost considerably less but has a very similar look. I LOVE it! It is really pretty and the branches have almost a silvery look in some light. I was excited to make a new tree topper for it, so last night when we decorated I left the topper off.
Tonight this is what I made.
Last night we put up the tree. Hubby put the lights on for me. But I used my flash when I took the picture, so it is hard to tell :)

Our outdoor kitty was so happy that we have an inside tree :)
I saw a cool idea on mudpies blog to use book pages to make a tree topper. Last weekend while enjoying a weekend away with hubby for our anniversary I found a book of sheet music for a couple of dollars in an Antique Mall. I decided to use it to make my own :) I have never liked my tree topper, so I really hoped it turned out. I LOVE it!!!!!
I inked the edges with chalk ink to add to the vintage look. I am so happy with the way it turned out!!!!!!!
So pretty!!!!
Our kitten seems to enjoy the tree as well.

You tree topper turned out great! I just made a wreath out of old book papers. It was so much fun to create! Happy holidays!
The use of music sheets are so hot right now! Very clever using it as a tree topper. Thank you for linking up to "Amaze Me Monday" blog party. I hope to see you next week!
I LOVE it Sarah, it looks great!! :) Can't wait to see the wreath! :) Did people sign your tree skirt or does it just look like it? If so what's the significance?
Another amazing sheet music wreath, and a new creative use! Good job.

Thanks for all of the nice comments everyone, and I will link up again next week Carrie. This was such a fun project to make and I LOVE how it turned out!
Good eye Chrystie! Since we got married at Christmas time we had our guests sign a creamy velvet tree skirt instead of a guest book I would never use. I love pulling it every year and looking at what everyone wrote! I was worried that it would wash out when I washed it the first time, but the fabric pens I used have stayed bright through many washings!
Very cute! I did one very similar about 1 1/2 months ago...I think yours turned out better though. LOVE IT!

LOL,mudpies and marigolds. YOU are the one I got my inspiration from. I loved the post on your blog about the wreath you did. I posted a linky to your blog and gave you credit about a third of the way down my post :) Thanks for the great idea!!!!
Mudpies and marigolds, I just went back to your blog and looked and I commented on how I was going to copy your idea back on November 9th. I guess I finally got around to it :)
I kinda wondered if that was what it was, very cool! :)
This is amazing! I love the way it turned.. I have been looking for tree topper ideas.. this may be the winner! Thanks for sharing with the Pink Hippo Party!
Love it! The cat is cute too!
Very sweet! I like the sheet music! It's very festive!
