Normally this post is reserved for pictures of my Christmas tree and home decorations, however, This year we (
Sew Crafty) were invited to be a part of the St Luke's Church (Maidenhead)
Christmas tree festival! We headed over to decorate our tree last night and to see all the other trees of course. I thought I would take you with me.
The Church looked A-mazing filled with 49 real Christmas trees, it looked and smelled like the most beautiful Christmas tree party ever.
The trees had all been decorated by local schools, clubs, organisations and businesses. Some of my favourites were by our friend Head Candy who had decorated her's with some of her beautiful facinators and the Choo Choo Tree by a local preschool decorated with train tickets and pieces of a wooden train set.
The W.I. had made a lovely crafty effort with some cute crochet characters and Claire's Court School had used hand prints to make a friendship tree.
Our tree, of course, was Haberdashery themed! We tried to stick to our brand colour scheme which is yellow, aqua and silver grey, not totally Christmassy but I think it still worked out really well.
We filled clear baubles with sequins, threads, zips and buttons, and stranded pompom fringe and tape measures through the branches.
My favourite part of our tree is the star I made a from scissor shapes that I cut out of silver card with my silhouette cutting machine. Our Tree did look a little sparse compared to some of the others, but in our defence we had allowed for a much smaller tree than we got... I think we ended up with the biggest tree in the church, and it is on a pedestal right in the middle of the alter... no pressure!
I Love how it turned out and hopefully all the people who visit over the weekend will like it and all the other trees too. Head over to
St Luke's website so you can find out more about the
Christmas Tree Festival, or check your local churches or community centres to see if is something similar near to you.
I hope you enjoyed that little look at our
Haberdashery tree and the rest of the festival, have you put your tree up yet? Have you made any of your decorations? We would love to see them, post a photo on Twitter or Instagram and #livelovemake so we can take a look.
Have a lovely weekend
