Unique Christmas Trees

Are you a procrastinator like me?
Do you wait until the last minute to go buy your Christmas tree
only to find that the lot sold out?
No worries.
Here are some ideas that you can use to improvise.
Keep in mind,
I'm not saying they're good alternatives, but they are options.

Via

 String some lights on your step ladder, 
put a couple ornaments on the strings, and
Voila, instant tree.


Have some recycling that you haven't turned in yet?
Perfect, make a tree out of it.
(Kind of reminds me of college, and all the beer
bottles/cans we used to stack up).


We could have actually done this in our house
when the kids were younger.
Lexx had so many stuffed animals, 
there was almost a constant pile like this anyways.


If you save up your egg cartons throughout the year,
and have a painting party, you could have 
this little beauty in YOUR house.


And last but not least, the book tree.
Although, I'm not so sure the setup is fire safe.
Light bulbs and paper probably aren't a great combination.

So I hope this got some creative juices flowing for you.
It just goes to show with little time and llittle money,
you can always come up with tacky alternatives.
