Twirl up a tree fi t for any
mountain cabin with a
menagerie of woodland-
inspired pieces.
BASE Choose a small- or
medium-size galvanized
bucket as your vessel.
ORNAMENTS Think
of the pheasants as the
headliners, and add
a supporting cast of
woodsy oak leaf, acorn, and
feather pieces all around.
Fill empty spots with shiny
blue globes.
GARLAND Stick with simple
string lights. The shimmery
ornaments will accentuate
the glow from the bulbs.
TOPPER Create a unique
crown of pinecones.
Spray-paint three to fi ve of
them gold, and then secure
each one to a fl exible wire
stem with pieces of fl orist
wire. Finally, twist the fl orist
wire around at the top of
the tree until it’s secure.
