Mini Christmas Tree

Decorating a small tree for Christmas using a tiny galvanized pot & Dollar Tree ornaments, tinsel & lights!

I’m still undecided on what to do for a Christmas tree downstairs.

We have our OG tree upstairs.  The tree that we bought a long time ago & is probably all of 5 1/2 feet tall.  It served us well in our first house since we were super limited on space.  When we moved into our current home, I knew it would be perfect for upstairs.  We have this huge upstairs window that faces the road, so we just put our OG tree there.  It looks great & gives the illusion that we have our Christmas decorating going on!

Downstairs is a different story.  For our first Christmas here, we bought this massive tree!  Since we have such high ceilings in our living room, it looks awesome!  But earlier this year we bought new furniture, so I’m worried that our big tree won’t fit anymore!  Also, I’m not feeling the whole ‘dig out a 12ft+ tree from the basement & bring it upstairs’ aspect, either!  I have been so lazy this year when it comes to decorating & I’m not sure I have it in me to lug the tree & ornaments up from the basement!

So until I find some motivation, this little tree will have to work for now!  I got it on sale at JoAnn along with the metal pot!  I then just shoved the tree in there!  I’ve seen a lot of galvanized containers being used in the bigger trees, so I brought that vibe to my little tree!

For ornaments, lights & tinsel, Dollar Tree was the place to go!  I snagged the last of the tiny ornaments & got a gold star for the top of the tree!  Their small pack of lights worked out perfectly for the tree too!

I like these tiny trees because they can go almost anywhere there’s an outlet!
