Crafts from Trimmings off of Xmas tree?

[mookie]

Anyone crafty? We have branches from the bottom of our Christmas tree that we cut off. I'd hate to see them go to waste, but I'm not entirely crafty either. Anyone make anything simple from these? Or am I being overambitious and should just throw them away?

You can get some floral wire and tie them together end to end and make garland or loop for a wreath, or put a group of them facing one way and another group the other way and wire together in the middle to have a centerpiece for your table or a nice piece to hang over a door-- add a festive ribbon in the middle.

I always make a flower arrangements with them. Cut them to the right length, put in vase of water, Add some red or white carnations through out, maybe a few gold swirly floral arrangement decorations (Michaels has them)...Easy, and makes a nice centerpiece or arrangement for an occasional table.
