Pinterested? How I turned my planter into a Christmas tree

I'm working on trying to complete some of the many fabulous projects and ideas I've pinned on Pinterest, and I'm excited to share some of those results with you!

Here's out mesh ribbon Christmas tree! One of my bestest friends introduced me to the joy of wire mesh ribbon this holiday season and I'm in love! First, she talked me into using it as garland on my Barbie tree. Then my Disney/Star Wars tree looked naked. Then she and her mama helped me make a wreath. Then I made one on my own. I may even share some of those pics, too!

And then I saw some mesh ribbon Christmas trees made from tomato cages similar to the one below at Pat Catans.

I thought they were cute, but since I didn't have any tomato cages and wasn't quite motivated enough to buy one, I filed it in the memory bank. Until this weekend when I was looking at my planter that needed to be put away (finally!).

I thought to myself, "Hmmmm...it's no tomato cage, but maybe..."

So simple—and I just used my leftover mesh ribbon. And I love the ribbon from Sam's Club—it's so much softer and nicer to work with than what I bought in other craft stores.

So, what do you think?
