Plastic Spoon Tree - tree in the gardenHere's a fun and easy way to make a chic looking tree for the holidays, or any time of the year. I think they look lovely both indoors and outdoors. All you need are plastic spoons, a piece of paper, and hot glue. The bigger the paper, the taller the tree. I used a huge paper insert from a package and about 75 spoons to make a pretty tall tree. Have fun!

And when this item is not being used as a Christmas tree, it can be used to impress your friends in a different way (at least from a distance).

Yucca plants are beautiful when in bloom but the blooms don't last very long. By placing this 'tree' in your yucca plant, it will look as if the plant is always in bloom.
