Okay, this one I cheated and did over Fall Break. Accordingly, it did require a trip to Wal-Mart. In my town, a local charity has people decorate trees which they then auction off. With my love of Starbucks, glitter, and Christmas, my tree idea was a match made in heaven.
All summer I had been saving the metal caps to the Starbucks bottled frappuccinos. Those things are sturdy and just have too much potential to throw away. I washed them up, sprayed them with silver glitter, drilled a hole in the top (thanks Dad for letting me borrow your drill!). Using green floral wire (which yes, is just lying around my house) I strung them from the tree.
I also added lights, a little cheap ribbon and some ball ornaments from Michaels, and a star I found online for the top.
Note: My mom had to bring it to the event because I was back at school. She added the napkins tree skirt and the two gifts. Btw the tree made a couple hundred dollars. Not bad for a couple bucks and some frappuccino caps!
