Have you seen people making Christmas trees out of regular old stuff?
Last year Laura at Finding Home made one out of toolboxes and crates.
Laurel at Chipping With Charm has a stacked bench Christmas tree.
And just this week, I saw Donna at Funky Junk Interiors had made her crate wall into a Christmas tree like thing complete with a measuring tape garland.
So voila, I give you my Redmon picnic basket Christmas tree!
OK, so I pretty much always have this stack of picnic baskets sitting here. But by putting a star-like thing on top, all of a sudden it takes on a whole ‘nother look.
The wooden star box is actually a candle holder with one of those battery powered votives in it (didn’t want to risk lighting my tree baskets on fire). It looks extra festive at night!
So start stacking, people. Anything can be a tree if you have the Christmas spirit!

You’re absolutely right, Pam! One can use their imagination and construct a tree about of anything. And this one is beautiful. I envy your collection of picnic baskets!

Love it, Pam! Wonderful collection! I like making what you already have look festive!
Carlene @ Organized Clutter
My kind of tree! Love it!

Perfect! I have 18 Redmon Baskets – so I could make a forest! I have a child’s toy Redmon that would top of the tree perfectly. You and I could never go thrifting together – we love the very same things!

Sweet. Is that a paper star balanced against it?
Pam Kessler
It’s a wooden box that has a star cutout. Supposed to be a votive type candle holder.
