Handmade decor alternative to a Christmas tree (also cat safe)

    Inspiration for this little project came because I have several cats who seem to have a particular climbing interest if anything resembling a tree is brought into our home. And yes that means that sometimes they see me as a tree too. But I still wanted something green and christmas-y at home so figured that a simpler wall decoration would bring just that.

    1. Ingredient list is rather short - just need to collect a assortment of evergreen branches ( here I got several types), but honestly anything green will do just fine.

    2. For a Christmas feel I added some decorations. 

    3. I also used some dead branches with wilted seed pods still attached to give it some diversity and composition, then combined everything like a flower bouquet. Here I used a ziptie to hold everything firmly together. I later hid the ziptie by wrapping a rough jute string and made a loop to hang it on a wall.
