Ideas for discarded Christmas Tree branches

Don't throw away the branches cut off of the bottom of your Christmas tree, use them as extra greenery in your home. If you are like us, and still have the branches sitting in the garage, bring them out!! Here are a few ideas I'd like to share on how I used mine this year to "spruce up" my home this holiday season.

I arranged two branches in a simple vase. Then dressed it up with a sparkly ribbon I had and a matching ornament. You could also use some spray "frost" on the tips of the branches to add the illusion of snow, if you choose.
