Its So Very Creative-Our kids themed Christmas Trees–Its Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

by CHERI on November 29, 2009

Lots of changes are coming.

I have the kids trees pretty much completed.  I actually have 2 more things to get done on Miss G4s tree but I can add those in.

Here is Each of the G-Force kids trees:

I know this is ALL new but in an effort to clean up my front page I have added the READ MORE feature.  Just click on the button and you can post to the party.  I will also be making my posts shorter so you can click on several different posts rather than one long post.


So here are the G-Force kids trees:  (drum roll please)  I hope you love them as much as we do.

sorry the code is messed up-I have e-mailed the person and waiting for a response on how to fix it.  If you click on the post title it will take you to the full post.


G1 (12 years old and more knowledgable about a this sport than you can image.  He knows, just about any players information,even the ones before MY time–by heart)

Yes a Baseball Theme:
Complete with boxes of Cracker Jacks and a We’re number one finger.
I hand painted his baseball ornaments.  Just got some tubes of ornaments from Dollar Tree and painted them, then we added in some Red Balls. 

I printed off some of his favorite players and attached them to foam, then modge podged them.  I made a couple of pennants (still have the Yankees to finish.)

This is normally the tree I use for my Gingerbread tree but he is getting to use it this year.  The red lights and the wicker balls that go over the lights work perfectly with his red white, royal and navy blue theme.

G2  has always wanted to go on vacation to this place so it was a natural choice for his tree.

Yes we went DOWN UNDER MATE–to Australia.  His Tree Topper is some Peacock feathers.  I painted all of his animal print ornaments.

Of course any Australian tree has to have a kangaroo with a baby in its pouch.  We also had to have a Croc and a snake to have an authentic tree.
Do you see those pieces of luggage–I made those too.  You will never guess what they are made out of———
D
Bars of Soap.  Then I covered them in packing paper, added handles, printed off old luggage tags, distressed it and we had a variety of well worn luggage.

G3–my wild child–always full of energy.  There was no better theme for him ans he LOVES it.

A WILD WEST COWBOY from none other than THE G-FORCE RANCH.  I made all of his little signs.  We got the 3 horses from Dollar Tree and I picked up rope from the hardware store, added in a bandana and some ornaments–mostly red but a few silver and gold. I found some Gold star ornaments and we painted them so they were no longer a shiny gold but looked more rustic. Yee-Haw, ya’ll come back now.
 

 






Miss G4 could have nothing less than a pink tree.

 I am still working on her crown tree topper but have the feathers up there.  I used one of her tutus that I made her for her tree skirt..

I draped the tree in tule and made all of her French fleur ornaments and her cup cake ornaments.
I just love those cupcakes.
She has pink lights with pink wires too. You can never hve too much pink.
 
This was very fun to do each one in a different theme and they cost me very little, since I made al,ost everything or had things on hand.  Out of all 4 trees I bought some ball ornaments, the 3 horses and the bars of soap from Dollar Tree.  I got a bandanna and some rope.  Everything else we had on hand and made all of these trees for virtually nothing.

Very cute Cheri! I bet it feels awesome to have made each of your children their very own tree and you were able to do it without burning a hole in the family budget! Well done!!

Cheri=don't think your "read more" button works??

4 Peg @ Bloomfield Farm November 29, 2009 at 10:12 pm

Your trees are all so pretty! I think it's really neat that each child has a tree of his very own. My favorite is the cowboy tree.

5 Janis@White Alder[Home] November 29, 2009 at 10:30 pm

WOW how amazing, it must have taken you ages to decorate all those. I'm sure your children will have the best memories of their special trees.

6 The Persimmon Perch November 29, 2009 at 10:32 pm

That is amazing. I'm so tired after decorating one tree. I know that your children will have wonderful memories of all the work that went into making their Christmas special. Thanks for posting to Made it Monday! Jules

I know your children are loving them!

Wow! Your kids are lucky to have such a creative mama 🙂 Each one so unique, and you obviously put much thought into each theme. Wonderful!

Thanks for linking up to Mi4M, Cheri 🙂
peace.

Hi Cheri!
I love these trees. My daughter decorated her tree last night. She wants a special topper this year ~ we'll have to make it soon.

I am having something today right up your alley ~ an art glass holiday ornament giveaway! Come see the beautiful ornaments and enter to win!
Happy Monday!

I agree. You can never have too much pink! : ) These are all so cute and different ~ the kids must be thrilled with them.

14 Randi November 30, 2009 at 11:12 pm

Those trees are fantastic! Thanks for sharing them.

15 rebecca @ older and wisor November 30, 2009 at 11:22 pm

16 Tracychele @ The Week-Ender December 1, 2009 at 10:29 am

I LOVE all of them! I bet little Miss feels like such a princess! You have given some great ideas, as always! Have a great day!

17 Sarah December 1, 2009 at 8:05 pm

I love, LOVE, L-O-V-E the tutu tree skirt. It's so fabulous that I might make one for my real tree. LOVE IT!!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
God's blessings, Sarah 😀

18 Gina Sisco December 1, 2009 at 10:53 pm

Cheri,

Your trees are over-the-top fabulous. Huge fan of the pink tree. I have ONE tree and am still working, tweaking. Driving me crazy!! It is pretty, but not where I want to be. Yours, however, are truly inspiring.

19 Heidi@TheCraftMonkey December 2, 2009 at 10:02 am

so much fun (and creativity) and work! the kids trees are stunning, they are lucky little kiddos to have a crafty mama like you!

20 Cathy December 2, 2009 at 1:49 pm

I love you kid's trees. Themed trees are a great idea! Also, your posts don't seem to be showing up in my reader??? I'm sure it's one of those annoying computer problems. Oh, and I'd love to do a feature on your projects. I'll let you know when – maybe next week. Thanks!

21 Paige December 4, 2009 at 12:31 am

Wow! What great trees. I think my favorite is the baseball tree. I need to remember this idea for my nephews next year! Thanks for sharing.

22 Amanda December 4, 2009 at 2:46 am

such a cute idea!

23 Katherine @ Grass Stains December 4, 2009 at 2:21 pm

So cute, Cheri! I would love — at some point — to do individual trees for my boys. For now, since two of them share a room, I just do the one Star Wars tree for them because they all love it. Maybe during the after-Christmas sale this year I'll pick up two more small trees so I'll be ready next year!

24 Shelia December 10, 2009 at 10:23 am

Somebody's been so busy! Your trees are fantastic!
Merry Christmas and be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
