Crystal Tomato Cage Tree

 My generous friend gave me these crystals because I had an idea to make simple holiday tree of just crystals hanging from a tomato cage.  I see that I need to add one or two more rows of wire to fill it in more.  Then maybe some type of light or large candle for the inside.  It will make an unusual centerpiece.

Wow, those crystals are great. I hope you share a picture when you make the tree and have it in a tablescape.

Gene, thank you so much! We'll see if it gets any further. Ha.

Ditto Gene, eager to see it! What could be better than glass and light??

Hi Marlene, Funny you would feature crystals like that. I just found a tutorial for using crystals to make custom photo ornaments and am working on them this week-end, just to see how they turn out. Here's a link to the tutorial if you want to check it out. I think I found it on Pinterest: http://www.rookno17.com/2012/11/crystal-pendant-family-photo-ornaments.html

I LOVE the photo idea….even better! I think the crystals will sparkle on a green holiday tree with sparkling lights. As I am moving this around, it makes me nervous as I don't want to break any of them.
