I love the mirrored tiles and think one could use them any number of ways. The gumdrop tree is one I made for my little ones one time. A little different than the one you shared but sort of the same idea. I glued gumdrops on to a styrofoam cone with icing and it was pretty and the children loved it. Thanks for sharing at No Place Like Home and Merry Christmas to you and those you love!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-12107114916862454942015-12-22T23:15:16.506+10:002015-12-22T23:15:16.506+10:00I've really enjoyed your orchids on a budget s...I've really enjoyed your orchids on a budget series.
