We Made A Floating Christmas Tree From Reflective Foam Insulation, And Here’s The Result
5Kviews
Every year my husband and I create our own Christmas tree from random materials. This year our tree floats! We used reflective foam insulation to create 3d snowflakes in different sizes. Because the fabric was so light, we were able to hang the entire thing from the ceiling with a fishing line and a few nail hooks. Luckily in the dark, the fishing line is barely visible. Here’s how it turned out:

It’s very pretty. I’m guessing you don’t have cats?
Oh no, if we did it would be a swing! XD
It's awesome!!!
Yes, very pretty and unique.
Thank you! We try to make it a different style each year.
Emily - how do you come up with your ideas? Please post some other trees. :-) Thank you.
I post them every year actually! Most of them are on my profile
Thank you!! Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year to you and your hubby!!
Same to you! Also, how we choose what we make the tree from each year depends on what material we have the most of at the time lol
Makes sense. What do you do with the trees after you've used them?
Thank you!
Clever! And beautiful!
