The sweetest, vintage-inspired tabletop tinsel Christmas trees designed to decorate your larder, pantry, breakfast table, mantel, kitchen dresser or benchtop.

I've made just two of these miniature trees in a pretty rose gold tinsel, 'planted' in my very cherished collection of upcycled jars that once housed delicious Long Clawson Blue Stilton Cheese - a Christmas classic itself! The pot has ben crafted by London Pottery.

Each is set with plaster in the base so they have some weight and can withstand a few ornaments hanging from the tree.

Each tree measures about 53cm high and about 8cm wide at the jar base.

Sold individually. Two available. The pair would be wonderful on a mantel or dining table.

Each comes finished with a ribbon and label hanging from a vintage brass pin, ready for gifting or display.

These trees have moveable wire branches and will need arranging on arrival. 

Of course there are countless ideas for decorating your miniature tree, but here are some simple ideas that are beyond your traditional Christmas ornaments:

Use it as an Advent calendar by attaching small numbered envelopes, or individually wrapped sweets, with little wooden pegs;

Hang some small dried orange slices or gingerbread biscuits as edible decorations;

String some popcorn and hang as a garland or make a miniature paper chain by stapling torn strips of music sheet or pages of an old paperback;

For a truly culinary theme, hang a set of mini cookie cutters, glass fruit/vegetable ornaments, or toy-sized utensils with pretty ribbon;

Simple scraps of linen fabric tied into bows on each branch can look charming on their own!

Please note: none of my Christmas trees are suitable for children.
