I love these little gingerbread  men! This tree sits at the edge of my dining room.

This is a very thin, 6ft tree. It is fast and easy to decorate. I did it while my Thanksgiving side dishes were cooking--less than one hour.  I have two of these thin trees and usually do one each side of the dining room table. I may do the second one this week.

I finished the second dining room tree today. It has snowmen, mice and candy cane ornaments that I made on it.  Can use guess what the snowmen are made from? Close-up view is below.

If you guessed LIGHTBULBS, you are correct! They are burned out lightbulbs covered with a snowlike paint. The hats are made by melting foam cups in the oven and then painting them.  One man's trash, is another woman's treasure!
