Amazing Look for Less Christmas Dupes! | Kirkland’s and Pottery Barn Dupes

[@kathleenchalmers8234]

Just found your web site. Love it! What do you call the battery operated lights you wound around the birch bark christmas trees? I am having trouble finding small lights that twinkle. Fairy lights don’t and may burn paper if left on too long and I do want different ones to go on or off (twinkle) and be safe can anyone help? Thanks and hugs to all.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Hi Kathleen! So happy to have you here. I looked online and they don’t make the brand I used anymore but here’s some on Amazon that I think may work. Hope this helps. 💗 a.co/d/f9HZyZu

[@christiewade7184]

The birch tree is perfect

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thank you Christie 💗💗💗

[@TAKAMATOO]

Love the trees and the North Pole sign

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thank you Linda! Have a nice evening 💗💗💗

[@Ohwhale79]

Wow, I'm surprised at how well that birch bark tree came out, it's absolutely gorgeous! I really love the twine at the top, and the twinkle lights are such a whimsical touch. I never would have thought to put the Christmas lights down first and then add decoration on top of them, that's really smart! (Hi sweet kitty!!!! 🐈)

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thank you! I did it that way so the green wires wouldn’t show. 💗💗💗

[@crm208]

Pretty projects, and your little fur baby is so sweet..😺

[@pattycakey1]

I love how you finish the backs of your projects…so many diy ers do not and if you are spending the time making the front look nice and professional, why not finish it off? Great ideas

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thank you Pat. I agree 💗💗💗

[@miriamring1082]

As a florist of 50 yrs. I was professionally taught to finish off the back of our arrangements......just the classy thing to do!!

[@meetvirginia7023]

I agree I like when the back is finished. I think a lot of channels aren’t going to actually use their DIY. So they probably don’t care. Just my opinion 🙂

The tree was fantastic. I purchased a red, white and blue real one from Home Goods for $7 on sale, of course and spray painted it a brilliant gold metallic color. Then, I added some greenery on top and a star. Came out great. I would like a partner but make it. Does anyone know where to find some real wood pieces? Thanks.

[@22ERICSHELLY]

Thanks! Love the tree! Can you do a video on Nativity Sets? May Jesus continue to bless you and your family

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thank you. I will see about a nativity craft. Maybe I can come up with something. 💗💗💗

[@sherilynalexnder897]

Love all of these, thanks! Dollar Tree usually carries white sand, or you can get it at other craft stores, and that would work well to raise the candle in the taller vase. To save a bit of time on cutting out the birch leaves, you could cut strips of the painted paper, and stack them. Draw a leaf on the top strip, and cut stacks of leaves in one go. Before gluing the birch leaves on, stuff the cone with wadded up newspaper or the craft paper to give it a bit more stability.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Great ideas! Thanks for watching 💗💗💗

It looked like your "assistant" was more a detriment than a help! I agree with you that the tree was fabulous, but so was the first dupe. The two were so much alike, and so much money was saved. The Northpole sign was also adorable! Great projects

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Haha I don’t mind my “helpers” They are usually just a little curious and then move on to napping. Thanks for the sweet compliments 💗💗💗

[@vintagelady1]

Love the birch tree, but what a lot of extra work! I would cut a strip of the paper, fold it into squares the size of a petal, & cut out 5-10 at a times. Then I'd stack a group & curl them and be ready to glue. But such a nice dupe--I wasn't going to do any Xmas crafts this year (burned out on Halloween) but I might do this one.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Hi vintage lady! After I had already cut most of my “petals” I did think of doing something like that but I was already about done 😂 Maybe you’ll gat back into the crafting spirit after a little break. 💗💗💗

[@tammysimpson2331]

Petal cutting hack: after painting the paper and letting it dry, accordion fold the paper slightly wider than the length of the petal. Trace the petal template several times down the strip of folded paper, then cut the petals. I’m able to easily get 10 layers of petals for every one that I cut.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]
