HOW TO MAKE A TABLETOP CHRISTMAS TREE WITH VINTAGE JEWELRY | Christmas DIY Craft/Tutorial

[@pattyamyx7851]

Hello! i am so happy to find your channel. i just lost a dear lady who was 95 and so precious to me. I was able to inherit her handmade quilts, crochet and all her costume and some actual expensive Jewelry. She never had any grandchildren, just 2 sons. Only one still living and he was not interested in any of her things and does not live in this state. I really didn't have grandmothers, they both died so very young. So the Lord gave me this precious woman who loved me as if i was hers. I don't want to put it all away and never use it or see it. I want to do something very special with the jewelry and you have given me the perfect idea. I also want to make a few ornaments. Thanks again for sharing i so appreciate it. Patty, Boise ID

[@themadeupokie]

Hi Patty. I’m so sorry for your loss She sounds like a very special person indeed and you will honor her well by treasuring some of her collections. I love that this tree is a way to see the jewelry and potentially even wear again if you want. Good luck with the tree and ornaments. ❤️

[@keitheddie5]

Been planning to use my mom’s broaches (she passed 12 years ago) plus a bunch of other jewelry she and her sisters (my aunts) also left behind into a Christmas tree. This is beautiful and inspiring to me. Thank you for this video.

[@themadeupokie]

I love that you’re incorporating pieces from several of your family members. I’m sure they’d be touched to know you’re creating something beautiful and special with the pieces. ❤️

[@carolyndaughton3373]

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Andy Williams. Love your choice

[@themadeupokie]

Yes! What a classic. Love me some Andy Williams too!

[@lorithrasher1376]

My Mom passed away December 30, 2020. I plan to try to make this with her costume jewelry and give it to her granddaughter as a gift.

[@themadeupokie]

I’m sorry for your loss. I can imagine this time of year will be hard, but what a beautiful way to honor your mom. I’m sure he granddaughter will cherish it! Hugs!!

I am an old friend who keeps an eye out for your posts. I adore this bejeweled tree and may see what I can round up to make one!

Hi Nancy! So glad you enjoyed this video. Good luck if you make your own. I’ve really been enjoying mine! Happy holidays!!

Filming was definitely a struggle, lol. Glad to have you back! Thanks for watching!!

[@MisDerangedLestrange]

Stunning! I didn't even think about the fact that this could be done without hot glue. I'll have to invest in some greening pins. First time viewer from Australia, here. My local craft group has set a challenge for our members to make one of these trees this year. I can't wait to get started.

[@themadeupokie]

What a fun challenge! Good luck and I hope you have success with the greening pins. They were handy for me when I was able to temporarily remove a piece of jewelry this past Christmas and then replace it after wearing to an event. Cheers in Australia!!

[@taydezuniga5686]

I am planning on making a tree for the first time. I spent alot on the jewlery so did not want to destroy the pins while making the tree as well. I like this tutorial because you showed me what to do to attach. I enjoyed this video. thanks

[@themadeupokie]

Oh yay! So happy to give you an idea on how to attach without destroying your jewelry. Thanks for letting me know! Have fun making your tree and happy holidays!!

[@donnadiesburg7451]

Thats a great idea to pin the jewels on .

[@themadeupokie]

Glad you like it! It’s allowed me to remove some of the jewelry and still wear it and then re-pin back on. Great option for sentimental pieces you don’t want to destroy but be able to see!

[@debbiegray8977]

I’m a new friend and have been wanting to make one of these for a long time, you have encouraged me to do so, thanks for this video. Yours is really lovely.

Hello from Hermosa Beach, CA. I am a new viewer and now FAN! ABSOLUTELY loved your creativity. I can't wait to start creating my first Jewelry Xmas tree for me and for gifts. My only suggestion is can you share what one can use to cover the base. Also; how can we add tiny lights or the illusion of lights. Thank you so very much! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your viewers. For the record, for personal reasons, Xmas is not my favorite holiday but your tutorial inspired me to get creative and I have enough jewelry to make gifts for many! Thank you so much!

[@themadeupokie]

Hi Sonia! Your comment makes me so happy to read! And thank you for the great suggestions. I’m not necessarily the most creative, but once I have an idea (or am given one), I can often find a way to execute. Merry Christmas to you in sunny Cali! Cheers!!

[@tammyclark5059]

I m new to your channel.. do you use any glue at all like e6000 Thank you beautiful work

[@themadeupokie]

Hi there Tammy! For this particular craft I only used rhinestone glue for a few items because I didn’t want to harm some of the jewelry. I have used stronger glues and epoxies for some of my other crafts. The ones you mix right before use are typically the ones I prefer. Thanks for watching!!

[@themadeupokie]

Hi there friend! Thanks for the comment and so glad to have you back!

[@lauras5100]

Nice video very informative but hot glue is a bad idea for these trees. As it ages, hot glue cracks, yellows & turns loose, it takes a lot of hot glue to hold pieces on the cone. Use a glue with outstanding strength which dries clear.

[@themadeupokie]

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve had a lot of success using the greening/floral pins where I could. Cheers!

Beautiful tree, but I would be worried around children or pets with the pins.

Yes, both young children or pets could be a consideration for this technique. Neither are concerns for me so the ability to take things off and on make it a reasonable option. Thanks for watching!

Hello from Arizona! It looks beautiful and a really great conversation piece! I love your suggestions to put some pieces on in a temporary way, I think that has been holding me back from using my mother and grandmother's pieces of jewelry:)

[@themadeupokie]

Hi in Arizona! So glad to hear you found this technique helpful and hope you enjoy if you try with your special pieces as well. Happy holidays!!

[@TheButterygoodness]

I will be using scrap jewelry - mostly vintage but also unsellable and unwearable. I collected rhinestones for years and also sold them. I sometimes bought 'lots' which often came with junk. I can't bear to throw them away so I just filled baggies with single earrings, fake pearls and beads etc. I have some flashy stuff but probably the catch doesn't work or it's missing stones etc. It kind of pained me to watch you use what looks like some vintage stuff that looked perfectly fine (people are back to buying vintage stuff). I'm going to make one before we move in the next few months and give the tree to my daughter. I may actually have enough jewelry for 3 trees!

[@themadeupokie]

Wow! Your collection sounds amazing and I bet will make fabulous trees! Sorry I caused you pain with some of my dismantling. It was only to the cheapest stuff that I knew I would never wear again. I’ve actually been able to remove and wear some of the special pieces I knew I wanted to preserve by using the greening pins. Such an easy solution to attach, detach and reattach! Have fun with your creations. Cheers!
