Oh how I love to decorate this season with winter trees!  No matter your religion or style, I think trees are a fun decor.  I typically do not like the look of the purchasable faux mini trees.  Here are a few great DIY ideas for creating you own:

From Little Things Bring Smiles –  almond sliver tree

From My Home My Style – wirey whimsical tree

From Sparkle – a Layered Ribbon Tree
