This one is a no-brainer: get the Christmas toys out of the box and hang them directly on the wall using poster tack. Just make sure the toys form a Xmas tree shape! I was done in less than 3 minutes :)
Just like I told you, I was going through the Christmas box, which sits on the balcony all year long. I was debating whether the toys were tiny enough to fit into my tiny white Christmas tree, when I got struck by nostalgia. All of these toys come from my parents' house - I've had these toys for 30 years! They don't make toys like this anymore... So I made a quick toy tree above the bed, an homage to my family and the good times we had <3
PS: I just realized that at the base of the tree you can see the most unique pumpkin, a hand painted gift from the talented Anna, the creative smile behind Tulimami. Grazie, Anna!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the lovely comment, Vesna!
DeleteThat is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting!
DeleteSo cute this tree and... you can imagine that when I saw the base I suddenly recognized Tulimami's work! I love it, I have something similar Tumami's made (from the "zuccone's swap of last year ;)
ReplyDeleteHowever... i really love your idea!
Thank you, Laura, I remember from Lo swap delle zuccone that our pumpkins resembled each other, but Anna made them different for each one of us <3
DeleteThis is so adorable!!! Awesome project!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tanya - it looks great but this is so easy to make that I feel almost ashamed :)
DeleteLove youuuu!
ReplyDeleteAnna, the pumpkin is one of my dearest treasures - I love it as much as I love my childhood Christmas toys and that's why I almost thought it was from those years.... because it is close to my heart, now and forever <3
DeleteThank you,sweety! I love that different people in different countries should touch each otherd in these ways... <3
DeleteSo cute!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vidya, it's uber-easy to make!
DeleteSuch an adorable Christmas tree. I love it so much and I will try this idea...
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Ayda
Thank you, Ayda, you can do this in less than 3 minutes, like I said. I didn't even stop to think where should I put each toy... I just glued them to the wall :)
DeleteThank you, Ana - but for nothing, really, anyone can do this in a heart beat!
ReplyDeleteThis is so whimsical! I love all the little trinkets you added to it to make it so special. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erica, all the toys are over 30 years old :)
DeleteThis is so amazing! When I saw the little thumbnail on Bloglovin, I had to come see this. It's perfect and I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words, Allison - I don't feel like I've made anything out of the ordinary, but the toy tree looks cute in reality, too :)
Deletei love love these! i too have some wooden ornaments that were from my childhood and possibly from my dads childhood too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Yelle - I remember buying the penguin at my favorite bookstore in 1984. How time flies by...
DeleteWhat a lovely way to display you childhood toys, most adorable Christmas tree and it must bring a lot of wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing both the idea & your Christmas treasures:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mette - I don't know how you knew that, but when I was writing the last paragraph for this post I was almost in tears... I remember buying some of the toys in 1984 :D
Deletethis is so cute. i did a similar thing for my advent calendar last year and i really liked it. but i want to do a different style advent calendar this year, so maybe i can do this too! xo
ReplyDeleteI remember your elegant calendar from last year, Christine, I can't wait to see what you come up with next! As for my toy tree, it came to me naturally and I almost didn't publish this project because I thought it was too easy. A no-brainer, like I said...
DeleteI looooooove it!!! ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, but it's very, very easy to make!
DeleteSoooooo cute! What a great mix of toys! I especially like the dark green felt tree :).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amy, I love the dark tree a lot myself :)
Deletesuper cute!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anne!
DeleteWhat a charming and cute tree! Nice to use the old toys. It is also a toy memory tree. You are so creative and smart! :)
