I Love white Christmas lights….and when I say love what I really mean is LOVE!  There are so many cute easy projects you can do and adding white lights makes it 100 times better!

I picked up this old galvanized boot at an occasional shop several years ago. I am sure I was wasting hours away  looking for dinner recipes on Pinterest and stumbled upon something similar being immediately inspired to create something!

That weekend I drug my teenage daughter outside my youngest daughter and I hit the woods and sawed down several birch tree branches until I found the perfect two.

I put foam in the bottom of the boot to help keep the branches upright….I quickly found I needed to add rocks as well 🙂  It only tipped over a few times before I got it right. Then I strung some battery operated white lights around the branches and picked up an unfinished wooden birdhouse which I painted with some paint I had left over from another project.  I bought a little clip on bird from the dollar store and added that after the above photo was taken.  So happy with my results!  What do ya think?

Thanks for stopping by
