Fancy This: Mini Tree Garland

At our house we each have our very own mini Christmas tree to decorate, and I think we enjoy our mini trees almost as much as we do our big tree. This holiday garland created by Cindy Tobey is perfect for decorating your own mini tree! And by making the garland longer, it would be beautiful on a large tree as well!
