Decorating Ideas
Gazebo of Lights - Create a Starlight Hide-away
Directions:
Cut 8 or more trees about 12 feet tall with a trunk about 1-2 inches in diameter. Trees should have as many branches as possible.
Place a stake in the ground where you want your garden bench to be. Tie a string to the stake and mark off a circle with a 4 foot radius, making an 8 foot diameter circle.
Figure for at least a 3 foot opening. Make holes about 6 - 10 inches deep with a steel bar, wide enough for the trunk of the tree, every three feet around the circle starting at the side of the doorway. Work you way around. You can adjust the spacing to your own taste, but it shouldn't be more than 3 feet between. Place trees in holes and bend them over to meet eachother in the middle, and tie together with wreath wire or twine.
Cut branches around doorway, and tuck and trim any branches inside that might be in your way.
Decorate with clear order colored mini lights. String the lights randomly throughout the canopy. Place your favorite garden bench inside, and watch the stars, even on a cloudy night.
It's a great place to hide after walking in a winter wonderland.
