Location: London Ontario | Looking for someone to make two stockings, preferably leather/hide with our brand on it, also looking to get a cool westerny tree skirt, doesn't need to be for this Christmas obviously hahaha
Anyone have some that you can post photos of for ideas?
And could you also post photos of your Chritmas trees? We are getting new Christmas decor for next year, we were thinking red,silver and lime green, was going to make some ornaments outta used shot gun shells, also add some burlap, what do you trees look like!?  |

Location: Texas | No pics of our Christmas tree... I don't know what happened to it between last Christmas and now but the thing is as crooked as it gets. Looks horrible, so I told hubby it is going in the trash after this year.
Next year I am getting a white tree with tiny green, blue, and purple ornaments. With any peacock ornaments I can find. I have wanted to do a "Peacock" tree for years, but just now have a reason to trash our tree and get a white one. Hubby told me he didn't like white trees... I said "Ok, I'll get a white one and a green one!" He is ok with a white tree now lol. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | I'm cheap. I went to Walmart and bought yards of burlap I lay around the tree for a skirt.
We just finished putting our tree up. I went to town yesterday and TXBO told me to get a Griswold tree. I failed. It was so flipping cold out the tree branches were so shrunk up and tight you had no idea what you were getting. My daughter and I just grabbed one. Not too bad now that its opened up and decorated. Its short and fat probably only 6 feet tall. Sure smells good though.
I think we got our cowboy boot stockings at Tractor Supply. |

I found this tree skirt at Hobby Lobby. It was the only western themed one they had and I thought it was cute with the boots and "Happy Holidays Ya'll" on it. Our tree decorations are hard to see in these pics but the ornaments are a copper/chocolate brown and gold. Some of the chocolate ones are a matte finish and the others are glittery. I also have western crosses on the tree but you can't see them in my pictures. I got them at Hobby Lobby also. |

Location: Finally horseback again.... | My Mom made me western stockings this year to go with my house. They have the tool leather look tops and each one is a little different material to fit the person.
Our tree is a collection of ornaments collected over 30 plus years. We get each person an ornament every year and have them dated. I have some from my kids first christmas through present. You cant see my tree skirt but is is pale blue and brown paisley that Mom made last year. I am blessed with a great seamstress. LOL

If I wasn't so sentimental about my stockings, I would definitely have these! I have 2 purses by them and love them |

Location: south GA | You probably could find tutorials on youtube. I learned from working for my dad at the garden shop he used to own, but it's not too hard. The wired ribbon is the easiest to tie and you can just stuff the bows into trash bags or boxes and then fluff them back out the next year. |
