Molding Christmas Tree Sculptures Using Re-Purposed, Recycled Picture Frames and Decorative Molding Pieces

Update December 2016

I'm no longer creating the molding trees. Thank you!

My latest set of Christmas trees made using recycled molding

and picture frames.

I also made this set recently for another customer.

Just like real trees, no two will ever be the same.

This is very first set of picture molding trees I made last year.

They all start kind of like this...with a pile of decorative molding

and picture frames.

Here they are assembled and ready to paint.

I love all the detail in the molding!

I'll even use plain moldings but dress them up with upholstery tacks

like I did with the little flower tacks here...

... or here on this one I used a strip of upholstery tacks on the plain molding.

You could even use the bead and joint compound trick I shared on

my architectural angel post if you have pieces of molding that are

just a little too plain.

They are made to lean against a wall or on a mantel, 

I just have them propped against my Christmas gifts

while I take photos.

They are quite large and make a great impact with your decorating, 

the biggest of the three is usually around 2 feet tall.

I love this one with the oversize trunk, it might be my fave.

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out

 my picture molding trees,.
