I am not sure if I am going to make many bottle tree decorations this year as I was pretty bottled before Christmas which is probably why this one was left unfinished in the cupboard (until now), after I ran out of time and/or steam on the bottle front.

The gingerbread men are absolutely tiny and are actually sugar cake decorations, part of a dispenser of sugar strands and red, green and white balls I found in Home Bargains for less than about 80p.

I simply wrapped a red cotton thread round the neck of the bottle and hid the knot with a very small, paper poinsettia embellishment. The thread is red and white butchers twine which goes with the theme as does, I think, the attached silver jingle bell.

As I say, at the moment I feel a little bottled out, however should I see any other inspiring tiny bits on my mooching expeditions that would fit, I wouldn’t rule out the idea out entirely.
This would be a sweet Christmas memento for anyone. I love seeing your tiny bottle creations. Thanks for sharing them.
