    I'm really liking the idea sbell2547!

    What kind of paint did you use for the effect?

    I used poster paint for the base coat then watered down acrylic for the next gray and green-gray coats. The last coats I put on with a sponge. The tree I did last night was done with a sponge loaded with gray and green paint swirled together and dragged down the tree to give it some depth.

    Here's a thought ~ Below I found a small leafless tree that had been painted black and halloween ornaments were hung from it ~ I think I'll save my Christmas tree this year, put it to the side of the house to dry..then with gloves pull off most needles ...then paint black. Break off a bunch of branches to give it that creepy odd look and then hang something Halloweeny from it...Maybe a scary dead xmas scene next Halloween.

    From BHG : Sickly Yuletide
    Sprout the skeletal remains of a neglected tree in a dark pot; then drape its bony limbs with a garland fashioned from black beads, handmade paper ornaments, and mini gourds with ghost faces drawn on them.
