While I was at the County Fair last week, one of the girls that did another booth gave me something I had never thought about looking for. It is the heavy metal stands they put funeral arrangements on.



It is shaped just like a wire Christmas tree and it is green. She said they come in several sizes and when they are finished with them they just throw them in the garbage at the graveyard. She gets them all the time.

You could make a super vine or artificial pine spray Christmas tree with them or just use them to display things. You could also use them like we use the tomato cages, except these are much stronger.

They collapse flat for transporting too. "Happy Haunting" OOPS I mean hunting. Here is the picture of the stands. I did a front and side view and hung one of my twig wreaths on the front view. She said they also have a larger version than these.

They make good easels I'll bet.

Granny,
You might have to install a small board in front. All they have is a large hook at the top. They are heavy enough to hold just about anything.
