How to make a short tree tall. AKA dealing with tall tree envy.

Yes.  I have a short tree, and have developed tall tree envy.

What do you do when you have tall tree envy, and a wee 6 foot tree?

If it were December 26th (how I love thee After-Christmas sales), I might rush out and buy a new tall tree, but it isn't.. so I am forcing myself to make do. 

What is my solution?
Oh my goodness, how did that insanely adorable baby get in the photo of my short tree?  hehe.

Here we go

I started with a side table that wasn't being used and I covered it with white sheet.

Place tree on top.

My short tree has an ugly skinny base to it, so I covered it loosely with a rolled blanket..

Then topped with a tree skirt.

If you're pretty comfortable in your ability not to bump into your newly lifted short tree, then you can decorate and enjoy.  However, I have unruly  rambunctious children, and decided to attach mine via fishing string to the wall.  Safety first, right?
