Christmas decorations!
 

Rather than get bogged down in the real tree/fake tree debate this year, I decided to take things in a different direction. :)

I grew a vine screen instead! :D

It has taken me the best part of 12 months to train, trim and weave this vine into its current shape.

The vine provides our small verandah with a thick ceiling of leaves.

Top of the spa needs a bit of tidying up, but I'll think of something to make it look nicer.

Does anyone else have some innovative Christmas decorations they'd like to share?

A Blue Peter badge is on it's way.

There is no way I could sit under that. You see screening and lights, I see spiders by the million.

Looks lovely though - from a long long way away!:lol:

That's pretty cool, I'd have to have an actual Christmas tree as well though. Does that vine make nice grapes?

Re: Christmas decorations!
 

maybe could you put a blob of glue on their back and douse them in christmas coloured glitter.

they could be like mobile (****ing scary, eight eyed) baubles

We havent done our decs yet... Mumbles put up the tree, perhaps you'd like to come and supervise ours?

Re: Christmas decorations!
 

No spiders; never seen any in the grapevine, and we've been here two years already.

Unfortunately no grapes either; it's a glory vine. But we do have some proper grape-growing vines along the back fence, and they produce a few nice bunches every year.

Looks great Vash . . . nice bit of screening for you and the missus in the hot-tub . . . but tell me can your neighbours hear you through the grapevine?
