Not sure what these are called, but DD would like to have one & her BD is coming soon.

They look like twigs made into a small tree shape....with fairly lights on them,maybe 2-3 ft tall.

Does anyone know where to find them,or directions for making one? Thanks.

Is their a wooded area near you? Maybe just a nice branch in a pot with something heavy to hold it in (Plaster of Paris) and some moss on top with the lights strung in the tree?

I found these:

but I think it would be nicer to make your own:

Just saw some for sale at Big Lots last week, but with purple lights on them for Halloween, in 3 different sizes. I just looked up this week's ad and they only have a 42in twig tree and it isn't a cute as the ones last week.

Thanks all. The one she wants looks like a long "rope"/branch that is wound around on top of itself till it winds down to top of tree.Will check Big Lots & HL......haven't seen them in Joanns.

You are thinking of a grape vine tree.
