Did anyone do a shrouded / veiled Christmas tree this year?

[Slightyamusedandsilly]

I quite like the look of them. Might go for it next year.

Ahhhhh. You win! That is such a good point.

Horrible

Etsy have insect themed tree decorations.

Thanks! I did manage to find a really nice glittery scarob beetle (not a decoration but could easily be turned into one) but by the point I had the idea to make my own, the tree was up and no way was I doing it all twice.

Next year though. That or the veiled tree.

Ahh, it been a few years since we had cat and I had forgotten the havoc they can unleash on a tree!

😂😂😂

Hard NO from me, looks awful.

And i will physically cut a piece of my santa hat and eat it if it evet becomes a fashion/trend.

It looks like a nasty fire hazard and bloody stupid.

I think people have these ideas and post them to see who will copy!
The power of social media. Even if something looks stupid, someone will do it!

No, why?

According to the article I found about how to do this, you would need fourteen metres of material to swathe your tree properly, so rather more than a fiver.

😂

🤣👏

From your thread title I was picturing it black-veiled. Lurking mournfully in the corner like it had wandered in from a funeral 😅

I am crying at this answer 😭😭 peak mumsnet. IS IT INSURED??!

My God its hideous and surely a fire risk?

Sorry op but it just looks like cobwebs to me. I have seen a few of these but I just can't get behind it.

Is it organic? It doesn't look very biodegradable. YABVU, OP 😂

Guess I’ll see you in 12 months time on the (evidently) short “Show us your lovely, strange and unusual Christmas trees” thread then, @Slightyamusedandsilly🤝🪲

It looks like you bought it and forgot to take the wrapping off. It’s a no from me.

🤣🤣🤣🎄🎄🎄

I got lots of images when I googled it, but all from Living Etc magazine.

For my tree, that would block the tree, rather than create a gossamer effect. But yes, I guess if you had a really big tree, it would need a lot. Mine would need maybe 3 or 4 metres.

Yeah, unless bug boy has moved on to a new craze. He has a vague interest in slugs, but I do draw the line there.

I've just nearly choked on a crisp at that!
