I bought this sad, scrawny, rather weak Christmas tree which was a real challenge to decorate.Dollar Tree came to the rescue and saved Christmas.
I bought 20 gold glittered reindeer and sprayed them white.
3 white Dove 
4 toy Slinky 
I stretched the white ones out and strung them across the tree for garland. They added sparkle.
The picks with the yellow and red berries that I stuck in the branches also came from Dollar Tree ...
as well as 2 strings of lights ...
... and here she is in all her glory.
( of course, I stuffed and fluffed her a bit)

I also used a tiny Slinky for a candle ring.
Wishing your a Happy $ TREE Christmas.
