Take some dead branches (I have been saving them from our autumn pruning)....
Grab a bowlful of mini pom poms and willing children....
Use tacky glue to stick them on said dead branches and voila! I really like how these turned out. They look super cute in person and will be decorating a table somewhere for me for awhile. I kind of wanted just red, orange and yellow pom poms for a more authentic berry look (but really how authentic are pom poms going to look??) but Michael's didn't have them. So I bought fall themed ones and added red and white ones to it. They still look cute.
Although, I have to say, the kids tired of it pretty quickly and I was left to do a lot on my own (not that I mind) while they made Christmas cards instead. I think scrunched up bits of tissue paper might have been easier for them to handle and they might have stuck with it longer.
I love your berry tree! It's so cute :)
