• Hi Gardening Friends

Well if you are a Pittsburgh Steelers football fan well here is something that you may want to make for Christmas a Pittsburgh Steelers Christmas Tree.

I think anyone can do this but this is what I did for Christmas. You first decide if you want a real live Christmas Tree or a artificial Christmas Tree.

What you need first to do is if you don't have you need to buy 6 strings of yellow or white lights to put on your tree. Then you need to buy material to make the Steelers ornaments. I brought fleece material that had the Steelers

name and emblems on the material. And I went and cut out the name and

emblems from the Steelers material. For everyone emblem that i cut out

I cut out two of the same emblems and I take a glue gun and glue them together. Back to back. Next I go and collect pinecones ones that i use is

either Norway Spruce or White Pine. I let them lay out and dry. Then

I either take yellow or gold paint and either hand paint the pine cones

or i spray paint them. I also take black paint and paint about 12 to 20

pinecones each. I also do this with the gold pines cones. I wait until

they dry then I take floral wire and wire the pine cones and then I wire

them to the tree. You can also get Black and Gold Floral ribbon at you

local craft store.and make handmade bows for your Steeler Tree.

Also you can go to your local craft store and get a grape vine star and spray paint it for the top of the tree. I will in the future tell you how in additional hub how to make a Steeler Snowman so that you can hang this ornament on the tree.

You can also get gold round ornaments for your Steeler Christmas Tree.

Then just hang them here and there on your tree.

Also I will have more pictures of my 2008 Steeler Christmas Tree.

You will have to wait until I get my Christmas pictures develop.from 2008

So come back and check this hub for more upstates about how to make a Steeler Christmas tree. You can also take any other items for the tree

that is black and gold.  This past year 2008 I used Black and Gold

Roses and laid them in the tree.

So I hope you enjoyed this hub and remember to come back as soon

as possible to see new upstates of this Hub.
