My Take on A MacKenzie Childs Tree

I am thankful to be blog friends with Patti over at Pandora's Box.

She actually lives close to MacKenzie Childs farm and has even worked in their store this past year! Oh what a dream! Patti shared with me the actual tree that they had decorated in the store last year...

I think it is just 2-die-4 wonderful and whimsical. So this year I thought I would work even harder to replicate it than I did last year. I don't have even one thing that is an actual MC piece but have made plenty replicas of their items.



I found black and white harlequin cloth at Hobby Lobby

Using acrylic paints and textile medium, I painted the fabric to look more like MacKenzie Childs Courtly Check.

Here is the result after adding a red gross-grain ribbon to the border...

Then all I had to do was decorated much like I did last year, however this year I added my version of their teapot to the top of my tree...You can also go back and see my post on the teapot I painted HERE.

It's all so fun and whimsical and I adore the contrast between the back and white with pops of red, don't you?

You can look back at my tutorial on how I made these MC look ball ornaments from last year HERE.
