Stijlmagazine
The December issue of Stijlmagazine features a tutorial for my 2008 Christmas tree. I’m sorry to say it’s only in Dutch but I think the pictures speak for themselves. Many thanks to Marjolein, creator of Stijlmagazine!

Hello Jane,
I have admired your work for a while now.
Your colour combinations are wonderful.I love that you too are actively recycling and creating fabulous art from all sorts of beginnings.
I also rather like that you have an Australian connection. I live and work in a tiny locality near Byron Bay on the far north coast of New South Wales.
Happy creating
Julie

[...] Found object tree: If you’re feeling crafty or want something with a little more pizazz than paper on a wall (and your landlord doesn’t mind), you can make a tree using things from around your home. Not only will it help you save space, it’ll look like art and be a conversation piece at your holiday party. [...]
I hope you don’t mind, but I did an English translation of the instructions for my Pinterest, so I thought I’d post it here for the curious who don’t read Dutch.
(From Google Translate, with my own edits, and product substitutions for U.S. readers)
1. Take a bag or basket and wander through your home collecting decorative odds and ends that aren’t currently being used for anything.
2. Once you think you have gathered enough things, select an empty wall, preferably one with a little space around it. It looks nicer ,and you might want room to place presents under it later.
3. With a pencil, draw the desired size and shape of tree, the line will be slightly larger than the finished tree. Make sure you don’t let your objects cover the line, so it’ll be easier to erase it when you are finished. Your design doesn’t have to be the same as the example tree (or necessarily be tree shaped at all).
4.Use hanging materials that won’t damage your wall or your items, such as double-stick tape, repositionable poster hangers (sticky-tack), pins/small nails, or 3M Command adhesive strips.
5.Just start hanging! Go crazy and don’t be held back by convention. It’s YOUR tree, you decide!
