Have you seen dress form Christmas trees yet? They are fabulous and proof the holiday season brings out the artist and crafter out in everyone, and we LOVE it! It’s incredible to see how a simple mannequin can be transformed into the ultimate sparkling holiday centerpiece. You’ll never look at a dress form the same again after reading this post!
Mannequin Madness!
We were contacted by Judi of Mannequin Madness in Oakland, California and fell in love with her mannequins and body forms. A great place to find the mannequin or body form you are looking for – she even has dog mannequins!
Judi also has e-books for sale on how to make a Christmas tree out of a body form. They are beautiful! We had hoped to make a magical holiday piece to share with you but sadly, did not have the time this season, so we are sharing her e-books that can be purchased HERE.
However, stay tuned because we have plans to make this next year!
Ideas for a Dress Form Christmas Tree
You can use artificial limbs or real tree as the image above shows. So beautiful and a totally different look to a traditional Christmas tree. They would look fantastic in your bedroom vanity area or if you have one of those beautiful huge closets with a sitting area. Or for your daughter’s room!
Check out this beauty they shared from one of their customers below. A peacock themed skirt with a beautiful necklace of gold holiday balls and the addition of angel wings is so beautiful!
Have you ever seen such a beautiful sight? If you haven’t, I invite you to check out their Pinterest account HERE and see all of the different styles they have pinned. There is a section on just the dress form Christmas trees, they are all so beautiful.
We can’t wait to design a body form in the new year! Have you ever decorated one? If you check out Kathy’s novel, Miss Scarlet’s School of Patternless Sewing, the students in the class learn to make one in their own body shape, there is even a tutorial at the end of the book!
Cheers,
Candy
