Vampire Christmas Tree

Okay this year I have a small tree that I am going to VAMP out for the holidays.  I haven't started on it yet but there are so many low cost options...I am in the process of making a decisions  .It is going to be hard for me to choose.  Here are my options.  If you have a Vampire Themed Tree I want to see.  Post the link in a comment or just email me....at vampirecraftin (you know the drill) gmail.




Red, Black, White Twilight Tree.
Here are some ideas...
1.  I suggest Starting with a White Pre-Lit Tree.  The size depends on what space you have. A Green tree is nice as well.  I have seen black and red trees.

6.  Photo Frame Ornaments for your Favorite photos.  Frame your Favorite Characters/scenes or copies of the book covers. (not for resale, don't break copyright) They sell twilight stickers.  
7.  Lion & Lamb Ornaments.  I saw some at Hobby Lobby for less than $5 
8.  Chess piece ornaments
9.  Wolf ornaments
10.  Paw prints meant for a pet.....use for team jacob.
12.  Feathers.
13.  Heart shaped crystal hearts.  
14.  Tissue or altered Flowers to look like the tulips on New Moon Book Cover. (will post a tutorial later.)
