More Frugal Holiday Decorating

I read Troutbend's Frugal Holiday Decorating post a few minutes ago, and it inspired me to pass along one of my own favorite (if not original) holiday decorating ideas. This worked Ok in the beer drinking days, but since we don't drink enough of anything in cans these days, I'll have to leave this lovely idea for other folks.

Pretty tree, but all those cans in Michigan = lots of $!

OMGoodness! I absolutely love the frugal tree. Perhaps it looks as good with Dr. Pepper cans?? I'm in a very frugal mode right now so if the kiddo goes for it.... It's a Dr. Pepper tree for us this year!

Most of us are frugal these days! Dr.Pepper cans are a bit darker than Dew, so it might take a few extra lights to brighten it up!
