We were grabbing some craft supplies from the Dollar Tree when I spotted these mini white trees. I had no idea what I was going to do with it – possibly a Christmas-themed centerpiece – but I knew the possibilities for crafting with a mini tree were going to be endless so it was a safe bet adding it to my cart."
