Just a piece of ppc pipe, some steel rods and a glue gun and a drill....
Look how the did they the layers...
I love the liter of Mountain Dew as a tree topper...
And this is the finished tree...now the best part of this tree is it all recyclable...so you have money for the after Christmas Sales...And you know I think it's real pretty all done up...someone has way too much time on their hands...
Dawna, Thanks baby girl for sending me this...Hope this put a smile on your face today girls ...as it did me !!!hope you all have a safe and blessed day and if you didn't get my "HUGS and SMILES" award take it home with you..its on my sidebar...
Hugs and smiles Gloria

GM Gloria!
Oh, this is a hoot but it's quite pretty with the lights on it! Someone had a wonderful imagination.
How are feeling today???
☺♥☺ Diane
Wow isn't that incredible.... What people think of isn't that funny... A great imagination... Thanks for posting this
(((HUGS)))

I may have already posted this... if so just delete this one... the blogger did something strange so I am not sure...LOL LOL
Yes Gloria,Im smiling and thinking what fun it would have been to have a small on like this a the Christmas party! I think it's a pretty creative. Deb
I saw this a few weeks ago on another blog. I really like the idea. It's kind of pretty.
Hugs, Terrie
You're right, someone has WAY too much time on their hands! It looks pretty though in the picture!
Hi Gloria...Hey, I could make a silver one in no time flat if I saved up all my Diet Coke cans! And good idea about recycling and using the money at the after-Christmas sales!!! Thanks for sharing!...Debbie
good grief! it is pretty tho.
My next door neighbor could make one out of beer cans! lol...but ...that would mean she would have to sober up to do it! lol
who ever did it...sure is creative!
my greenhouse froze up last night girl....all of my houseplants that were in there for the christmas tree and decor to fit in the house are DEAD. Froze solid.
WHEN is something good going to happen for me?
My two huge 8 foot banana trees with the 3-4 foot long leaves...are mushy and black...there is no hope to save them...I hope I can save one or two that were closer to the heater...but I am not hopeful!
Nothing screams Christmas like a tree made from Mountain Dew cans...better yet...Bud cans!
LOL....very funny!
Hey Hey, that's a beauty. now, lets see....Miller Lite for a gold tree....Bud Lite for a blue and silver tree....hummm. There's lots of possibilities here. LOL
Love Ya,
Chris
This is so cool...who would have guessed
This is unbelievable with the lights on. I agree, some one has way too much time but a great funny bone. Marty
Hi Gloria...actually this isn't a bad idea and it does look good lighted up...Mine would be gold & red with Caffeine-Free Diet Coke cans... But I don't think I'll be getting around to it anytime soon..
LOL ;-) Bo
YES THAT IS CUTE!!!
This is so funny! I get a kick out of the creativity of people- plus when they take it to recycle they will get a bundle for the alum- at least earlier this year it was a tidy price!!
Hope all is well your way!!

I love this tree! Think we can drink enough sodas before Christmas to make one? lol Oh I want one for my screen in back porch. Love it! Love it! I am gong back to take a better look!
Hey Girlfriend....
Girl, I could make this redneck Christmas tree out of all the mountain dew cans that we have! Russell drinks the stuff like I drink coffee & tea...hehe!!! I really do think it's clever...someone was very creative!!!
How are you doing today, my friend? Hope that you had a lovely weekend...we're freezing here in Colorado! Love ya Darlin'...
Chari
haha If this was in Cajun-land, it would be made of beer cans! In my neck of the woods someone can make a complete living off those cans...and probably do. Thanks for the laugh, my dear friend.
Happy, I think I like this!!!! The more I look at it, the more creative it seems...
This is a scream, but it really is pretty when it's lit. I guess if we made one out of beer cans, we would be lit instead of the tree, sorry couldn't resist! Thanks for the grin. Kathy
Oh now this is just WAY cool QG!! Hope you're having a great day! L~
If we start saving cans now, we might have enough by next year. It is a very interesting concept and also very "green". I would love to see it in person. Interesting post, Gloria.
Twizzis my dear friend...thanks for coming by girl!! I got so excited when I seen your name..YAHOO!! love ya and miss you..hugs and smiles Gloria
Well Gloria, about the time I think I've seen it all something like this Mt. Dew tree comes along to prove that I'm wrong! How FUNNY!
Smiles,
Carol
I think these are just amazing! Somebody has a much bigger bladder than me though! laurie
The end result is actually beautiful. :) Who would have thunk it....lol. Hope you had a great day!
Hugs~ J
Gloria, this is just incredible. I'm like you I believe someone has too much time on their hands..lol
hugs ~lynne~
Very interesting! A good way to recycle. Thanks for sharing, Gloria!...Christine
Too funny Gloria! I've also seen it done with green beer bottles.
Justine :o )
Gloria this is too dang funny!! Don't ya think it should be beer cans? Ya know kinda official redneck? Hmmm let me see what beer cans are green?....Lol!!*winks* And I think it looks pretty good! Vanna
Oh, whoever drank all the Mountain Dew must have been up for days! It's supposed to have so much caffine! It is quite lovely all lighted up thought! lol
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Wow what an imagination! And it does look pretty all dolled up! Hugs French;)
That is a fantastic, creative idea. OMG...I have to have it. I'm saving pop cans all next year. Thanks bunches...Nanette
Gloria.. thanks for swinging by the table darling..I'm on the search for some tartan plaid..I'm obsessed with finding them. :-)I think I found some on the Macy's sight..a bit out of my price range right now,but man alive I love them..lol We're getting snow today. Accidents every where. I'm glad I'm off and home to enjoy it from the inside out..lol. I'll share some pictures later with you. Stay inside and warm girl..hugs ~lynne~
Holy smokes Gloria! That tree scares me just a little, but what mostly frightens me is that someone actually thought of it LOL
(((hugs)))
rue
If you add up the cost of all that soda...it's waaaay more than an artificial tree lol. But it sure does look purdy!
Ms. Gloria, you are way too funny. This is a first! A tree that won't die, doesn't need water, is 100% recycleable, won't shed, is green with red and gold! Have a wonderful holiday season.
Hi Happy, Girl, I would LOVE to be snowed in, baking and listening to Christmas music. Today was cool and foggy. Each day we've had totally different weather. I'm glad to be finished shopping, and I've just started baking pecan pies and making pralines. I hope you enjoy every minute of this holiday season, you're such a sweetie.
That is one awesome Christmas tree. Man it's beautiful, and the best part it's all recycleable.
