When we discussed the merits of real versus artificial trees, we should have also included a category for home-made trees like this one, that is recycled out of old computer parts. Says builder Jovino: "This tree was made (almost) completely from pre-existing stuff around my house. The foundation consists of modular wire shelf units connected with bailing wire. Plushies are stuffed into every conceivable space with a Hello Kitty angel at the top. The lights are LEDs and the icicles are black-light cold cathodes; the bottom ones being fluorescent. The top 5" tv plays snow and the bottom one plays the yule log. Yay, make-shift tree! " via ::Make, but the Flickr picture lets you move your mouse over and see the components. ::Flickr
