BEAUMONT, Texas — Brittany Pellerin’s kitchen looks like a Christmas craft store aisle exploded.
“It’s like we have an at-home Hobby Lobby,” Pellerin said. “There’s glitter everywhere.”
The Beaumont Enterprise reports the Lamar University senior has spent several weekends crafting wreaths, tree toppers and centerpieces – something she’s done for five years to help cover tuition costs.
This year, she added a new service: professional tree decorating.
Pellerin is an artist, and 9-foot Christmas trees are her specialty.
“I use mesh netting inside the trees to manipulate all the tulle, drapes and ribbon that go around the tree,” said Pellerin, a Port Neches native.
The biology major said tree decorating has always been a tradition shared by her and her mother.
