So of course my next thought was, AHA MAGIC CAN BE MADE. Not only that, people are selling their TuMbLEwEeD aRt on Etsy for a LOT of money, so if you’ve ever had a fantasy about turning your living room into the set of Yellowstone with a $4,000 tumbleweed chandelier, oh boy, are you in luck!īut that’s not really my vibe – my 1920 cozy cottage’s decor style is somewhere between “found it at the thrift store” and “what an oddly comforting combination of colors and fabrics,” so tumbleweeds dangling from my ceiling isn’t really the direction I’d like to go.

Naturally, the first thing I did was google “what can I do with tumbleweeds?” which led me to the conclusion that suburban American moms on Pinterest are NOT OKAY because y’all are making some weird-ass tacky shit with your tumbleweeds. Regardless, now I’ve got these two big-ass tumbleweeds sitting on my front porch because honestly, it seems like a shame to just ignore them but also WHAT THE HELL CAN I DO WITH THEM? Now, keep in mind that I don’t live anywhere near Montana at all, so it was a neat surprise and quite a novelty to get them, and it stemmed from a long-running joke in my family’s group text.

So, I recently found myself in possession of a pair of large tumbleweeds, plucked from a roadside in the middle of Montana.
