Artist creates 7ft Christmas tree made entirely out of cheese and crisps

What is your favourite part about Christmas?

Some say the festive tree, others say the tasty cheese; one food designer has combined both elements and has crafted an entire Christmas tree from the food product.

According to Gloucestershire Live , Prudence Staite, the Cheltenham food artist, spent three weeks making the 7ft construct to celebrate the launch of Kettle Chips' new hand-cooked Mature Cheddar and Red Onion flavoured crisps.

Prudence said: "In the past, I've created artworks from many different types of food, but I've always wanted to make a sculpture using crisps, and I love cheese, so this was the perfect project for me."

Prudence hasn't held back on the design either and the tree features 100 handmade decorations, including: 

  • 45 cheese baubles
  •  
  • 40 onions
  •  
  • 11 cows
  •  
  • Nine pine cones
  •  
  • 10 tractors
  •  
  • Three crisp stars
  •  
  • Six crackers
  •  
  • 12 transparent crisp baubles
  •  
  • 10 strings of onion rings
  •  
  • Eight strings of cheese beads
  •  
  • 10 strings of tinsel made from Kettle Chips 

The tree will be kept at Kettle Chips' long-term charity partner, The Feed, a café which supports the local community.

If you want to get your hands on the new Kettle chips flavour, head to you nearest Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Tesco at a retail price of £1.99 per pack.
