Make a Christmas tree ornament using tiny spools.
I’m thrilled to once again participate in the 31 Days of Ornaments blog hop! Several talented crafters join together to share a different handmade ornament each day. Make sure you read to the end of this post to see the 30 other ornament ideas!
I love miniatures! Maybe it’s because I’m tiny, myself, but I’m often drawn to teeny versions of real life “stuff”. Tiny unfinished wood spools are a staple in my craft stash because there are so many ways to use them (like I did here). I decided to turn them into a little bitty Christmas tree for the holidays. This wood spool Christmas tree would make a cute ornament or piece of table decor. Or, like my daughter, you can add it to a doll house!
Supplies Used to make a Christmas tree ornament:
- Wood spools
- American Crafts Glitter Tape
- Brown washi tape
- Glue gun
- Mini burlap bow
- Tim Holtz Ideaology Mirrored Stars
