I haven't done anything original in awhile, so it's about time. I thought of doing something like this last year, but was too sick/busy finishing
this to make it happen. So this year, when I saw these mini ornaments at Walmart, I decided it was time.
They were about $3.50 each. Not bad, but I'm going to check out the dollar store (that was my original plan, but by the time I got out last night, it was closed) next time. I started by hot gluing some ornaments in a ring about 6-7 inches in diameter. Then I just kept building up, ring on ring, leaving the middle empty so I could get maximum tree out of the ornaments I had.
See? It's hollow.
I like it. It's going to be perfect on the mantle in a week or so, with Christmas lights all around it and reflected by it. Mmmmm. I'm going to make a few more, I think, in different metallics. It's about a foot tall, but I might put it up on a candle stick or something..
Here's to the beginning of Christmas crafting!

Oooohh!! Pretty! I might just have to make one of these myself. I like that it's hollow. You could stick a tea light in the bottom and see if it'll glow or something! I just bought a ton of ornaments at the Dollar Tree. Just can't beat it!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, All In A Day, and for your sweet words about my burlap Christmas pillow! Have an awesome weekend! xoxo
Nice! I found you from Tatortots and Jello
