So remember how I said I lost a chunk of my big maple tree in a wind storm? Well not all is lost! I’m having a wonderful time making crafts from the branches I saved!
Like this wood slice wreath.
And I have so many other ideas too.
Like the idea I’m sharing right now!
I started by cutting the wood on my chop saw into thin slices.
Then I drilled holes into each slice so I can later thread something thru to hang them with.
Next I took a Sharpie, black permanent marker with an ultra fine point and I just wrote various words on each slice that came to mind when I thought of the Christmas season.
I have quite a stack already!
I cut short lengthS of twine (I used the festive kind with the gold tinsel wrapped around the twine) threaded them through the holes in the ornaments with a darning needle and knotted the tops. This allows them to be hung on a tree.
Like this!
Doesn’t this just make you want to grab a hot drink and a cozy blanket and cuddle up to watch a Hallmark Christmas movie?
There’s just something about twinkle lights. I can’t get enough of them in the fall and winter.
