Cute Christmas ornaments
Craft Stick Skis: Paint two wooden craft sticks (Craft Smart Acrylic Paint in Pale Blue, 69 cents; michaels.com). Adjoin sticks with hot-glue making an X. Paint two toothpicks white. Hot-glue metal snaps (we used size 1) to one end of each stick. Color opposite ends black. Hot-glue a ?” piece of twine in a loop to each black end. Hot-glue one pole to the top ski. Glue second pole at center of first. Glue twine to ski tops to hang.
Ribbon Candy: Coat a 24″ piece of ribbon in fabric stiffener. Hang to dry (about an hour). Fold ribbon into loops as shown above, adding a dab of hot-glue between each layer. Glue a bead to the top and bottom. Add an extra dab of glue on the top; affix loop of string to hang.
Button Snowman: Glue three white two-hole buttons (turn top one perpendicular to create eyes) to white felt; trim felt, leaving a ?” edge. Wrap with a piece of rickrack. Cut small hat shape from gray felt and adhere to top with hot-glue. Then glue ribbon behind hat to hang.
String Starbursts: Trace a 2 ?” circle on a 3″ birch slice. Mark eight evenly spaced points around the circle and insert small nails. Wrap embroidery floss around nails, making square and star shapes. Add a nail to the top; tie on a loop of string to hang.
Fabric Tree: Use pinking shears to cut two triangles measuring 4 ?” H ? 2 ?” W from fabric. We used Scoot Fabric ($9/yard; deenarutter.com). Hot-glue long edges of triangles closed and stuff with batting. Insert cinnamon stick in opening at the bottom of triangles and glue fabric closed around it. Thread a loop of string through the top to hang.

Sparkling Ornaments

Baking Molds
Vintage baking molds add a sweet touch to any tree; simply hot-glue ribbon loops to their backs and hang.
Upgrade a Plain Glass Ornament
At around a dollar each, these empty orbs offer an affordable catalyst for creativity. Fill one with small wooden chips, another with a single stunning peacock feather (attached to the ornament’s top with hot glue). Or compose a more obvious Christmas scene by dropping a model fir tree into a globe dusted with artificial snow. You can also use tweezers to position branches inside and even hot-glue a tiny cardinal in place.

Peace on Earth
Pure white doves flock en masse to the miniature tree’s branches, proclaiming “peace on Earth.” Cut your own from white card stock and hang from lengths of ribbon, or use dove-shaped gift tags for a quicker solution. In keeping with the humble theme, the tree sits inside a pale blue-painted galvanized bucket.
