DIY Ornament Tree

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!  We surely did!

I thought I would just quickly share some photos from our “DIY Ornament Tree” in Montana.

We had great fun making all the ornaments on the tree from scratch.

Allison showed you the button wreath idea from Martha Stewart’s website.  Here are a couple of ours:

The initial ornaments turned out great and were so easy:

These little candy cane mice were super cute:

We also did God’s Eye ornaments (remember those from summer camp?)

And frosted trees made from real twigs.

Thank goodness someone had already collected twigs for the fire which we could use on the ornaments, because generally it looked like this up there:

We enjoyed spending the day indoors making the ornaments.  A great time for all ages and I highly recommend the activity for your family next year!

Now, I am going to spend the next few days recouping, un-thawing and getting organized for the new year!  We have a lot of projects ready to kick off and I predict 2014 is going to be even busier than 2013!
