DIY Ornament Tree

We’ve got a holiday decorating project today!  We’ve partnered with Martha Stewart Living’s line of ornaments to recreate one of their classic Christmas DIYs: the hanging ornament tree. This would be a fun, modern alternative to a regular tree. Or as holiday decor.

Using their project and the Martha Stewart Living’s ornaments as inspiration, here’s how we re-created our version of it…

Step 1: Glue strips of balsa wood onto kraft paper with wood glue. I’d recommend a medium weight of balsa wood so the ornament tree doesn’t bend. Using some chalk, outline a thin triangle for your tree.

Step 2: Glue ornaments into place. This took a little bit of planning. We’d recommend starting at the top as those are the trickiest to fit shapes in. Use a specific color scheme (we chose red and silver) and a variety of shapes and sizes.

Martha Stewart Living has a great line of glittery holiday ornament balls from Home Depot.  We used the Christmas Cheer Glass Ornaments and the North Pole Shatter Resistant Collection for this project. I love the unique design of each one, they really have a nice holiday pop to them in vibrant colors. We picked the reds and silvers out for this project but you can use any color combination you like.

Step 3: Continue to glue all the way to the top

Step 4: Save a special ornament for your star!

Step 5: Hang with ribbon. We hot glued some ribbon onto the back and it worked just fine. You can also try using a staple gun.

I think it would make a great Christmas tree if you don’t have room in your apartment for a full one. Or, you can use it as holiday decor in addition to your tree. Or maybe an advent calendar!
