How to Make Christmas Tree Ornaments

Step 1:

Draw a center line lengthwise. Mark off in two inch increments on the long side of the cardboard at the bottom (about half an inch from the edge), then one inch increments on the center line. Draw a line above the center line about one inch away. Connect the marks two make the trees, then draw the trunks – 3/4 inch wide. See the photo below for reference.

Step 2:

Cut each tree from the cardboard.

Step 3:

Add a strip of glue one of the trees and start wrapping the twine around the trunk. Glue it as you go. Next, wrap the macrame string, gluing it every single line.

Step 4:

Get a small string of twine and loop it. Glue it to the back of the wooden star, then glue it to the top of the tree. Add a star at the back as well.

Step 5:

Attach the gold ribbon to the side between the two stars, then wrap it around at a diagonal and secure it to the bottom and cut the excess.

Step 6:

Glue the beads on the star.
