Here's a cute tree ornament that is made from buttons, popsicle sticks and a little ribbon.
Approximate Time 30 minutes
Supplies:
4 popsicle sticks
glue
buttons ( or gems)
ribbon
Instructions:
Take 2 popsicle sticks and form an x and glue where the two sticks connect. Take other 2 and form a + and glue where two sticks connect. Now take the x and the + and place on top of each other and glue where they connect.
Take buttons or gems, poms poms whatever you like and glue to popsicle sticks. If you wanted to you can paint the popsicle sticks before you begin. Take ribbon and glue a hoop and viola!, you have a cute ornament for the tree
Oh yeah, I'm inspired. How about dipping the popsicle sticks in dye or food colouring and letting them dry first to introduce some background colour. I'm sure there's room for some glitter or tinsel here too.
What a great simple idea!
