DIY Snowflake Wood Slice Ornaments

By

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. This year, I chose to put up a beautiful rustic minimal Christmas tree. The tree is 6 feet high and just 2 feet wide, so it is the perfect size for displaying in my living room's bay window. I thought it would be sweet to have a simpler rustic/homespun vibe this year, so I made all the trimmings (on a tight budget) for the tree myself. In all, I think I only spent about $20 decorating the tree. (That's a small budget!) One of the elements I made for the tree are inexpensive wood slice snowflake ornaments painted with a muted green and blue. I Continue reading...
