Hardware Store Christmas Tree Ornament


 Hi all! I had a little fun with today's ornament and decided to visit the hardware store for some of the pieces. Hardware store equals fun for me :)

This Christmas Tree was made using corner brackets. You can buy different sizes and tier them or just use the same single size like I did.

 I started off by spray painting mine white. Then I hot glued a string of jute along the backs to keep them together, leaving a little loop at the top for hanging.

 It looked too boring just plain like that, so I cut some balls off a stick of beaded garland and hot glued them in the holes.

For one of them, I used some pearl white beads, but decided I needed a little more contrast.

So, I opted for some 'iced' covered red balls instead :) I love the look of this.
