No matter how you choose to display it, this Wooden Shim Tree Ornament is a delightful accent that will bring joy and festive cheer to your season!

The supplies I will be using for this are:

1. Wooden shims that are 8 inches

2. Twine

3. White paint

4. Stain

5. Scissors

6. Paint brush

7. Glue gun

8. Star (I have small metal stars and sticker stars)

8. Drill with drill bit (my drill bit is the size of my twine)

The first thing I did was stain my wooden shims. You can stain these or paint them. I’m using a walnut colored gel stain by Americana.

Next step is to drill your hole for your hanger.

I then looped a piece of twine through the hole to make a hanger for this ornament.

It is now time to paint your tree into the wooden shim. I’m keeping it simple and doing a basic stroke to form a tree.

Once your tree is done it is time to wrap some twine around the top of the shim.

I added hot glue to the back to hold the ends of the twine in place.

You can add a small metal star to the twine or a sticker star to the top of the tree.

This is so easy to make and you can create the tree any way that you want. I just love how simple it is and I hope you will all give it a try!
