November 17, 20196 yr Popular Post comment_209017 Today I finished and hung my Christmas tree ornament display above the fireplace. It is 6 feet tall with 76 ornaments that I made of mostly of exotic woods. That includes the angel on top. I've made about 150, I do NOT sell them, I give them to my wife, daughters and grandchildren. I've made over 150 and enjoy each and every one Report

The background is quarter inch ply, one good side. I painted it all green and then used an old ratty 1 inch paint brush and white paint to simulate pine branches. The old brush had some stiff bristles and bad places, just perfect to get the effect I wanted. Report

I started about 3 years ago just to see if I could do it. They got more complex as I learned to be more creative. My family kept encouraging me because they all wanted some. Each Christmas they pick out the ones they want, (providing grandma hasn't already chosen it.) Report
