2. Decorate Tabletop Trees in Seasonal Displays


Tabletop trees let you show off a cherished collection of ornaments or highlight your seasonal favorites throughout the year. Small tabletop accent trees provide the perfect backdrop for rotating ornament displays—simply change out miniature ornaments monthly or seasonally to refresh your décor. Feather trees are a wonderful alternative in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, offering a vintage aesthetic that works beautifully year-round.

Create beautiful seasonal vignettes with ornament collections, themes or color schemes. Simply place them in a beautiful bowl, vase or get creative with a glass lantern. Then place the grouping on a self, table or in a curio cabinet for everyday viewing.

4. Customize Seasonal Wreaths and Garlands


Seasonal wreaths and garlands are a great way to bring new life to ornaments. A little hot glue, some ornaments and creative placement and you have a cherished keepsake. Want to use ornaments seasonally and on the Christmas tree, simply hang or clip ornaments into the wreath or garland now and remove for holiday tree trimming.

Insider tip- wreaths are a great way to repurpose broken ornaments by gluing the ornament in a way that you can’t see the scratch, chip, etc.


5. Create Original Framed Art


Craft a one of a kind original piece of art for any wall in the house. Tie ornaments to a beautiful ribbon and place them in a wooden frame or shadow box. This also makes a great gift.

Could you make an Olympic National Park ornament? I live right outside the park, but couldn’t find it in your beautiful ornament offerings.
