So…I made a BAZILLION frames (only a slight exaggeration!) and with all those cute frames came piles and piles of scrap wood.
I just laid them out and tried to find varying sizes (I had to trim a few) and then I “let” my 7 year old sand them!
and paint
I sanded down the edges and splashed some white paint on them and added a star
You can buy some wood stars here.
Then hot glued it all together! (using scented glue sticks!!!)
I thought it would be really cute with red buttons on it!
It was actually my daughters idea to alternate the different colors!
I’m using them in my planters on my front porch–just make sure the middle stick is super long.
Or add into their own personal pots!

So cool!! About how big are all these wood scraps??
Kimbo says
The tree is only about 12 inches tall….so 1 inch to about 12 inches!

What paint did you use? Did you stain the “trunk” stick? Thanks!
Kimbo says
I used watered down brown paint for the trunk and I’m not sure on the exact green I used! It’s all acrylic paint but it looks like I used some green and some white to splatter
