Another dome project today, tiny hanging Christmas tree ornaments ........
...... made using tiny domes with a bead caps on top (both sourced from Temu) .........
...... plus the tiniest Christmas trees I could find, measuring 3.5cm tall from Baker Ross. I've been looking for trees this size forever, when I found them on the Baker Ross site I couldn't believe it.
They weren't cheap, but I took advantage of the 5 packs offer (plus P & P) but I was still thrilled when they arrived! https://www.bakerross.co.uk/mini-christmas-trees
I started off by gluing the caps to the top of the domes using B7000 for a really secure fix.
I then painted the top of the corks white, before covering them with ultra fine, translucent glitter for the snow.
I did the same to the trees, after removing their wooden bases.
When everything was dry, all I needed to do then was put a small hole in the centre of the snowy cork to stick the wire end off the tree into, with a little more glue to help keep it all upright.
All that was left to do after that was fit the dome.
I am really pleased with how they have turned out, I might make a few more, but this time adding a few tiny beads and a star on the top for a decorated tree, we shall see.......
