Ribbon & Stick Christmas Tree Ornament

November 14, 2014 By Dusty Rogers 10 Comments

By now you’ve noticed that no cable knit sweater is safe around me.  (New to All Things G&D?  Find proof here, here, and here.)

Guess what else isn’t safe.

The poor tree in my front yard.

So far I’ve plucked, trimmed, and clipped from it to make this vase, these napkins, our thankful tree…and now, this ornament!

Supplies:
Stick
Ribbon
Scissors
Quick drying glue
Screw eye

I used two different widths of green grosgrain ribbon to give my stick Christmas tree ornament some depth and to taper the width of it as I got to the top.  For quick drying glue I love Beacon 3-In-1 Advanced Craft Glue.  It grabs almost instantly and dries quickly so you don’t have to hold things in place for more than a second or two before it’s set.

To make, cut small strips of ribbon and loop them as shown in the picture below, applying a dap of glue in between the loop to close it, and at the back to secure it to the stick.

Start by gluing your ribbon loops to the bottom of your stick and work your way up to top (I started with one loop at the top as you can see in the picture, and then quickly realized that was dumb. I’m sure Martha has these moments as well.)

I used ribbon pieces that were slightly shorter than the rest for my very first row at the bottom to make the row above it puff out a little bit to give my tree more of a triangular shape. Be sure to stagger your loops so they overlap slightly.  I started working loops from the thinner ribbon in about a quarter of the way up my stick, gradually increasing the amount of thinner ribboned loops I was using until I got to the top and used only thin loops.

Finish it off with a screw eye added to the top and a ribbon for hanging and you’re all set – your very own Ribbon & Stick Christmas Tree Ornament!

    That little tree is so darn cute! I’d probably stick my fingers together gluing all those loops on, but I’m tempted to add this idea to my list of ornaments to make…so many good ones in this series!

      Thank you so much, Chaney! You should give it a try – it’s super simple (and the glue washes off no problem). 😉

    So cute! And I will definitely NOT be hanging around your front yard — don’t want to be plucked and trimmed and clipped! Though I could use an eyebrow wax …

    😉 Linda
