It didn’t take me that long to get into Christmas 2023 started, but with all the bits and bobs I got in the January sales, I thought it best I got using them!
There’s little fairings are no great shakes, but they are a really different take for my usually fiddle farty Christmas bits.
The natural, wood slices came from Hobbycraft and cost £3.50 for a 280g box.

The very small slices were also from Hobbycraft, but I can’t find a link to them, sorry.
I simply stacked them into a very basic, graduated Christmas tree shape and then glued them together with wood glue, which I’d forgotten how good it was for such projects (doh) when my usual PVA sort of failed me.
I put a tiny screw eye hook in the small slices to go on top of each tree, so they could be hung and then another small slice on a middle sized slice as the base …….
…….. before putting everything together, simples!
The temptation now, for me, is to embellish them ……..
…… but I know they need to left exactly as they are, all raw and rustic.
I got 7 trees from one box of slices, with at least 15 or so leftover, so I guess, all in all, they cost me no more that 60p to put together. I love them!
