The holidays are a time for fun, family, and tradition.

One of the most anticipated activities of the year is decorating the house in its festive finest.

From the Christmas tree to the lights outside, decorating for the holidays allows you to turn your home into your own piece of art!!

To help you in this artistic endeavor, we want to show you some fun ways to add a truly personal touch to your home décor with the 
Merry Little Christmas special!



The Merry Little Christmas special includes 
three wood ornament options and two wood tag options to bring some three-dimensional fun to your holiday decorations.

These beautiful ornaments and tags are the perfect way to add your own festive touch to the boughs of your tree and the gifts under it!!

These tags and ornaments are made of sturdy wood pieces, and they not only look fantastic, but are super easy and fun to make!!

Each ornament is constructed by fitting two interlocking pieces to form gorgeous 3-D decorations.

Once they’ve been fitted together, they can 
be easily secured with a bit of Liquid Glass and strung onto some decorative thread for a festive finishing touch.
