This holiday season, a group of Curbly contributors and editors got together to create a series of DIY ornament projects. We’ll be sharing our creations each day this week.
For the first inaugural Curbly Ornament Challenge we wanted to do something colorful and simple. After seeing these unfinished wood pine trees at a craft store, we were inspired to create a stripey, colorful forest.
Here’s what you’ll need to make your own:
- A few wooden craft pine trees. We found ours at Michael’s, but here’s a similar set.
- Acrylic paint. We used Martha Stewart’s acrylic paint in the following colors: Gold, Deep Sea, Caribbean Blue, Spring Pasture, Party Streamer and Wedding Cake
- Paint brush
- Eye hook
- Hanger
We played around with the order of paint on my trees, using gold, white, and navy blue as the bases, and decided to have only one pop of color on each tree.
Once your paint dries, simply screw an eye hook to the top of your tree and add a hanger.
If you like this project, please help us by sharing on Pinterest! Here’s an image just for that:

Yes! I love these. Looks like the makings of a festive Christmas-y crafternoon. I’ll bring the candy canes.
Thanks, Chris!
