Words have a way of making connections, and these ornaments bring that idea to life.
Using Scrabble tiles, you can spell out the names of friends, family, or even festive words like “JOY” or “PEACE.”
Tied with ribbon and holiday embellishments, each piece becomes a story waiting to hang on a tree branch.
It’s like playing a board game with memories, only this time the score is measured in joy.
