There’s something magical about the shine of Christmas ornaments, and this craft turns that sparkle into a miniature masterpiece.

By stacking baubles in a pyramid shape, you create a modern little Christmas tree that looks polished yet playful.

Topped with a simple wooden star, it balances elegance and whimsy perfectly.

Place one by your entryway, add them to your holiday table setting, or use as charming handmade gifts.

Materials Needed

• 12-14 mini ornament balls (2-3 cm diameter, mix of matte and shiny)
• 1 small wooden slice base (approx. 3-4 inches wide)
• 1 wooden star topper (2-3 inches wide)
• Hot glue gun with glue sticks
• Optional: glitter or metallic paint for extra sparkle

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Arrange your ornaments in a triangular tree layout before gluing, this helps you visualize the shape.

Step 2: Begin with the bottom row by gluing 5 ornaments in a straight line onto the wooden slice base.

Step 3: Stack the next row with 4 ornaments, gluing them slightly above and between the ones below.

Step 4: Continue stacking rows (3, then 2, then 1) until you have a pyramid-shaped tree.

Step 5: Attach the wooden star topper securely at the top using hot glue.

Step 6: Let the glue set completely, then place your tree where it can catch the light and shine.

Tip:

If you want a coordinated look, stick with one color palette like silver and white for elegance or red and green for classic holiday charm.
