Cedar Ring Ornament
Happy December Crafters!
Making Christmas ornaments has become an annual tradition in my home. Last year I made 5 minute yarn snowballs and sweater stamped socks and mittens to hang on our tree. This year when I spotted cedar rings at the hardware store I knew I wanted to use them to make ornaments.
They’re meant to slip over hangers in a closet but they have a fresh woodsy smell and are the perfect size and shape for hanging on a tree or using as a plate topper/favor at holiday meals.
