Here we are in the beginning. Basket ready. Looks great, but soon after I felt like it needed a little something. That is when I remembered a project where something not working turned into something I thought was really neat. My sprigs were really a paper tree fail. I think I had tried to assemble one starting at the top to see how that would go. It didn't go well. I took apart what I had started, but the glue from attaching the ornament stuck to the first square of paper. Hmmm... I liked it!
I decided to make a bunch of sprigs to add to my branches. This is what you will need.
Very small vintage ornaments
old dictionary pages cut into squares
(1 had 2 sizes of ornaments so I cut the papers in 1" squares and 1 1/2" squares)
12" bamboo skewers (mine are by everyday living 100ct. - don't use the super skinny skewers - too frail - I think World market has the heftier ones - and maybe a cooking store)
Elmer's school glue
