Salvaged Wood & Jewelry Christmas Tree Ornaments

Brooch & Wood Ornament by timewashed.com
I recently pinned and was inspired by this salvaged brooch and wood ornament  by timewashed.com.

I remembered that I had a somewhat dated, framed jewelry tree on blue velvet from my neighbors, so I pulled it out of the garage.


I cut four rectangular ornaments out of a weathered, chippy piece of wood siding. My rectangles are about 2 1/2" wide by 5 1/4" long.  If the ornaments were any larger, I think they could become too heavy for the tree branches. I decided to brush on one coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "Cream", and added my steel wool & vinegar stain to the freshly sawed edges.  I  then distressed the fresh paint and waxed the rectangles with clear wax.

Most of the jewels on the old framed tree were sparkly vintage earrings.  I glued them on with E6000, and let them dry overnight.  Then I ripped strips of cotton muslin for the hangers, and also for a bow.

This crown was really a cool piece even though it was missing a few jewels.

This "Angel" ornament came about by kind of by accident while I was arranging jewels on the boards.

    Do you see the big smile on my face? These are gorgeous, I love them all. I'm loving that framed tree too, but I can see how it needed to be updated. Great job!!!
