Silver and Gold Ornament Tree Display

This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. See full disclosure below regarding DIH Workshop.* The holiday season is HERE!!! Oh how I love this project!!!! It’s this month’s Home Depot DIH (Do It Herself) Workshop project and it’s one of my favorites! I love all things Christmas so this adorable Ornament Display idea from Home Depot definitely got me excited. This year I created a Sparkly French Country Christmas tree full of different shades of gold and silver, so I wanted to do the same with this project… so I created a Silver and Gold Ornament Display.

Ornament Display

I love Christmas and this ornament display is the perfect way to get your into the holiday spirit. There’s SO many possibilities with this project!!! Different ornament colors, a different holiday shape (star, candy cane, wreath, etc)… the possibilities are endless! This Thursday, November 17th , 2016 at your local Home Depot you can signup to attend the DIH (Do It Herself) Workshop. It’s a great hands on demonstration where you can learn how to make your own Ornament Display.

Let me share how I made mine…

MATERIALS NEEDED: {AFFILIATE LINKS INCLUDED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE}

one 1˝ x 8˝ x 12´ Common Board
one 1˝ x 6˝ x 8´ Common Board
one 1˝ x 4˝ x 6´ Common Board
1 1/4″ brad nails for nailer
sanding block
Antique White stain
nails
wire
spacers (I used laminate flooring spacers)
silver bulbs
gold bulbs
small silver bulbs
small gold bulbs
gold snowflake

ADDITIONAL TOOLS:

miter saw
nailer
hammer
wire cutter

First step is cutting down your boards.

Measure and cut three 48″ long sections from the 1˝ x 8˝ x 12´ Common Board
Measure and cut three 48″ long sections from the 1˝ x 6˝ x 8´ Common Board
Measure and cut two 30″ long sections from the 1˝ x 4˝ x 6´ Common Board

Lay your boards down alternating… 8″ wide… 6″ wide… 8″ wide… 6″ wide… 8″ wide placing a spacer between the boards.

Place your 30″ boards across the boards. I used my nailer to attach the boards, but you could use wood screws also.

Your building is done!!! Super easy right! Now the creative fun begins.

Decorating your Holiday Ornament Display

I stained my wood with an Antique White stain. I gives it almost a white washed look… I wanted something soft that would really make my gold and silver ornaments pop.

I love this stain because it dries in 1 hour! Then I started my tree layout. I marked the center of my tree in the center of the middle board. Then I decided how far down I wanted the tree to go and how wide.

I spaced my rows 5.25″ inches a part. I marked each side at those spots so I knew where to hammer in the nails.

When I laid out the ornament on the board until I got the look I wanted.

I took the wire and slid the top row ornament on the wire. I wrapped the right side around the right nail, then pulled the wire tight, wrapped it around the left nail a few times and then trimmed the wire with a wire cutter.

I repeated the pattern until I worked my way down the tree. At the top of my tree I attached a snowflake ornament with a hammer and nail.

I love how festive it is!!!

I wrapped some tiny LED battery powered lights around them so they can glow during the night too.

Such a fun project!!!
