This project is a fun and affordable way to add some sleek Christmas decor to any space. I'm really satisfied with how everything turned out. Keep scrolling to see how each piece in this Christmas collection is made.

Glue the edges of the material inside the jar top to create a seamless look.
Grab a wooden snowflake ornament cut-out and adhere on top of the covered jar top.
Adhere the string of the wood snowflake cut-out to middle of the inside of the top of the frame.

Modern Arrow Christmas Trees
In this project, I up-cycled the wood arrow that is used from another project I previously created.

Metal Arrow
Wood Blank Plank

Hot Glue Gun with Glue Sticks
Black Acrylic Paint

Start by painting the entire wooden arrow using some black acrylic paint.

Then, adhere the metal arrow sign next to the black painted arrow, and in front of the other wood game block support.
Modern Snowflake Symmetry Decor
Materials:
5x7 Frame
Wooden Snowflake Ornament Cut-Outs
Hot Glue Gun with Glue Sticks
Wood Blank Plank
Directions:
Disassemble a 5x7 frame from glass, inserts etc. (That should leave you with only the "frame" portion).
Carefully remove the flaps from inside the perimeter of the frame.
Use a hot glue gun to adhere the wood snowflake cut-outs to the inside of the frame.(Use glue only where the wood snowflake touches the frame).
Adhere the wood cut-out snowflakes diagonally from each other.
Then, use a hot glue gun to adhere the bottom of the frame to the wood blank plank.
