Mini Tumbling Tower Blocks Christmas Ornament

Hi friends,

I have a bunch of the Mini Tumbling Tower Blocks from Dollar Tree in my craft stash – it’s time to use some of them.😉 So today for Christmas in July, I’m sharing these cute Christmas ornaments that are easy and fun to make.🎄

I’m not sure if the blocks are still available at Dollar Tree, but I did find these 3 inch tumbling blocks on Amazon that would make your ornaments a little larger.

I found my tiny wood Christmas trees at Dollar Tree, too. Hopefully they will carry them again this year. The little wood trees measure about 1.25 inches tall and the blocks are about 2 inches long. You could also use mini bottle brush trees similar to these.

You’ll need some white and green chalk (or acrylic) paint, 1/2 inch screw eyes, white wood beads, and natural twine for the hanger.

Paint 4 blocks for each ornament with 2-3 coats of white paint and the little trees with 2-3 coats of green paint. Once dry, use a strong adhesive like E6000 clear adhesive to glue the blocks together into a square. You will need to offset the corners of the blocks like in the photo below in order to fit the tree in the middle. Glue the tree inside the square with the same adhesive.

Let the glue dry and then screw the screw eye into the top of the ornament. I used a small awl to create a starter hole to make it easier. Slip a piece of twine through the screw eye, thread the ends through the white bead, and tie a knot to make the hanger. You can also put the screw eye in before glueing the blocks together.
