How to Make a Tabletop Christmas Ornament Tree Using a Knitting Needle. I haven’t done a lot of holiday decorating this year – keeping it simple, but I found this idea in an old Christmas decorating book and wanted to try it out.

How to Make a Tabletop Christmas Ornament Tree Using a Knitting Needle

It is a non-permanent way to use your ornaments, very easy, and can be done in many variations. It is perfect to place on a mantle, table, or just to accent your decor. All you need for the basic version is a knitting needle and about 16-20 classic ball ornaments of varying size. I found my color coordinated ornaments at Walmart. They were $2.50 for a box of 10 -18 balls. Here is the basic version. The bottom can be simply left alone, adorned with some greenery, or placed in an urn or planter.
