Start with the Christmas Tree Star
You can start your wood craft tree construction by making the star that
will sit atop the miniature Christmas tree.
As the image illustrates, first glue the wooden star shapes back to back
onto the end of a toothpick.
Then paint the wood stars, and add glitter if you want.
Finally, stick the shiny plastic stars onto the center of the wood shape
stars.

Add a Coat of Snow to the Miniature Christmas Tree
Next, add a coat of Delta Snow or other snow paint to the miniature
Christmas tree. Don't get it on the base.
In this image, the base has already been painted red.

Finish the Wood Craft Miniature Christmas Tree Ornament
Make a loop from the twine or ribbon.
Break off some of the toothpick so that it can be inserted deep enough
into the hole on top the tree to have the star flush with the top.
Put glue on the bottom end of the toothpick, and use it to push the
ribbon or twine ends into the hole atop the miniature Christmas tree.
Push the toothpick down so that the star sits just above the top of the
tree.
Paint the snow covered miniature tree green.
Glue the colored sequins around the tree to finish its own decoration.
Now your wood craft miniature is ready to help embellish your full-sized
Christmas Tree.
