💡 Pro Tip: Use a strong clothespin or paperclip to hold glued parts together for 5–10 minutes—this helps flatten layered decorations and strengthens the final build.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Layer Strength: Use a firm backing like thin cardboard or foam board behind your decoration layers to keep ornaments from sagging once hung.
- Edge Finishing: Cleanly trim or round off corners after gluing to give each ornament a polished shape, especially when using layered materials.
- Glue Accuracy: Apply adhesive with a small brush or cotton swab to avoid smearing glitter or embellishments and keep design details sharp.
- Hole Punch Prep: Punch the hanging hole before assembling the ornament layers—this prevents shifting and keeps alignment consistent.
- Dry Time Spacing: Lay ornaments flat on parchment paper while drying and keep them spaced apart so glitter or paint doesn’t transfer.
- Design Contrast: Mix matte and shiny textures (like felt and sequins) in one piece to make visual elements stand out clearly on a busy tree.
