Design with colour
If you want to recreate our idea exactly, use craft paint in powder, pastel pink, lavender, sea green and stone grey to paint the wooden pieces. Carefully paint the top edge of the tray, the roofs of the houses and the inside edges of the windows, door and stars with the different colours using a fine brush.
Fix the chain of lights to the inside edge of the tray with a few dots of hot glue.
Tie two fir branches together with a piece of cord. Using a needle, thread dried orange slices and small jingles onto the cord and tie the ends into a small bow. Make more pieces of this decorative accessory.
Now you can arrange all the pieces on the tray and display them decoratively in your home.
