Recommendations and Additional Ideas

• Personalization: Add a name or year if the tree is meant as a gift.
• Aromatic decoration: Use cinnamon, orange peels, or cloves to add a fragrant touch.
• Different sizes: Make several trees in different sizes for a matching set.
• Alternative materials: If you don’t have wooden discs, you can use bark, popcorn, or cotton balls for a snowy effect.
