Modern Rainbow Tree Ornaments
Another neutral-coloured decoration for the Christmas tree 🌲
I tried making this a few different ways and finally (after a few failed attempts) found a way that worked best 🥳 The twine that creates the rainbow shape has the tendency to pull/curve, even after being glued down. So whatever backing you stick the twine to must be strong enough to withstand the pulling or else the rainbow will end up twisted/warped. I tried paper and cardboard but these warped, so I ended up using a sheet of thin craft plywood from Spotlight for the backing, which did the trick 🙌🏻
