Our dolls are dreaming of those perfect miniature decorations for a dollhouse' Christmas tree nestled in front of a fireplace. It will require much crafting throughout the Summer to manufacture ornaments with very tiniest details. If our readers feel they need to embellish their own dollhouse displays too; they can follow along with me, while I upload each ornament idea/craft for our 2025 Christmas Tree Workshop Challenge.
For ornament crafts on this page, visitors will need to gather the following supplies: white glue, a toothpick or two, green felt, tiny red pom-poms, green and red embroidery floss and thread, lampwork beads, a tiny white bottle brush wreath, fine wire, chenille stems, cotton balls, needle nose pliers, a selection of small beads.

Right, attach a tiny wire hook for hanging the miniature peppermint candy canes to a doll sized Christmas tree. |

Right, cut the holly leaves from the felt and sew the tiny red pom-poms, three to each pair of holly leaves using red thread. Then make tiny straight stitches down the centers of each leaf using the green thread. Tack on the itty-bitty wire hooks at the back of each holly and berry sprig to hang on the doll's Christmas tree. |
