Thanksgiving Ornament Tree

Traditional Thanksgiving motifs convert 

the "Stars Tree Display Stand" into a 

"Thanksgiving Tree Display". 

Purchase Stars Tree Display Stand file separately.

 Create a dozen Thanksgiving ornaments in 

mix or match fashion 
(including some from Fall season set). 

Then attach twine bows with a "loop" 

behind top of ornament, and hang from "tabs" 

on tree arms for colorful autumn decor.

are described in a separate tutorial
(Egg Tree Display Stand Assembly)
