I made a reef for my front door, and one of those 2x4 Christmas trees. Mine is over 5 feet tall. I most likely will make another.

With a Christmas reef on your front door you’ll be getting lots of coralers, I’m shore.
Spelling is hard lol
What type of wreath?
Wreath is generic, made of tree branches. Then I went to dollarama and got 6 poinsettias, couple large pine cones, some lights, and some white decorations. And put it all together.
I made two more 2x4 trees today. These ones are about 36 inches.
I'm not big into Christmas decorations but I decided to make presents for my closest friends this year.
I already carved and sanded wooden mushrooms. They are only a few inches big so it's not something that will take up a lot of space.
I just want to stain them now. I made a wooden mushroom as a birthday present recently and stained it with black and rooibos tea and it turned out really nice. This time I will also try vinegar+fruit juice as recommended from a random site that talked about staining wood that I found. I want to give these newer mushrooms a nice colourful top with light brown stems.
It’s kinda fun getting different shades. I’m sure they will be appreciated.
