DIY Mini Spray Paint Ornaments

July 30, 2017

I might be biased but I do think everything is cuter in miniature including these mini spray paint ornaments.  Part of the mini tool tree ornament collection these spray paint cans are fairly simple to make.
I first shared these ornaments last Fall on Instagram:

And they finally made it onto the mini tool tree along with all the other miniature tool ornaments.

Step 2: Predrill a 1/4″ hole in the center top portion of the dowel.  Apply a dab of wood glue and insert the short piece of 1/4″ dowel into the hole.
