I needed some quick and simple ornaments for an outdoor tree. Something that I didn't have much time invested in if/when they get destroyed by being outside. We finally got our outdoor fireplace finished on our back porch and the wife put a tree next to it. So that's where the ornaments come into play. The Santa's I've seen here on this site a couple of times and thought that I would also make us a set for the outdoor tree. My wife did the painting. Only one of them have the white balls on the hat's in the picture,,, the cats got to the rest of them! LOL The Merry Christmas pieces hanging on the fireplace were cut from a piece of branch from my Sycamore tree, my wife did the lettering on her Cricut.
