Festival of Trees

Every year our club members turn ornaments for a club Christmas tree at the Orlando Museum of Art’s Festival of Trees. During the event, the trees are auctioned and the proceeds are donated to local charities. The club aims to turn approximately 100 ornaments each year to fully decorate our club tree. Ornaments are due in October. 


Christmas Ornaments

One popular type of ornament are SEA URCHIN ornaments! Club member Ron Browning has put together instructions for making the Sea Urchin Ornaments.
