How to Make a DIY Ornament with Old Matchbox Car and Bottle Brush Tree

Step 1. Gather Supplies

Supplies Needed:

Step 2. Cut a piece of twine and tie it into a loop.

This will be the ornament's hanging string.

The ornament is charming and classic, perfect for a rustic chic Christmas tree.

You can use any type of toy car to make this ornament.

I like this metal car because it is vintage and distressed, and I love the red color.

Kids could make ornaments like these with any type of plastic matchbox car or truck too - the sky is the limit!
