Christmas tree ornaments
I know it's probably been done and posted on here. I did a search but didn't find anything so here it goes.
Every year or so my wifey has purchased a Hallmark vehicle Christmas tree ornament for me. I have a couple Corvettes, Chevy Truck and an SSR. I thought I'd just make a couple of my own. I found a couple Hot Wheels of vehicles I've owned today. So, get out the Dremel and a 1/16" closed hook eye that I have and presto.... 85 CRX...Had mine until 5 years ago. Couldn't resist the lowrider 61

Re: Christmas tree ornaments
flashed: I got the hooks at Home Depot. They are a little too long. A 1/16" bit worked great. I threaded in the eyelet. Then turned it back out. Then clipped off some of the threads. Left only 2 or 3.

Re: Christmas tree ornaments
My grandmother started buying the hallmark ornaments for me when I was a little boy, I have one from every year 1988 to present day. I'll post pics tomorrow of the whole collection.

Re: Christmas tree ornaments
I'd make them of all my previous vehicles but our tree is not big enough. I could put LEDs in them and hang them on the gutters out front
