I’m super excited to share with you my latest and greatest printables- introducing my 3-D Printable Jesse Tree Ornaments e-book!
If you have ever wanted to incorporate the Jesse Tree into your advent traditions in a meaningful and interactive way for your kids, then now it’s all made easy in my e-book. The digital book contains everything you need to add the Jesse Tree to your own family’s Advent- just add the tree! Included are a brief description and history of the Jesse Tree, supplies list, Bible readings for each day, and 24 3-D printable Jesse Tree ornaments- one for each day of December leading up to Christmas (in B&W and digitally colored versions)!
For each day there is a two page spread containing the title of the person/event, their symbol, a difficulty rating for the craft activity, an approximate amount of time to assemble, the Bible reading for that day and step by step instructions for assembling your 3-D ornament.
The ornaments vary in difficulty and time it takes to assemble them. Some are easy enough for any kid who can cut with scissors to complete, while others may be more appropriate for older kids. No matter what age they are, your children will enjoy personalizing the ornaments by coloring in the black and white versions themselves!
What’s great about this tradition is that it can be as much or as little as you want! You can make all the ornaments, one for each day in December, or pick and choose just a few based on your own family’s abilities. It last the entire length of advent (minus a day or two on the front end).

For most ornaments you will need regular white cardstock, otherwise plain white paper is fine. I recommend using glue dots for assembly, and you will need 2 little metal brads (or you could just use glue dots and it just won’t be a moveable ornament). The last thing you need is time to spend together reflecting on the readings, coloring and putting together these fun ornaments.
You can purchase the e-book with all the ornaments, readings and instructions today and the next two days for just $8! This sale is to say thank you to all my frequent readers and subscribers! After that, the e-book will be available for $10.

I just bought this … its beautiful! I printed out the directions and the Color ornaments. The colors came out excellent .. i don’t know if its the file or the printer (Epson WF-3620 with settings in Matte and high color). Just a caution … some of the dates aren’t correct on the printable ornament pages so don’t get confused as to which ornament is for which date. Just follow the directions. (These pages have incorrect dates: 60,62,76,88,90,104,108.)
Again beautiful Jesse tree!!! Thank-you and glad you are drawn to be creative!!!
