Christmas Tree Holiday Domino Necklace or Ornament

These dominos make a nice small gift item for the season or a treat for yourself. I like to cover the back of the dominoes with suede or velveteen paper to add a bit of class to them. These domino projects from Posh Impressions can be EITHER a necklace or ornament.
