Wood Slice Ornaments: the perfect 30 minutes gift idea that your loved ones will enjoy year after year.
DIY WOOD SLICE ORNAMENTS
Every year I set up a smaller Christmas tree in the living room that the kids get to decorate with all of their homemade ornaments, school ornaments, and special ornaments we have collected and made over the years. Looking back over the ornaments made and given to us is a fun Christmas activity. These Wood Slice ornaments are a fun activity to make with your kids and something you can keep for years to come. Don’t forget to write their name and age on the back! It’s so easy to forget as the years go by.
I also love to give homemade ornaments as gifts. They are fun, quick, and who doesn’t love something homemade. These little wood slice ornaments can also work as gift tags, which is a fun way to add a personalized touch when wrapping. We decided to make a couple of different versions. We made a Santa, Snowman, Penguin and an Elf. I personally love the snowman and Santa! All of them were very simple and only required a few steps and supplies!
Base paint your wood slices in the colors needed for the design you chose. – Santa: white and red – Elf: green – Snowman: white – Penguin: black and white
Add a white pom pom to your Santa and Elf. Add additional white fluff around the base of hats.
Paint or draw on your faces and face features.
Hot glue (adults only) a piece of jute to the back of the wood slice or thread through hole if your wood slices were predrilled.
They are such a fun gift idea and can easily be made under 30 minutes which makes it a perfect naptime craft!

I’m looking for these today. This is such a fun project for the kids to do this weekend. We’ve actually added their own tree in the loft this year so these will be perfect!
I am actually wanting to use my own trees as I have access to a man, a chainsaw and a TON of trees. DO you have any idea if there is a particular type of wood that should be used?
Where did you get the tree slice pieces? I hope you’re not going to say the oblivious…..from my tree!! I’d love for you to,say they’re available at your craft store!!

Does the wood need to be dry.? If so, how long does it need to dry?
Carol K says
Thanks, Katie!! I’m off to Michael’s to see if they have these. I hope to have my granddaughter make the snowman ones with me.
