wood slice ornaments. These would make great neighbor gifts!

I don’t know about you, but now that we’re into December, I’m officially into Christmas prep mode. I’m going to show you how I made these wood ornaments that would look great as a collection on your tree, or would make perfect gifts for friends and neighbors.

DIY Wood Slice Ornaments

Start by cutting a branch into discs and drill a hole in the tops.

A drill press is the easiest way to do this, but you can use a regular drill as well. (Place your wood slice onto a block of wood so that it stays stable if using a regular drill.)

Sand the faces so they’re a little smoother and the vinyl will stick better.

Cut out various vinyl shapes/words with a die cutter {we love the Silhouette Cameo!} to decorate the wood slices. I did a white nativity, a turquoise deer head and a pink JOY. Then, since I can’t leave well-enough alone…I added pink glitter paint to the Joy ornament to add some sparkle!

To keep with the rustic look (you know, aside from the glittery vinyl and all! haha) I used twine to make the hangers. Tie a small loop through the hole of the wood, then tie a larger one through there that you’ll actually use to hang the ornament. If you just did one loop through the wood, the ornament would twist when you hang it on the tree. So my solution was to use two loops so the wood slice ornaments would hang straight.

So, go find a branch somewhere and get cutting!

What would you put on wood slice ornaments? Who would you give them to?
