Wood Slice Christmas Tree Ornament
Submitted to Community Chat
I LOVE decorating for the holidays <3
Grab a tree trunk, or branch and get sawing some slices! Lay a slice over grid paper, trace the outer shape, cut it out, & then from point to point, create your design. Lay the design over your slice & using a permanent marker, press down on each point. Remove the paper & drill out the holes. Spray Paint it black & let it dry. Dab your finger in white paint and smudge it over the top creating that chalkboard effect. Let it dry. Thread some embroidery floss onto a strong metal needle & sew, sew away! (I added some clear glass beads) Make a larks head knot using jute or sisal rope, top it with a bead and tie it off. To hide the mess in the back, lay the slice over felt, trace it, cut it, & hot glue it on. Now for the best part! Hang it on your lovely tree for all to see. These even make great name tags on gifts <3
