Y’all I just made the cutest DIY Ornaments for Christmas and I know you are going to love them. Easy DIY Christmas Ornaments are hand painted upon light weight wooden pieces. They are also great for gift tags as well as ornaments.

Even if you don’t like DIY projects, I think you will love how easy these are to make.

Prepare your Boards

First, you want to prepare your unfinished wooden boards. I used two sizes for my ornaments these with the scalloped edges and these rectangle boards.

Begin by using a cordless drill to drill a hole in the top center on each board.

See detailed instructions for creating your designs here.



I like to define the hair and halo specifically and the light touch along the other raised areas of the design.

Buff the waxed surface with a fresh rag until the ornament is smooth.

To finish, you may want to add additional gold paint o highlight the main areas of your design. This is optional, but I found the extra gold helps to give the color more dimension and contrast. See more tips and details here.

These are working well with my neutral colors in the loft this year. We also made this Christmas Tree Container.
