Time to Deck the Halls Christmas Ornaments

Merry Christmas in July!!! So that means it’s time to Deck the Halls with some new Christmas Ornaments!!! I took some Wood Slice Ornaments and add some fun sayings and accents. They are sure to spruce up your Christmas Decorations!

I did my project with my Glowforge (if you would like more information on this please let me know). However, you can totally use vinyl. Also, with the proper blades you can also cut chipboard or wood on some of the cutters (please check your machine options for this).

This weeks FREE Christmas Ornaments can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 42. I have also created a video tutorial along with some directions on how I made my ornaments and some pointers! Remember to please share what you created!

Video Tutorial – Christmas Decorations – Wood Slice Ornaments

Here are the steps I took to make the Christmas Ornaments

Step 1 – Load the free cutting file into your favorite cutting software and size appropriately. I used the Glowforge, however, most cutters can cut thin birch or chipboard (check your cutting machine). In the video I show how i load it into the Glowforge app and send it to the Glowforge. I actually show a video of it cutting.

Step 2 – Cut your wood or vinyl. On the glow forge you need to mask your wood with paper transfer tape to protect from scorching. Also, you can paint your board ahead of time to save on painting later!!!

Step 3 – Once you have your wood or vinyl cut do your weeding. For the Glowforge that means removing the mask from the wood. I found the Gorilla duct tape works amazing!!! You can also use weeding tools, pin pen, etc

Step 4 – Paint your letters. I use the paint pens. They are quick and easy!! I can move pretty fast if I leave them in the board. However, tweezer helps hold it as well while you paint.

Step 5 – Once I painted my letters I then decided what l colors I wanted on my wood disks. I then painted those and set aside to dry. You can do this earlier if you know what color are going to be or if you follow my images!

Step 6 – Glue your letters to the wood. I use Gel super glue. However, they make 3m tape that you can place on the back of the board to make it super easy to put on your wood.

Step 7 – Once everything is attached now we can finish off our ornaments. I used some ribbon that I folded to form the bow and then wrapped twine around them. Pull tight and knot on the back side. Then add a drop of glue to the back of the knot.

Step 8 – Add some beads. I using twine put it through the hole of the disk. I found that using a piece of floral wire works wonders. I you can get a spool from the Dollar Tree. I use the wire like a needle threader. I bend a piece in half. Put my twine in it and then you it to put through the hole of the wood and the beads. When i put the last bead on I put a little drop of hot glue on the twine where the bead will be and then slide the bead over it and held for a second. Tie a knot at the top.

Step 9 – Glue your bow on. You are all done!!!
