DIY Wood Slice Chalkboard Ornaments

Among the Three Angels adoptive “mamas in waiting” we decided to do a handmade ornament exchange. We drew names and I decided to make a chalkboard log slice ornament.

How to cut natural wood slices

I love the trend of using log slices for different projects, so I got a log from our wood pile and cut a slice off using our miter saw. If you don’t have access to logs or a miter saw they’re pretty affordable to purchase here. *contains affiliate link*

Then I drilled a hole through the wood slice.

Next I used Chalkboard Paint to paint a black surface onto the slices.

Then I used a variety of paint pens and red acrylic paint to paint on the surface.

Thankfully my friend Kathryn was there who does some AMAZING chalkboard designs. Without her help mine would have looked like a kindergarten drawing!

I ended up making one to send for my exchange, and two to hang on our tree!

Then I just strung some red ribbon through the ornaments to hang them.

If you need a simple handmade Christmas gift these DIY wood slice chalkboard ornaments are the perfect solution! They’d also make a great backdrop for a baby’s handprint or footprint.

    Hey! Those are simply beautiful! What type wood did you use? I’ve been wanting to make some for a while and bows a good time to start!
    Thanks, Stephanie

      Honestly I’m not positive! It was just from the wood in our yard! I know you can buy wood slices too, if I were to make more I might just do that instead.
