Monogrammed Wood Slice Ornaments

For Day 9 of the 12 Days of Handmade Ornaments series I decided to dig deep into my southern roots and make a monogrammed ornament to share with y'all! A gold and white monogrammed wood slice ornament to be precise. I actually made these last year for several friends and family members and they were a big hit. Everyone loves something with their own initials on it.

Here's how I did it:

Supplies:

• Wood slices* (here's a link to a pack of 20 if you don't need quite that many!)
• Martha Stewart Multi-Surface Gold Paint (*affiliate link)
• Paint brush
• Circle monogram letters image (for reference)
• Painter's White Paint Marker (*affiliate link)
• Drill
• Ribbon

Here's your one-sentence tutorial: grab a wood slice ornament (I sliced mine up from a log at my in-laws' house, but you can also buy them online), paint it gold, draw monogram letters on it, drill a hole in the top and hang it!

I freehanded the letters, but used this awesome image of a circle monogram font so I would know how to draw them.

{Preppy and Personalized}

Here's what the wood slices look like from one step to the next:

Once I got the hang of drawing the letters like the font above, these were a piece of cake to make. I hope this tutorial inspires you to get creative with your ornaments!
