DIY Wood Plaque Christmas Ornaments
Hi friends, I’m Rebecca from The Crafted Sparrow. I’m so happy to be back again for another year of holiday fun. Each year I love to create at least one or two new sets of DIY ornaments for my Christmas decor. Today I’m sharing these easy to make DIY Wood Christmas Ornaments with you.
DIY Wood Plaque Christmas Ornaments
Supplies:
Wood Slats, 6 pack
Acrylic Paint
Foam Brush
Vinyl Stencils
Cricut Explore Air 2 to cut stencils
Transfer Paper/Tape
Bakers Twine, String, or Ribbon
Hot Glue Gun
I love using these. You can pretty much make a ton of cute ornaments with them.
I designed my Christmas sayings in a photo editing program and then uploaded the designs to my Design Space account for the Cricut Explore. I created a cuttable file with them.
I then sized them to fit the wood slats and cut them on the vinyl. Weed any of the vinyl pieces you don’t want.
I kept my wood slats raw, but if you want them to be a specific color you can paint them at this point and let them dry before adding the vinyl stencil.
Using transfer paper/tape you can apply the vinyl stencils to your wood slats carefully. Use your smoothing tool to get out all the air bubbles.
Using your acrylic paint and a foam brush gently sponge on the first layer of paint. Add a second layer of paint and let dry briefly.
Remove the vinyl stencil before it’s completely dry.
To create a hanger for them simply hot glue some bakers twine, ribbon, or string to the back of the wood plaques. Otherwise you can just wedge them in the tree like I did below.

Every single thing that Rebecca does strikes a chord in me. I think it’s my love of simple graphics and black and white.
