Making holiday ornaments on a budget is definitely a cinch with these easy Dollar Tree inspired idea using wood slice ornaments and a few brushes of paint!

Supplies

at least 2 packages of wood slices (one pack comes with 2 so you can make about 4 of them)
an assortment of acrylic paints and brushes
a drill with small bits (I am using a MagnaTools cordless drill)
string (shown in the pink container)
an image of designs to sketch on the slices
pencils
scissors
Optional: Mod Podge (not pictured but more information on that in the next few steps)

Step 1: Prep Wood Slices

First, open the packages of wood sliced and set them out. If you need to sand the fronts of them, feel free to do so.

Step 2: Drill Holes

Next, using a drill with either a HSS1.5 bit or HSS3.0 bit (I used both sizes), drill a hole on the top of each slice.

Step 3: Pencil Out Images

Now it’s time to add sketches of what you want to put on your ornaments. You can make any kinds of designs you want on these ornaments like these Disney character faces being made today! I used a projector to trace my images with my pencil but you can also draw them out freehand as well!

Step 4: Paint and Seal

Now this is where the fun part really begins! Adding color to these ornaments can really brighten them up! There is also an option to seal the deal with some gloss or matte mod podge. They also look great without decoupage too!
