Monogrammed Wood Slice Ornament

November 13, 2014 By Dusty Rogers 18 Comments

It’s Day 2 of the 12 Days of handmade Christmas ornaments, and today I’m sharing my DIY monogrammed wood slice ornament.  In case you haven’t heard, monograms + rustic + plaid = this year’s Christmas trifecta!

(Or maybe I just made that up.)

(Feel free to nod your head and smile.)

My inspiration for this project was this wood slice coaster I found at Michaels.

It seemed like it was just itching for a monogram, so I added one using a modified version of my easy chalkboard lettering tutorial.  I printed out a letter “R” onto plain printer paper, centered it over the wood slice, and taped it at the top and bottom so it would stay in place.  Then I traced over the black lines of the letter with a pencil, pressing with medium firmness so the pencil would slightly indent the wood slice where I traced.

The result?  Little lines created in your wood slice, guiding you exactly where to draw!

I used a fine-tipped red Sharpie marker to trace the indented lines and color in the solid outline.

To finish, I inserted a screw eye into the top and added a ribbon for hanging.

    These are the cutest! How big are the letters when printed? Am I able to adjust the size? I’m soooo computer illiterate :/

      Thank you, Melissa! The letters are approx. 1.75″ high. You cannot adjust the size of them with the pdf, but could create your own letters if you’d like a different size. Hope that helps!
