Wood slices project

I am sharing this fun and easy project 

I am using wood slices I picked up at Wal-Mart.  But you can find them online or in stores. 

• package of wood slices

•  small Stencils 
• paint 

• Paint pens 

Place stencils on wood slices and hold done with painters tape. Use paint  to fill in design. After drying add details with paint pen. 

Hand-Lettered Wood Slice Ornaments

These hand-lettered ornaments focus on typography, allowing simple words and phrases to become the main design element. The natural wood background gives the lettering a clean, modern contrast.

Prepare the surface by sanding and optionally applying a thin whitewash using diluted white acrylic paint. Once dry, use a black paint pen or brush marker to carefully letter your design. Add small accents such as dots, branches, or simple borders to frame the text. Seal with a matte or satin finish and attach baker’s twine or ribbon for hanging.

Brush on a layer of mod podge over the wood slice. Press the napkin circle on to the wood slice and press gently with fingers. 

Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over top of the napkin and leave it to dry fully before applying on the back side.. For a hanger drill a small hole and screw in a screw with an eye. Add ribbon and decorations with hot glue.

Fall is Fallon's favorite season and there's so many reasons why. Through simple engaging text and beautiful friendly and cheerful illustrations, Fallon Favors Fall captures the essence and wonder of fall.
