Do you love rustic christmas decor? Then I have the tutorial for you: Grab a piece of wood and make these easy and cute Christmas ornaments!

You’ll need:

• scrap wood, such as spruce or pine
• handsaw
• rasp
• sandpaper
• drill

Use cookie cutters to make paper patterns for the wood ornaments: I used star, heart and tree cookie cutters.

Trace around the paper pattern with a pencil.

Using a hand saw, cut out the star.

Smooth the wood with a fine wood rasp and sandpaper.

You can distress the wooden Christmas ornaments to give them a rustic look.

The heart is made differently: Roughly cut out a heart shape with straight saw cuts.

Round the edges with a wood rasp.

Then smooth the wood with sandpaper.

Now drill holes into the wood, thread ribbon through the holes and tie to make a hanger. You can leave the wood ornaments like this or stain the wood naturally with steel wool and vinegar. This was the 9th project of my Advent Calendar.
