Materials

• Wood slice and twine or a pre-strung wood slice round ornament
• Acrylic paint in green and a foam paintbrush
• Pencil, paint pens (black, red, and yellow)
• Miniature Santa hats (can make one from red felt and a white pompom)
• Green marabou feather boa (or green feathers from your craft stash)
• Optional, ModPodge to seal

Tools

• Scissors
• Glue

Instructions

1. Use two or three coats to paint the wood slice green. Let dry completely.
2. Trace a face (we looked at a picture online) onto the wood slice. There are so many great faces online that it shouldn’t be hard to find one you like.
3. Fill in the eyes first with the yellow paint pen. Use the black paint pen to trace over the pencil. For younger kids, let them fill in the outline of heart with red paint pen. Outline in black.
4. Once dry, seal the adorable ornament with ModPodge to prevent the paint from chipping.
5. Cut a small piece of the boa or grab a few green feathers and glue them onto the top of the wood slice. Glue a mini Santa hat on top of the boa.
6. Glue on a hanging string, if needed.
