Making these simple Dollar Tree Christmas ornaments from wood blocks was a great Christmas craft with the kiddo!
Dollar Tree Christmas Ornaments from Wood Blocks
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I do a lot of really adult-level crafting. But sometimes the kiddo wants to get involved and make something with me. So we decided to make these simple Dollar Tree Christmas ornaments from wood blocks.

A super easy craft, I could have let the kiddo do it all on her own, even, but she wanted the “together time” so we crafted as a team. Between us, I think we made a dozen of these in about 30 minutes. So, grab a paintbrush and let’s get started.

Tips to Make This DIY Christmas Ornament
- Don’t feel constrained by the words I chose to paint on the ornaments. I mean, anything works – the year, Santa, Joy, whatever.
- If you can’t find the little blocks at your Dollar Tree (they’re in the kids/toys section), you can grab some here. They’re just little blocks, which you can easily cut from a 2×4 if you wanted to even.
- As far as decorations, I found these adorable little bows with bells already on them, but you could use ribbon to make your own bows, add a tiny poinsettia flower, or anything – these would look adorable even without an embellishment.

I’m so glad you asked. Below is our written tutorial.
Dollar Tree Christmas Ornaments from Wood Blocks
A super fast project, making these Dollar Tree Christmas ornaments from wood blocks is a simple way to make a Christmas craft with the kiddo!
Materials
- Wood Block Game Set
- 12 Pack of Mini Bows
- Jute Cord/Twine
- Green Acrylic Paint
- Red Acrylic Paint
- Black Acrylic Paint
Tools
- Scissors
- Wood Glue
- Hot Glue Gun with Glue Sticks
- Small foam paint brush (or any small paint brush you may have)
- Small detail brush (for writing letters)
Instructions
- Using wood glue, affix 2 blocks together, side by side. Take care to press the wood blocks together firmly and wipe away excess glue with a paper towel. Allow the glue to set for 2-3 hours (it will fully cure in 24 hours, but should be solid enough to handle in just 2-3 hours).
- Using a foam brush, all sides of the joined blocks. We painted 6 blocks green and 6 red. Allow the paint to dry completely.
- Hot glue a contrasting bow to the top of each block set.
- Use a small detail brush with black paint to paint words such as “Joy”, “Noel”, “Love”, “Hope”, and “2020” on the bottom of each wood block ornament. Allow the paint to dry.
- Cut one 3-inch long piece of twine for each ornament.
- Hot glue both ends of the twine to the top of an ornament on the back side, creating a loop from the twine from which to hang your ornament. Allow the hot glue to dry completely then you're ready to hang your ornaments on the tree!
