Woodland Deer Ornament
This adorable woodland deer ornament is made from wood slice rounds, a bit of felt, and a little paint. Let’s make this fun and quick Christmas craft.
Materials
- Wood slice and twine or a pre-strung wood slice round ornament
- Acrylic paint in light brown
- Felt in dark brown, pink, and black and a foam paintbrush
- Black paint pen or marker
Tools
- Glue and scissors
- Optional, ModPodge to seal and a foam brush
Instructions
- Trace the wood slice onto a piece of dark brown felt and cut out the circle. Trim off the sides of the circle (see images) so that it resembles the face shape shown.
- Prepare the wood slice by painting it a light brown. It might need two coats. Let dry.
- While the paint is drying, cut out a small circle for the nose. For the ears, cut two light brown triangle shapes and two smaller pink triangle shapes. Glue the pink triangles to the brown and let dry. Then, pinch the bottom of the ear together and glue (older kids can sew).
- Once the paint has dried, glue the face shape onto the wood slice, lining it up with the top. Glue on the nose and ears.
- Use a paint pen or marker to create a closed eye (with or without eyelashes). Once dry, seal the adorable ornament with ModPodge to prevent the paint from chipping.
- Glue on a hanging string, if needed.
