Super easy wood tag Christmas ornament DIY
Christmas will be here before we know it! Last year I started a 30 days of DIY Christmas ornaments challenge for myself and I got so crazy busy with orders from my shop that I couldn’t squeeze very many in. I completely underestimated how busy I would be last year.
This year I have toned my shop down a lot. I am in a place where I am no longer making finished home décor items {thank goodness because while I LOVE creating it does take more time to make finished pieces than it does to create files and craft kits} and I am solely focusing on SVG’s, DIY craft kits, and writing craft tutorials for you to enjoy.

I’m just going to pick up where I left off last year with my 30 days of DIY Christmas ornaments.
DAY 7 of my 30 days of DIY Christmas ornaments I made a simple stamped wood tag with wood bead accents to hang it from.
These little wooden beads are SUPER POPULAR right now. And for good reason because they are so versatile. I have used them for photo accents, bead garland, Christmas ornaments, keychains, the list goes on.
Today I used them on this ornament and it was super easy to make. It took just minutes to make AND there was virtually NO MESS to clean up after.
Here’s what you’ll need to make a stamped wood tag Christmas ornament
-
black ink pad (this one is similar to the one I used)
1.STAMP
The first thing I did was think of a saying. I wanted this one to say “O come let us adore Him”. It’s short and sweet and the reason for the season. Mine is FAR from perfect but that’s what makes handmade so special anyway.
I had a paper towel on hand so I could stamp off the excess. I lightly tapped the stamp onto the black stamp pad. You do not want a heavy hand for this. Then again lightly pressed it onto my wooden tag. Very lightly. If you press too hard you’ll get markings from the edges of the stamp. You may want to practice this a few times on your paper towel before trying it on the wooden tag.
Then I let that dry.
2. ADD BAKERS TWINE
Next I added my bakers twine. I used one that was white and had a bit of silver in it. I just eyeballed a length I wanted. Folded it in half and fed the looped end through the hole in my wood tag. Then I pulled the loose ends through the loop to secure it onto the tag.
3. ADD BEADS
The beads I used were fairly small and it was difficult to feed the twine through the small holes. I added a piece of masking tape to the open ends of the twine to make it easier.
I fed three small beads onto the twine then tied a knot at the top of the beads so they stayed in place.
4. KNOT THE TWINE
I removed the tape and tied the two ends of the bakers twine together so I could hang it on the Christmas Tree.
That’s it. No painting, no glue gun, no fuss really. Super simple Christmas ornament you can even make with the kiddos.
