Supplies:

Step 1: Paint the background color. (I used an off white.)

Step 2: Print out words / letters in desired font and size to fit oval wood shape.

Step 3: Center the printout over the wood shape and trace the letters with a ball point pen. Use heavy pressure to create an indent in the wood.

Step 4: Use a fine brush to paint on and inside the indent.

Step 5: Drill two holes for twine using 7/16″ bit in a dremel or regular drill.

Step 6: Stain using Minwax provincial.

Step 8: Prepare the berry decoration by tying together some berries and greenery with red ribbon.

Step 9: Add the twine hanger by threading through the holes and tying a knot. Then hote glue the berries in place in between and trim ribbon ends.

Your ornament is ready to be hung.
