Wood Slice Nativity Ornaments
This project technically began a few years ago. We had several large branches that we cut off our cherry tree. I kept them, let them dry out, and then sliced them up. I decided I wanted to add to our Nativity ornament collection, so I cut out nativity scenes on tattoo paper with my Silhouette.

What a fun idea to use tattoo paper for theses. They look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun! I've never used tattoo paper but definitely want to try it now!
ReplyDeleteRachel, I love these for two reasons. They are an easy wood slice ornament to make and that they have the nativity on them. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get a tattoo papers?
ReplyDeleteIt is Silhouette brand tattoo paper. You can get it on Amazon - I've updated the supplies with my affiliate link, if you're interested.
DeleteI absolutely love these. It is such a good idea to use the tattoo paper and they have the nativity on them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! Who knew there was nativity tattoos!!
ReplyDeleteI created them with my Silhouette and tattoo paper
DeleteThat's such a clever idea, the ornaments turned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party this week. Pinned!
I had never heard of tattoo paper will have to try and find some. These are super cute. Thanks for sharing on Bloggers pit stop.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea to use tattoos. I'll have to remember this since I have so many wood slices. Pinned.
ReplyDeleteWanting to do these this year for my ornament exchange I'm doing and was wondering about how big where your wood slices.
ReplyDeleteMy wood slices were on the small side. They were anywhere from 1 1/2" to 3" in diameter. You can really use whatever size you want (or have available to you) and adjust the size of your cutout tattoos to fit. Good luck with your ornaments! If you care to share, I'd love to see how they turn out!
DeleteThank you so much...I have order the tattoo papers and the wood slices so hoping to begin working on them in the coming week and yes i will post a pick of them once they are done. thanks again pamela
ReplyDeletehow long do these last?
ReplyDeleteThe tattoo paper on the wood slices have lasted me a couple years. I haven't seen any sign of wear on them yet. Of course, they're not handled a lot.
