DIY Modern Wood Christmas Ornaments

I’ve only shown a few Christmas posts this year, but can you guess my theme yet? I’ve shared this DIY Plate Charger Wreath, a Large Scale Christmas Print and now these DIY Modern Wood Christmas Ornaments! I’m definitely sticking with my love for black and white Christmas decor and will be including pops of red and lots of greenery this year.

For this fun ornament craft, I’m joining 20 other bloggers who are all sharing DIY Ornament Ideas. Keep scrolling to the botton to see them all.

Learn how to create these DIY Modern Wood Christmas Ornaments for your tree this year! These Scanvdivian inspired ornaments are a unique touch!

I always like to do things a little different. I like to keep my decor interesting and a little unexpected. I thought these ornaments bring about a little Scandinavian design that I often lean towards during the holidays. I love the black mixed with wood elements and woods beads are my favvvorite.

DIY Modern wood Christmas Ornaments using wood rounds and wood beads.

These are really fun ornaments to make and are super easy. You could definitely make them during a Christmas craft night because the paint dries super fast and there isn’t a lot of wait time needed between steps.

Make these Scandinavian inspired Christmas ornaments using craft wood rounds, black leather cording and wood beads. Such a unique Christmas ornament idea,

I was also thinking that you could turn these into key chains too! You would never lose your keys and they would look super cute!

DIY Wood Ornament Supplies

  • Wood Rounds
  • Painter’s Tape
  • Black Acrylic Paint
  • Black Leather Cording
  • Power Drill

Modern Wood Ornament Tutorial

Tape off your wood rounds using painter’s tape. Varying the lines to create unique patterns. You can even cut the tape in half to create smaller lines.

Paint over the lines using black acrylic paint and wait for it to dry.

Once the paint is dry, remove the tape and reveal your lines.

Drill the whole at the top and bottom of each round.

I then made little tassels using black leather cording,

I found that it was easiest to thread both pieces of the cording through the hole and tie in the back with a knot.

Scandinavian Inspired Ornaments

These DIY Modern Christmas Ornaments are really easy to make and add a unique touch to your Christmas decor.

Finish it off by threading a piece of cording through the top, placing a wood bead through, knot and then knot at the top to make a loop.

Hang them on your tree or on a branch. Or better yet, use them after Christmas as a key ring!

It’s the time of year when most of you are putti It’s the time of year when most of you are putting away your outdoor furniture to prepare for the winter… but this is actually when we use our backyard the most! Hot tub nights, dinner outside, computer days at the table and relaxing on the new U-shaped sectional. These are the most perfect fall days. We leave all our furniture out year round, it’s the only furniture I’ll own, no matter the climate.

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! W Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
