Once again I’m validating myself for saving scraps!

My daughter wanted to start making ornaments for gifts so after looking around we found scrap wood that we could cut into cubes, which became inspiration for these cute present ornaments!

All you need to do is:

• Sand a wooden block if not smooth. *If you don’t have scrap wood or a saw to cut wood any craft store, Walmart, and Amazon, sells wooden cubes
• Paint the block a base color with craft paint
• Add dots (we used a toothpick), stripes, or whatever pattern you choose in an accent color. We love how the gold looks kind of Christmas-y!
• Add ribbon like you’re wrapping a present

Tip: Save ribbon when it comes on blankets, towels, or other gifts and later use it for crafts!

• Cut a piece (roughly 6”) of twine, string, smaller ribbon, or whatever you have to be the loop for hanging. Thread it under the bow on top of the present. You can add a dot of hot glue under the ribbon for extra strength too

Ta da!! How cute are they as a little collection?!

A great craft for elementary aged or even preschool kids with help.

Let me know if you try it!
