How To Make A Christmas Pudding Wood Slice Ornament

A quick 10-minute craft to make a cute Christmas Pudding ornament out of a wood slice.

I’ve used wood slices in some of my Christmas crafts this year. They formed the base for my lovely felt Christmas trees and my cute dinosaur Christmas cloche. This time, I decided to make a wood slice ornament.

Because of their round, fat shape, I thought a wood slice would make a perfect Christmas pudding ornament.

After the Turkey, Christmas pudding is probably the second most famous element of a typical British Christmas dinner.

As a child, I wasn’t a huge fan of Christmas pudding and only ate it in the hope I would find one of the coins my mother hid in it. However, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to appreciate Christmas pudding as long as it’s served with lashings of brandy butter.

I’m not sure where else in the world they eat Christmas pudding. Is it part of your Christmas meal?

Materials Needed

How to Make a Christmas Pudding Wood Slice Ornament

Step 1: Colour the wood slice into a dark brown. I used some dark furniture wax I already had, as you can still see the rings in the wood after staining. You can, of course, use some brown paint.

Step 2: If your wood slice doesn’t already have one, drill a hole into the top for hanging.

Step 3: Using the cream/white felt cut out a piece to fit the top of the wood slice so it looks like the cream dripping down the top.

Step 4: Fold a small strip of green felt in half and cut out a small holy leaf shape. As the felt is unfolded, there will be two identical leaves. Stitch or glue 2 red beads to the holy leaves so they look like red berries.

Step 5: To finish the Christmas pudding decoration, glue the cream felt to the wood slice. Then, glue the holly and berries to the cream felt. Now, all that is left to do is decide where you are going to hang your wood slice ornament.

These wood slice ornaments are so quick and easy to make that you could make several at once and use some of them as Christmas present tags.
