Wood Shape Ornaments..so many ways to decorate them!

 Wood cutouts in holiday themed shapes can be found at your local craft stores at very reasonable prices....like maybe $.99 each when they're full price.    I went to a mall today and looked at the beautiful holiday tree displays the department stores had with ornaments in varying themes.  There seemed to be many ornaments they were selling that were made to look handmade but obviously mass produced.    

You can make your own themed holiday ornaments to fill your tree for hundreds of dollars less than what a department store would cost.   These are some I've made for my handmade tree using wood cutouts and various supplies to decorate them.  The gingerbread man is covered in felt and edged in tinsel pipe cleaners.  You can also see glitter in various forms, including glitter mod podge on the stocking (who knew?), fine glitter on the star and coarse large glitter on the tree.  I've also pulled out some buttons and ribbon to embellish them.  

I actually saw a gold glittery word ornament at a department store today for $12.  This one cost me about $1.20!   I bought the unfinished wood cutout at JoAnn's and then painted it with gold glitter paint and tied a piece of twine to it to hang.  

What other supplies have you used to embellish wood cutouts?
