Wood Slice Nativity Ornaments

nativity themed wood slice ornaments made with temporary tattoo paper

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.
