Tutorial: Painting a Wood Slice Ornament with Acrylics

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

This project is a great one to do on a snowy day at home, or with a class full of students! In this video, I'll walk through how to paint your very own wood slice ornament using acrylic paint. Its a great project for students of all ages and there are so many different ways to make it your own!

Note: If you opt to do a different landscape design than the one I've shown here, especially if it includes mountains, I recommend sketching it lightly with pencil first so you know where the paint should stop.
