10 Ornaments by Diana Thompson

Introduction

I think Christmas is the most wonderful season to design for.1 It always brings to mind the lights in children's eyes when they see a decorated Christmas tree. This projcct is special because some of the ornaments, such as the circle, square, and heart shapes, are simple enough that children can even help paint them. So what if they aren't perfect? You and the children will have a joyful time together.

I made the ornaments from l/8"-thick plywood. Thicker wood can be used, but remember fo enlarge the slots accordingly. (For example, if you use 1/4"-thick wood, the slots will have to be 1/4" thick, as well.) If you end up with some gaps between the slots, don't worry—you can fill 'em in with glue! And paint covers a multitude of sins!

Have fun, and most of all, have a very blessed ChrisfmasI
