Wood Slice Ornament Painting

This is the project I've been doing with my junior high classes the last week of school before the Christmas break. Wood slice ornaments!

I also offered this last year as a staff workshop. We had a lot of fun!

I bought wood slice ornaments from both Dolarama and Amazon. The Amazon ones were bigger but terrible. 50% of them cracked either the next day, or after they were painted. So 10/10 do not recommend unless you live in a humid climate, which I definitely do not. The Dollarama ones were great, though, with no splits.
