Get creative this Christmas! Making your own Christmas wood crafts is a lot of fun, and the possibilities are endless. With this guide, you’ll learn how to make wood Christmas decorations with just a few basic tools and materials.
Making your own Christmas wood crafts is the perfect way to add a personal touch to your Christmas decorations. While you can use all kinds of materials to make Christmas decorations, wood is ideal for making a room feel cosier. Many homemade wood Christmas decorations are also surprisingly straightforward to make – you don’t necessarily need carpentry skills or tools!
Here are some simple ideas to get you started:
Wondering which wood Christmas decorations to make? Start simple with this step-by-step guide.
If the wooden shape is small and light, drill a hole at the top and attach a piece of string or ribbon to make an original Christmas tree decoration.
To make a larger, more complex decoration, you could even glue multiple shapes together using super glue.
If you want to make Christmas decorations out of wood, you’ll need a few basic materials, tools and products, such as:
Cutting thicker pieces of wood is much easier if you have the right tools to hand. We recommend using a jigsaw or scroll saw – they’re cheap, easy to use and versatile. Alternatively, try using a coping saw for basic designs.
Choosing the right glue is also an important part of making Christmas wood crafts. You need a strong super glue that’s easy to use, so you don’t risk making a mess and having to start from scratch. Loctite Super Glue Liquid Brush On is perfect for precise application, especially if you’re working with larger surfaces. If you only need to apply small spots of glue, try Loctite Super Glue Liquid Control. Both adhesives bond in just a few seconds and dry transparent, so the glue on your finished decoration will be invisible.
