Wood Slice Grinch Ornament
An easy Grinch craft for kids, this DIY Grinch Ornament is a fun way to add some whimsy to your Christmas decor.
DIY Grinch Ornament Craft
Anyone else put up multiple Christmas trees for the holidays?
We have one main tree in our living room and three smaller ones throughout the house. The main tree is always decorated with our special family ornaments and then we get a little creative with the smaller trees – theming them, making fun homemade ornaments for them, etc.
This year, we bought a package of unfinished wood slice ornaments to paint as one of our Advent activities and we’ve been having so much fun coming up with different ideas and designs.
This trio of Grinch ornaments was a super fun and easy option. I just free-handed the Grinch’s face, but you can alternatively use transfer paper to trace over a picture of the Grinch and then trace it onto the wood slice. (We even have a Printable Grinch Template for our bookmark craft that you can enlarge to use for tracing.)
I think it would be so much fun to do a tree dedicated to favorite Christmas characters – especially book-inspired characters.
If you plan to use these ornaments year after year, I highly recommend using a craft sealant to prevent the ornaments from fading or being damaged in storage.

Tip: if you’re not comfortable free-hand drawing the Grinch’s face, you can use transfer paper to trace over a picture of him and then trace onto your wood slice.
How to Make a Grinch Wood Slice Ornament
Remove the twine that comes on the wood slice.
Paint the wood slice green. (2-3 coats) Allow paint to dry completely.
Use a pencil to trace the Grinch’s face onto the ornament.
Use a yellow paint pen to fill in the eyes. Allow to dry completely.
Use a black paint pen to paint the facial features. (mouth, eyes etc) Allow to dry completely.
Use a red paint pen to draw a heart onto one ornament and outline with a black paint pen. Allow to dry completely.
Allow the paint to dry fully before sealing the craft with craft sealant, if using.
Cut a piece of the marabou feather boa and glue onto the top of the wood slice.
Glue a miniature Santa hat on top of the marabou feather boa. (skip this step for the heart ornament)
Restring the ornament using the twine that it came with, or festive baking twine like we did.
Your ornament is done and ready to hang on the tree.
