Wood Slice Ornaments

Creating personalized holiday ornaments can be a delightful and budget-friendly way to spruce up your festive decorations. You don’t need to splurge! Transform simple and cost-effective natural wood slices into charming custom ornaments using your favorite special effect heat transfer vinyl (HTV).

These versatile wood slices can serve multiple purposes during the holiday season. While they make fantastic ornaments for your Christmas tree, they can also double up as wine bottle tags, gift tags, and so much more!

Serving Tray

No holiday table setting is truly complete without the addition of a personalized tray! Acquire a pre-made tray that’s ready for customization or start from scratch with an unfinished wood slice. Easily customize with Permanent Sign Vinyl, or add creative personalization with UltraColor® MAX direct-to-film transfers!

Note: Coat the decorated side with clear epoxy or polyurethane sealant

Elevate your festive attire with holiday spirit through the use of special effect heat transfer vinyl (HTV), like the eye-catching CAD-CUT® Adhesive and Foil. These unique materials transform an ordinary T-shirt with shimmer and shine that’s sure to catch everyone’s eye!
