In today’s guide, we’ll take a closer look at the best wood craft ideas for Christmas and cover some of our most popular wooden Christmas cutouts. So, let’s get started!

The best DIY wooden Christmas cutouts

Rustic wooden cutouts are great for holiday decorating because they can be placed upright on coffee tables, hung on entryways, placed on or under the Christmas tree, or put up on mantelpieces. These are just a few ideas to get you started, but in the sections below, we’ll dive into some of our favorite wooden cutouts for Christmas so that your home can be brimming with holiday spirit!

Wooden Christmas tree cutouts

Wooden Christmas tree cutouts are some of the best ways to decorate your living space in December.

Add just a little bit of paint and you can turn standard wooden snowmen into happy, smiling symbols of Christmas cheer.

Wooden Christmas treat cutouts

How to decorate wood Christmas cutouts

You have tons of freedom to go in just about any creative direction you want, but if you want family and friends to instantly associate your cutouts with the Christmas season, there are a few easy ways to make it happen. You can paint your cutouts with traditional holiday colors like red, green, white, and gold. For added wow or texture, consider using glitter, metallic markers, and even puffy paint. Decoupage with holiday-themed paper or fabric is another creative option, allowing you to mix different patterns and designs.

Want something a bit more rustic? Try staining the wood for a natural feel, and then add embellishments like twine, small pinecones, and faux snow. Add-ons like stick-on gems, tiny bells, or mini bows can bring even more charm to your creations!
