Cricut’s Design Space has so many amazing options for designs and I was able to find some super cute ornament outlines I decided to use for these wood slices.  Its a fun variation of having those real ornaments on your tree, with all those intricate designs, but instead you get to see the gorgeous outline of one.

Once I had the designs ready to go, I used my Cricut Maker to cut the designs out of permanent vinyl.  I cut each ornament out so I could work with them a bit easier.  I used my weeding tool to take out all the pieces I was not using on the ornament. These did require a bit of patience because some of them had a bit more detail to them.
