Wood cutouts can be added to almost any craft project.
You can purchase wood cutouts at any craft and hobby store. You may also want to make them yourself if you have a special design in mind. Pre-made cutouts come in a variety of shapes and sizes and require little or no sanding. There are a multitude of crafts that can be made out of cutouts for special occasions, holidays or just simply for decoration.
Ornaments
Wood cutouts are popular choices for making easy ornaments. Both kids and adults can paint their favorite shapes, such as Christmas trees, snowmen and angels. Purchase pre-drilled cutouts or drill your own using a small drill. Tie a piece of ribbon or raffia through the hole.
Signs
You can put signs almost anywhere; on the wall, desk or table. Make a sign for a dog house or baby's room with shapes to match. For the baby's room, choose child-themed cutouts such as bottles, shoes or bibs. Paint the signs and then glue to a piece of wood.
Magnets
Magnets make fun crafts for kids and they are very simple projects to complete. Kids can paint their favorite animal or the letters of their name and glue magnets to the back of their finished pieces. Place them on the fridge to encourage play or for posting notes.
Wall Decor
Hanging decorative letters for wall decoration is a trend in many homes and offices. Words such as LOVE, HOME and FAMILY can be painted to match the color of the room and displayed. Small, medium and large sizes are available to match your preferences.
House Numbers
Wood cutouts also make handy house numbers. Instead of plain metal numbers, make bright and colorful numbers customized by you. For a fun project, each member of the household can paint and design a number. Make the letters long-lasting and protect the paint by spraying with a weather-resistant gloss.
Key Chains
Wood cutouts come in small enough sizes to create key chains. Paint the letters of your name or the shape of your favorite animal. Remember, some cutouts come with drilled holes, but if not, simply drill a small hole and add a ring for the key chain.
