Yes, it's been two years, but I am still crafting!
Every year I give my grandchildren an ornament, so that when they move away form home, they will have a collection of memories to decorate their tree with. This year I decided to give them handmade ornaments with their initial burned onto it.
I found a font I liked and printed it. While I was doing that, my husband was slicing 1/2 inch thick rounds of wood, from a branch we found in the yard.

Using a piece of carbon paper, I traced the letter onto the wood.

I used the image as a guideline for burning the wood.

When I finished, it looked like this.

Using a dremel, (or you could use a drill,) I made a hole at the top of the ornament.

I threaded some ribbon through the hole.

I also put the date on the back

And hung it on the tree.
