Tree slices are among the best materials to create any kind of decor, not only rustic. These are great artwork backdrops, ornaments, coasters and favors and if you feel like crafting for Halloween, grab a couple of tree slices and let’s make some stuff!

How To Prepare Tree Slices For Crafting?

First of all, make or buy them of the desired thickness and remember that if you are going to make tree ornaments, they shouldn’t be too heavy as the branches won’t be able to hold them then. Make sure that the surface is sleek not to get a splinter or a problem while painting.

How To Make Halloween Tree Slice Ornaments?

If you want to make some ornaments for a Halloween tree, for some branches or just to hang on the wall, you can do that in several ways. Number one idea is painting: paint some letters, some scene, some cute ghost or black cat or something else depending on your Halloween theme or style. Stick to the colors you like, and even if you are bad at painting, you can still choose some easy designs or go for letters only. One more idea is for those who are in a hurry or don’t like painting: just use stencils or stickers to create the look you want. The last but not least is wood burning, here the possibilities are also endless, from the simplest ones to real art. After you finish the design, seal it, especially if you are painting it. Add a piece of yarn or twine to the whole and hang it where you want.

How To Make Halloween Tree Slice Coasters?

Don’t drill any holes in your tree slices as we aren’t going to hang them. The ways to make a coaster are bascially the same: painting, stickers and stencils, wood burning, and the designs are totally up to you and what you like. After you finish, cover the coasters with a resin coat to make them as durable as possible as they  will have to withstand high temperatures.

How To Make Halloween Tree Slice Art?

If you feel like decorating your mantel or console with some unique art, go for a tree slice one. I’d recommend to choose a large piece of wood to make your design more visible but small pieces are also lovely. Turn on your imagination to realize what you want: a ghost or a cat, a haunted house or a skull, spiders or snakes, and choose the technique you like – you can do anything including applique! Make your piece last longer sealing it if possible. Your artwork can be also hung on the wall, and you can even make a gallery wall or a vertical string with art pieces for Halloween.
