My wood slice napkin rings were a big hit at Thanksgiving Dinner and I thought it would be fun to look at some other crafts made from wood slices. Did you know you can even buy wood slices at Michael’s right now?
Grab an old branch or trim a tree {or hit up the craft store} and make one of these fun projects!

Or hollow out a large wood slice to make a modern Christmas wreath.

Add wood slices to a vase to make a rustic vessel for flowers.

I have some beautiful pecan wood slices. What would you suggest I do too preserve then without changing the rustic look of them? I don’t want them shiny.

What about trying a matte mod podge? It would give you a slight sheen but definitely wouldn’t be shiny.
