I made these stamped quilt ornaments for the farmhouse tree this year using unfinished wood slice ornaments. It was a quick re-learning of geometry in the process! The wood slice ornaments were from Michaels:

I made the stamps from Speedball speedy carve blocks because they are so easy to cut and shape. You could also cut some styrofoam to print with. Even a piece of potato or apple can make a temporary stamp!  It might take a little bit of experimenting to get the size of the shapes right for each pattern but once you figure it out the stamping is the easy part. You can search the web for “simple quilt square patterns” to come up with a wide variety for your tree. 

I used a small paintbrush to apply acrylic paint between stampings:

Here are a few ornaments in process:

I went with a white and red print to keep with my tree theme:

Quilts are an iconic farmhouse theme…I’m much better at stamping than sewing:

Patterns can range from very simple to complex:

I love that I had a new place to decorate this year! The Sixty-One Park Farmhouse was a blank slate for me this year. This was my 7th year doing the Dream Tree Challenge for Michaels. I know I did a farmhouse theme a few years ago but I went a modern farmhouse twist this year:

I started out using these oversized galvanized tags for the focal points of the tree. The calligraphy was done with a Sharpie oil paint pen:

“Farm Sweet Farm” was just one of many different sayings put on the large tags and each was tied to the tree with ribbon. The garland was made using bulk bins of unfinished wood beads:

For the quilt square ornaments I just I cut little stamps to create patterns on these unfinished wood slices:

My little lanterns came in a pack of six. I spray painted them white and added a little bit of greenery to the top:

The sign on the top of the tree is just a small unfinished sign that I added “Merry Christmas” to…and tied a simple burlap bow to the top:

Layered with floral berries and raffia to pull color throughout the tree:

Michaels has so many cute enamels signs this year…I hung this large “Merry Christmas” sign underneath the countertop bar: 

A few other decorations: simple red balls and stars made from clothespins:

The presents were wrapped in brown paper and topped with various ribbon from the tree and ornaments for tags:

A used a few of my past ornaments for tags too:

The oversized galvanized signs are sold in bulk packs at Michaels for party decor and create interest points all over the tree. What would you write on yours?
