20 DIY Wood Block Crafts To Make For Christmas

November 8, 2022 by Shellie Wilson

Wood crafts are a popular DIY project during the holiday season, and this roundup features a collection of tutorials made using 4×4, 2×4 wood blocks, and scrap pieces of wood. Wood crafting is an economical way to get into DIY, as you can use scrap pieces of wood instead of purchasing new ones, saving you money. You can ask your local hardware store if they have any scraps that they can give away, or you can even try searching for scrap wood in skip bins.

Rustic farmhouse-style projects are especially popular, and using scrap pieces of wood is perfect for this style. This type of crafting allows you to be creative and use your imagination, while also using materials that might have otherwise gone to waste. If you’re looking to get started with wood crafting, this roundup is a great place to start. Each of the tutorials below provides step-by-step instructions on how to make the projects, and all of the materials required are affordable and easily obtainable.

One of the best things about wood crafting is that you can customize your pieces to suit your personal style. You can stain, paint or distress your pieces, giving them a unique touch. Additionally, you can add decorative elements like ribbons, beads, or twine to enhance the overall look of the project.

Whether you are a seasoned DIY-er or just starting out, these wood crafts are perfect for anyone who is looking to add a touch of rustic charm to their home decor. So go ahead, gather your materials and get ready to create some beautiful and unique holiday pieces. Not only will you have fun while crafting, but you’ll also have the satisfaction of knowing that you made something with your own hands.

When making rustic wood projects, I like to use a flat (non-glossy paint) for a more rustic finish. If I need to work quickly I use a Krylon chalky spray paint.

Wood crafts are great for making porch decorations as if you have a treated pine they will last longer outside as well as generally, wood crafts are heavy, which means they don’t blow around in the wind or blow over.

I just love working with wood at the moment, it really is a great simple medium, if it is old wood I feel like I am doing my bit for recycling too.

As a DIY enthusiast, I often receive inquiries from other woodworkers regarding the tools I use for my projects. I recognize the significance of having the proper tools to make the job more effortless, quicker, and enjoyable. That’s why I have updated my list of recommended tools specifically for woodworking projects.

One of the most frequently asked questions is about the sander I use. Currently, I am utilizing the Ryobi One Cordless Sander, which has turned out to be a great tool for me. Cordless tools have revolutionized my experience as they allow me to move around freely and work outside my workshop without being restricted to power sources. The Ryobi Cordless Sander is also incredibly practical, lightweight, simple to handle, and eliminates the hassle of cords getting in the way.

Another tool that has significantly impacted my work is the Ryobi Circular Cordless Saw. It’s an ideal tool for cutting straight lines, which is all I require for most of my projects. The saw is capable of handling a maximum thickness of 4×4 wood, which is more than enough for most of my projects. I primarily work with 2×4 wood lengths and the saw has performed exceptionally well for these cuts.
