Where to Buy Wooden Christmas Tree Decorations

Decorating with wood in your home and on your tree for the Christmas holiday gives your home a sense of an old custom Christmas setting. Wood decorations have been used for many many years. Wood Christmas tree decorations were what most people had back when horses really pulled sleighs every day through the snow, and kids played outside making snow angels.

Wood was a very easy to find item, and making a decoration took very little skill. Christmas decorations were often unpainted, and if they were, they were painted with white wash that was used on the house or with red barn paint left over from painting a barn. So from the beginning, wooden Christmas tree ornaments were painted the traditional red and white that you can see pictured on old covers of the Saturday Evening Post. If you were lucky enough to have glass ornaments, you were considered rich.

Finding wooden Christmas tree ornaments is not easy. On line you can go to www.crafty-owl.com. They have a wide variety of wooden ornaments for your tree at reasonable prices. The one that caught my eye was one that I want to order for my daughter. The wooden Reindeer Whistle. This item is personalized with your child's name and year. This wooden whistle is not painted and is a great novelty for your tree. This whistle costs $12.95. For the year on the back there is an additional cost of $1. They currently can not guarantee that you will get your whistle by Christmas unless you use the next day shipping method. Express mail is an extra $35 over the normal shipping charge. But if you are wanting something that is not personalized, you can view many other ornaments that are available, such as the Christmas Key. This hand carved Santa has a a brass bell and a brass key, so that if you don't have a chimney, he can come through the door. This sells for $12.95. If you are wanting any other item from this person, you will be out of luck, as they are all sold out. Plan ahead next year if you want something hand made from this person.

This is heavy, weighing over 15 pounds. This wooden bead garland costs $80.99 and shipping is additional depending on the service you choose.

But as far as decorations go, you may want to go to a craft store or the section of your department store and pick up the small wooden figures and toys, paint them yourself. This is an inexpensive and fun way to decorate your tree. You can even buy your own wood beads and make your own wooden garland for much less than those at Amazon.com.
