Adorable Little Wooden Gingerbread Cutting Board Ornaments!

 


You can find my YouTube tutorial on how to put these adorable little ornaments together here:    https://youtu.be/x2MAPlk0rqM


I purchased the 3-inch-long wooden cutting boards from HoosierBlanks on Etsy. Please keep in mind that during the Christmas season, they are extremely busy, as this is a family-run business and they cut all their Birch wood pieces themselves. All the pieces I've purchased from them have been flawless.
