About this Product
How absolutely adorable! Made from a real piece of maple wood, these ornaments are lovely for a First Christmas (or second, or third...or any!) Hand made to treasure forever.
The wood slices shown are approximately 2.5 inches in diameter, but are also available in larger sizes.
Your design is hand drawn, hand burned and hand painted on to the wood slice.
You can choose one of the designs shown, or pop me a message if you have something different you'd like.
Along with a name burned onto the front, you can also have custom wording burned on to the back for no additional cost.
If you have any questions or special requests, please don't hesitate to get in touch - I'm always happy to help in any way I can.
BellesHearts
Meet the Maker
Hi, I'm Maxine from BellesHearts, thank you so much for visiting, I hope you find something you love!
Before I began with BellesHearts, I lived in England with my 3 older children, my dogs, cats, goats and chickens. I worked at a local high school as an English Language and Literature teacher - my specialism was working with students with special educational needs and/or social and emotional barriers to learning. These were some of the most amazing and wonderful people I have ever had the privilege of meeting, yet an intense and challenging time. To make a difference, passion, patience, acceptance, tolerance, creative teaching and learning, from both my students and I were paramount.
Then everything changed. I met my husband who lived in PA, we got married and I moved over to the US to live. We have a spirited little boy with whom I spend my days, along with our Goldendoodle, Gracie and our Chiweenie, Floki.
I decided to trade in my creativity in teaching, for creating with my hands. I have always enjoyed working with wood and with fabrics. Inspired and taught by my father - an amazing carpenter, engineer and artist; my mother with her strength and determination and by my maternal grandparents, with their unquestioning belief in me always.
BellesHearts was born and there is nothing I love more, nothing so rewarding as being able to create 'Handmade Memories'; truly unique and special pieces for others to treasure.
How it’s Made
The wood used for these ornaments is real maple wood (I also have silver birch or aspen - just ask if you'd like one of those)
The wood is sanded until silky smooth.
I hand draw your design on the front, then hand burn and hand paint it for you.
You can have a name on the front and I can also burn a little something on the back for you too.
Each is finished with a ribbon in your choice of colour and comes in it's own little gift bag and box.
