13 Best Christmas Woodburning Patterns For Your Holiday Décor

One of the most unique ways to decorate for Christmas is to feature not only handmade decorations but handmade wood burned decorations. Harken back to the days of generations gone by when the only way to decorate for the holidays was to create your own decorations from materials found around the home. People could not run out to the stores and shop for their Christmas decorations but instead experimented with various art forms to create a Christmas wonderland inside and outside their home.

That is when woodburning truly became a method for creating holiday décor and the images, complete with fine detail, offered visitors and friends alike a new way to view the holidays.
