Wooden Letter Ornaments — Cherry

Initial Christmas Ornaments Made in Our Baltimore Studio

For the family that hangs everyone's initial on the tree, the friend who wraps every gift like it's the only one, or the new parents getting ready for baby's first Christmas, these wooden letter ornaments are small gifts that carry a lot of meaning. Each one is laser cut from American cherry in our Baltimore studio and hung on a soft felt ribbon. Give one initial, or line up a few to spell a name, and it becomes the ornament they reach for first every December.

Why This Wooden Letter Ornament Is So Lovable

• Each ornament is a single letter, A to Z, so you can give one initial or put several together to spell a name, a word, or the whole family.
• It works as a gift tag, too. Tuck one under the bow on a wrapped present or hang it from a stocking, and the tag becomes part of the gift.
• Cherry has a naturally warm, reddish tone that looks right at home among the reds and greens of the season, and it deepens beautifully over time.
• Each one arrives in a drawstring cotton bag with the felt ribbon already attached, so it's ready to hang the moment it's out of the bag.

Customers find all kinds of ways to use these. They hang them on stockings so everyone knows whose is whose, put one initial for each person in the family on the tree, and use them as name tags on presents that get kept long after the wrapping paper is gone. They also make easy teacher gifts and party favors, and a sweet little extra to tuck into a bigger order.

Every ornament is laser cut in our Hampden studio in Baltimore from sustainably forested American cherry. Because each letter keeps its natural shape, the letters aren't all the same size: a slim I is smaller than a wide M or W, so they look the way letters should when you hang them side by side.

They're a lovely way to welcome a new baby, mark a couple's first Christmas in their own home, or finish off a gift: tuck one under the bow on a personalized cutting board as its gift tag. Years from now, when the boxes of decorations come down from the attic, that little cherry letter will still be the one everyone looks for.

Make It Yours

Pick any letter from A to Z. Each ornament is one letter, and the price depends on the letter, since some letters are larger than others. To spell a name or a word, add one ornament for each letter. Then make it a keepsake: with a felt-tip marker, write the year and your name, their name, or a short message on the back.
