Vintage Mid-Century Wooden Ornaments


My dad passed down a few mid-century wooden ornaments. He made them in college. They were little wood sets that you glued together and painted yourself. I've got to say, my dad did a pretty outstanding job of painting them.

There is a: Dove

Lamb

Snowflake

Star

British soldier

Camel

Church

Train

and wise man.

He also passed on this cloth owl, which is a bit crazy, but I still love it.

These are all hanging on the mini-tree in the kid's bedroom and, collectively, it's a great look.

    Not mid century. Those ornaments me out as a paint it yourself kit around the end of the 70s. ;)

    1. Yeah, the early 1970s would be when my dad was in college, so they're solidly '70s. Maybe more retro than true mid-century, but they still look great on a mid-century christmas tree.

  2. I have these exact same ornaments! My brother and I painted them in the early 70s when we were kids and I put them on my tree every year.
