Grab the Old Bar Ornament Laser File:

This is a downloadable digital file, no physical product will be sent.

Laser Cutter:

Pull the SVG file into your laser-cutting software.

You can resize the file as needed, although the larger you make it, the larger the hole at the top to hang your ornament.

The ornament is sized at 3.19 inches x 3.4 inches.

My barn pieces were cut on my OmTech 50w using Lightburn software, and 3mm MDF.

Painting:

Once all of the pieces are cut, the next step is to paint.

I went with more traditional barn colors, but you can paint the pieces any colors that work for you.

Instead of a paintbrush, I painted with wet wipes. You can use any type of wet wipes from baby wipes, to bleach wipes.

I use wipes when I am not painting large areas and only painting a small project.

The outlines of the door and windows are scored into the back piece of the barn. No need to paint the entire base just where those outlines are. Also, paint the loop at the top of the barn.

Paint the windows and doors white as well.

Paint the barn, and the bow to the wreath, red.

Gluing:

Most of the pieces being glued are small. I found it easier to squeeze some glue out and then paint the glue onto the pieces with a small paintbrush.

Start by applying glue to the back of the red barn piece, and place it on top of the barn base piece, aligning the edges.

Adhere the roof, windows, and doors to the ornament.

Lastly, glue the wreath into place above the barn door.

Ornament Topper:

Cut a rectangle of matching pattern paper that measures 2.5x3 inches.

Accordion fold the paper rectangle. This doesn't have to be done perfectly but do try to have smaller folds.

Cut a length of ribbon about 10-12 inches long.

Place the accordion folded rectangle on top of the barn, string the ribbon through the hole, and tie a secure double knot over the top of the folded paper.

Carefully fan out the folded paper into a bow shape.

String the bead through both strands of the ribbon so it sits right on top of the folded paper.

Now the ornament is completely finished, and oh so cute!
