The largest ornament is 5-1/2″ high. The miniature “Playtime” set has the Little Drummer Boy, Jack-in-the-box and 22 more, 1-1/2 to 3-1/4″ high.
Both kits die-cut from imported Philippine mahogany with numbered guidelines on front and back, with non-toxic, fast drying acrylic paints, brush, sandpaper, cord hangers and instructions. A joyful pre-holiday family project.

I Want to order your vintage to paint ornaments but can’t get to the shoppi g cart. My email had changed and I don ‘t know my password. Is there a phone number I can call to order them. I also can not get back to the email site.
I’m so sorry for the confusion! We are a vintage site, and present a lot of ads from the past — like this one from 1974. It’s not a current offer or anything we have available, unfortunately, but is here for its nostalgia value (and in case anyone wants to try to use the old-fashioned ornament photos to create some of their own). Thank you so much for visiting, and I hope you can find what you’re looking for!
Were you able to find the site or a way to order the vintage wooden Christmas ornaments? We have them from when I was little but would love to do them with my kids and my mom!
How do I order the 1960’s – 1970’s wooden ornament kit?
My mom painted these ornaments for everyone on both sides of her family, every Christmas for around ten years. Hundreds of them. Oddly I can only find two of mine and would love to carry on the tradition with mine. Can’t find them anywhere. Mom ordered them from JC Penneys or sears
I would like to purchase both sets. I made these in the 70s & I LOVE THEM! I woul love to have more yo give to my kids. Please get back yo me! Thank you!
Unfortunately, these aren’t for sale – it’s just an old ad. :-(
