If you would like to use circular wood slices to create a batch of hanging decorations, paint will be the main material necessary to complete the project. Visit a paint store to acquire materials and choose a layout method that will support your crafting idea.
Paint Products
Wood slices that are symmetrical in shape and thickness can be picked up at a shop that sells crafting supplies or lumber materials. Irregular slices can be cut directly from a log. Irregular pieces will not possess the shape of a perfect circle. Either type of wood product can be used to create hanging directions.
Browsing at a paint store will give you an idea of what types of finishes you can attain for each craft. Enamel, acrylic, latex, and watercolor paint products can be applied to wood. Because various paints possess unique characteristics, viewing how each paint type lays across a flat surface will be helpful.
Paint swatches that are printed on paper or card stock are typically given out for free. Some paint stores allow their customers to test products out while they are on the premises. Small bottles or cans of paint that are designated as sample materials can be brushed or sprayed across a scrap piece of paper that is furnished at the paint store.
For more prominent colors that will be covering wooden surfaces, choose dark enamel or acrylic paint. Either type of paint will add shine to a wooden surface. For a lighter hue, such as a pastel shade or a neutral tone, choose a latex or watercolor product. These two paint types may require one or more coats to cover wood.

The width of each paintbrush that you use and the material that the bristles are constructed of will have an impact on how paint lays across a wooden surface. Use a picture or stencils to guide you throughout the paint application process.
To attach wooden circles that are going to be part of the same display, use a drill to create holes through the edges of the circles that will be secured together. Purchase wire or twine and use either material to connect two or more circles together.
To accent the painted parts of each display, use LED lighting to cast bright light directly across the surface of each wooden circle. If you have chosen to use a loop-like feature to hang each display from a fixed surface, secure each loop around a doorknob or another part of your home's interior or exterior.
