There’s something magical about hanging an ornament that carries a story, especially one carved from olive wood that has been growing for generations. EarthWood has partnered for years with the Giacaman family of Bethlehem, a three-generation team known for crafting some of the highest-quality wood ornaments in the world. They never cut down the ancient trees; instead, they gently gather fallen or trimmed branches and dry them for over a year before carving. 

Each piece is shaped by hand into meaningful scenes like the nativity or detailed wildlife Christmas ornaments that feel right at home here in Montana. These wooden Christmas ornaments add a richness and warmth that fits seamlessly into any rustic home decor, making your tree feel both grounded and beautifully nostalgic! 

Art Studio Company Ornaments 

If your idea of the perfect rustic decor includes textures, handiwork, and a whole lot of heart, Art Studio Company ornaments are the moment. While based in the United States, they partner with artisans in small villages around the world who handcraft everything from hand-painted glass to fabric treasures. Their commitment to eco-friendly materials makes each piece feel that much more meaningful. 

For a woodland Christmas theme, we especially adore their felt ornaments, handcrafted from 100% recycled wool. These little woolen creatures and wildlife Christmas tree ornaments feel like they’ve wandered straight out of a snow-dusted forest. They bring that cozy, handmade charm that makes a tree feel warm, loved, and wonderfully rustic, like decorating inside a tiny cabin tucked beneath pine branches! 

Kurt S. Adler Ornaments 

Collectors know the name: Kurt S. Adler has been spreading Christmas cheer for decades, sourcing unique and whimsical pieces from around the world. What began after WWII as an importing adventure turned into a beloved holiday tradition, and today their ornaments are found on trees everywhere. 

We are especially loving their wildlife-inspired pieces this season, from elk to adorable bears, each crafted in different materials and finishes that pair beautifully with vintage Christmas decorations or a naturally rustic theme. These wildlife Christmas tree decorations bring that perfect mix of charm and nostalgia, making your holiday décor feel both playful and timeless. 

Wood You Tell Me Ornaments 

There’s just something special about wood on a Christmas tree. It feels warm, comforting, and deeply connected to the outdoors, like nature’s own version of decorating. Wood You Tell Me has been handcrafting ornaments since 1995 as a family-owned business, and their Montana-themed pieces are perfect for anyone who loves that earthy, cabin-in-the-woods feel. 

Their laser-cut wood ornaments feature all kinds of wildlife motifs, each one crisp, detailed, and full of outdoorsy charm. And for something extra fun, their black bear ornament brings a bit of Montana adventure straight to your tree’s branches. Whether you’re decorating a tree, a garland, or even mantels and wreaths, these wood ornaments fit effortlessly into a rustic Christmas theme and look gorgeous displayed year-round in any cozy home or cabin! 

And of course, we had to finish with something made right here in Montana. Noteworthy Paper & Press in Missoula is one of those places that just feels magical the moment you step inside, with beautiful, stocked shelves and that quiet sense of joy that comes from discovering something handmade and heartfelt! 

Their ornaments are no exception. Thoughtfully designed and full of charm, their engraved laser-cut wood ornaments turn simple branches into meaningful memories. We’re featuring their Yellowstone-inspired design, but they offer everything from wildlife to campers, perfect for any outdoorsy person. These wooden Christmas ornaments are the perfect blend of rustic charm and local talent, and each purchase supports Montana makers who pour their hearts into every piece!
