With the holiday season just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about fun and festive crafts to make at home. Not only are these crafts a great way to get into the holiday spirit, but they also make for great decorations and gifts. Here are some Christmas craft ideas that are easy to make and perfect for the whole family.
Salt Dough Ornaments
Salt dough ornaments are a classic Christmas craft that are easy to make and fun for all ages. To make these ornaments, mix together 1 cup of salt, 2 cups of all-purpose flour, and 1 cup of warm water until a dough forms. Roll the dough out and use cookie cutters to create your desired shapes. Use a straw to create a hole for hanging and bake the ornaments at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 hours. Once cooled, decorate with paint or glitter and hang on your Christmas tree.
Pinecone Wreath
A pinecone wreath is a beautiful and rustic addition to any front door during the holiday season. To make this wreath, collect pinecones from your backyard or a local park. Use hot glue to attach the pinecones to a wreath form, making sure to cover the entire form. Once dried, add some holiday ribbon or ornaments to give your wreath some extra festive flair.
Felt Stockings
Felt stockings are a classic Christmas decoration that are easy to make at home. To make your own felt stockings, simply cut out two stocking shapes from felt fabric and glue them together. Decorate your stockings with sequins, beads, or any other festive embellishments of your choice. Hang your stockings by the fireplace for Santa to fill with goodies on Christmas Eve.
Handprint Reindeer
A handprint reindeer is a fun and easy craft for kids to make this Christmas season. To make this craft, have your child paint their hand brown and press it onto a piece of paper. Once dried, add googly eyes, a red pom-pom for the nose, and antlers made from brown pipe cleaners. This adorable craft makes for a great keepsake to hang on the fridge or give as a gift to family and friends.
Cinnamon Stick Candles
Cinnamon stick candles are a festive and fragrant addition to your holiday decor. To make these candles, simply wrap cinnamon sticks around a plain pillar candle and secure them with hot glue. Tie a festive ribbon around the candle for an extra touch of holiday cheer.
