Bring the joy of the season directly into your house with homemade holiday decorations. The fun of development these gorgeous holiday crafts is surpassed only by the enjoyment you will get from them throughout the holiday season. These holiday decorating projects can be made honestly at home with your children.
Tableware
Snowflake Ornament
Dress up your table for the holidays with this lovely craft. Using velour, embossed metallic or holographic paper for this scheme will yield stunning results. Trace a unique pattern onto your chosen material. This can be a geometric design, floral pattern or seasons' greetings. Cut out the pattern from your paper and use as table runners and place mats to dress up meals while the holiday seasons or at a holiday party.
Falling Stars
Use metallic paper or mirror board for this lovely ceiling craft. Trace or generate your own star pattern. (Note: this can also be done with a snowflake shape as well.) Using your pattern, cut out three stars from your chosen paper. Lay all three stars on top of one another, and poke small holes down the center using a needle. Beginning from the bottom, sew a thread through the pre-punched holes until you've reached the top of the star. Leave some extra thread for hanging your completed project. Finally, moderately pull apart each of the six halves of your star to form a three-dimensional star ceiling decoration.
Styrofoam Snowman
Kids love construction snowmen, and here is one that you can make all year round, regardless of the weather outside. Using three different-sized Styrofoam balls, hot glue one on top of the other in ascending order (largest one on bottom). Alternatively, you can use toothpicks to keep Styrofoam balls together. Use felt or velour paper to make a top hat, scarf and buttons for your snowman. Don't forget the carrot nose, eyes and arms. Using bendable wire or lacing, you can make your snowman hold a name tag, greeting, or sign.
Custom Gift Wrap
Any gift item will be graciously received when wrapped in your own custom-made gift-wrap. Use holiday-related stencils to trace images onto lowly paper, and a ribbon to dress up a plain package. Draw, trace and cut out fitting shapes and words directly on the wrapping paper or on detach specialty paper and glue on to decorate the whole outside of your gifts.
Personalize each gift-wrap to fit the man or gift inside. And don't forget the bows! In conjunction with this theme, you can also use your convention gift-wrap to make personalized gift boxes. Recycle old packaging and boxes, converting them into stunning gift boxes with the above technique.
Snow Globes
Create your own puny winter wonderland with this simple craft. You'll need a plastic bubble package (like the ones found in toy vending machines) or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, glitter, hot glue gun and a holiday proper character. Hot glue the holiday emblem to the top of the package cover. Sprinkle colorful glitter into the clear lowest part of the bubble package or jar. Fill the package or jar 3/4 full with water or baby oil. Hot glue the cover, inverted, into the clear part of the container. Shake and enjoy watching the magic.
Optional: Spray small estimate of spray adhesive into a cup and apply using a toothpick or brush onto the clear part of the container. Stick a small estimate of the glitter to the interior walls before adding all the glitter and sealing. This will leave your snow globe sparkling even when it hasn't been shaken up.
Bead Napkin Rings
Dress up any dinner or party table with these colorful and simple napkin rings. String brightly plastic beads (around 10-12) onto the center of a pipe cleaner. Now make a twist in the pipe cleaner to procure the beads in place, and, at the same time, creating the circle of the napkin ring. You can repeat this step for a double loop or skip to the next one. Curl the ends of the pipe cleaner around a pencil for decoration, and your festive napkin rings are done.
Not only will your children enjoy development these lovely decorations, you'll save money using arts and crafts supplies, and you'll be creating golden memories of potential time with your family.
Happy Holidays!
