Five Holiday Decorating Crafts
With mounting excitement as the kids start their winter holidays, now is the perfect time to get crafty for the holiday season! Here are five easy craft ideas to help you Deck the Halls or trim the tree!
 |
1. Pine cone Christmas ornament – pretend your pinecone is a mini tree: paint it green and add ribbons, pompoms, and sequins to trim it. Mount it on a piece of cardboard as a table decoration. OR – skip the paint and decorate your pinecone with sparkles and ribbons, looping a ribbon through the top to hang it on your tree |
 |
2. Personalized doily angel craft – You’ll need one large and one small paper doily, a clothes pin, and a headshot of your child. Fold large doily in half, and then in half again. Affix to clothes pin, with point of folded doily at the top. Glue your child’s head to the top of the doily ‘dress’. Add angel wings by folding small doily in half and gluing to back of clothspin. Clip to your Christmas tree |
 |
3.Toilet paper roll Christmas Crackers – fill several toilet paper rolls with fun surprises such as candies, sweet messages, or cute photos. Decorate a piece of paper with festive colours, or use old wrapping paper, and wrap toilet paper roll with paper, tying ribbons to close at either end. Place rolls on dinner plates for a family gathering, and open your Christmas crackers together! |
 |
4. Christmas tree mobile craft -make tree segments by cutting pairs of paper strips, tapering strips into a Christmas tree shape. Lay bottom pieces of tree on work surface and cover with glue. String a couple of wooden beads onto a thin ribbon or string, and lay on top of bottom segments, looping back to a top star shape. Cover with matching top segments. Decorate your tree with leftover paper pieces and other decorations |
 |
5. Finger-knit garland – all this requires is some yarn and a nimble set of fingers! Our six year old could do this independently once we got him started, but younger kids might need mom or dad to lend a helping hand with looping the yarn around. For instructions, watch our crafty girl explain it in this ‘how to’ video |
