Wouldn’t they be nice as a little gift too? They are so pretty and easy to make. Tresa created the design for these herself and shares them with us on her blog Reese Dixon. Oh again, these are the sort of “traditional” Christmas ornaments that I think of during the festive season. They are simple, traditional, pretty an effective! Lovely. And when I think of “Christmas Get Crafty” these are the sort of ornaments I think of. I simply LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas ornaments. These snowflakes are simplicity in themselves beautiful! What I love about these snowflakes, is that they steer away from all the normal “glitz and Santa Clause” (not that I don’t love them!!!), but sometimes it is nice to have some natural calm and decor. I know Red Ted would LOVE the gluing bit! So whatever level of craftiness, you should be able to have a go. Not only are they cute, but what is really great, is that you can either sew these or glue these. Look at these cute little Reindeer Decorations that Aly at Life’s Laundry made. I adore traditions like this! They are a bit fiddly at first, but once you get the hang of them, they are easy and really worth the rewards!
However, in Sweden, these are made at Christmas and filled with sweets, then hung on the tree. I love them any time of year, which is why we did the post at Easter. Check out how they made these trees and paper plate snowmen here, as well as their Egg Carton and Jam Jar gift bonanza here!! I think I may do something like this with Red Ted for the grandparents and the elderly lady across the road! Get Crafty for Children (or older children)Įarlier in the year, I brought you Swedish Christmas Hearts. You think that this is “just” another Christmas tree? Think again, turn it round and you will find a decorated paper roll filled with sweets! I love how Allyson not only Gets Crafty with her children at Christmas, but encourages them to give. Cass at Frugal Family shows us how! Why not also hop over to check out their Saltdough Christmas Tree decor? All with the help from the children! Fabulous, just what Christmas crafting is all about! And handprint craft is such a nice way to get little ones involved. And I am amazed time and time again at what people come up with using paper plates! xĪhhh, is this lovely – a handprint Christmas tree?! I love how it looks like a lush bushy fir tree. You can’t have Christmas crafts without angels! Cathy at Nurture Store made these lovely little paper plate angels with her girls. Print out the “parts” for these Christmas trees and make them with your kids! Here she has some Santa Clause tags and here some Reindeer Tags. Meni at Dalle un Colinho has some lovely print outs for us, to make life easier in the crafting world. Use sparingly with paint or an ink pad and hey presto, you have wrapping paper, greeting cards or artwork! Soak them in a little water and you have nature’s snowflake stamp.
If you are quick, you will still find some Poppy Flower Husks, there are plenty around in autumn. Aren’t they simply something? Kids love glue. When Jude at Artful Adventures sent me the link to these, I was in awe of the simplicity and yet effectiveness of these “ Glitter Pine Cones“. Don’t forgot that you can also link up WEEKLY for KIDS GET CRAFTY every Wednesday. I would love to see your pine cone creations, sticks, conkers and leaves. I know that September should really have been Autumn, but we are catching up with it now.
There just wasn’t space for everything!įor a full Get Crafty Schedule click here. Christmas is such a special time of the year, that craftiness makes it all the more fun! I have also added a stocking filler section and if you read the individual features carefully, there are many more crafts linked for you to go and explore. I am posting this in October, to hopefully inspire you and give you LOTS of time to Get Crafty this Christmas season. Hello! And Welcome to Christmas Get Crafty.
