Christmas holidays are approaching and you will have more time to share with the children at home. So you can spend some fun time making crafts, we propose some beautiful Christmas ornaments to make with the kids.
They are made with materials that we usually have at home or that are easily obtained. The ornaments are also all very simple. I hope that both children and you enjoy making them and decorating the beautiful house for Christmas.
A door ornament with Christmas candy
This will be a success. They will love to do it and above all, eat it! What I do not assure you is that I arrive at Christmas dinner.
If you look it is very easy to do. You need a few candies that you will stick with zeal forming a crown of hearts. In the center you place a message and add a thread to hang it on the front door. The guests will be surprised.
A felt Christmas tree to decorate the wall
The tree doesn't have to be in the middle of the room, you can also put it on a wall. You can make it felt and stick it on the wall with special zeal to avoid damaging it. The ornaments are also placed there, children will find it easier to decorate than the traditional tree.
In Upcycleyourlife they explain the step by step for both the tree and the ornaments, which can also be made of felt in the form of balls, stars, candles, or stickers or drawings made by children. Imagination has no limits!
Rudolph reindeer with a cardboard roll
One of my favorites is undoubtedly this Rudolph reindeer Christmas ornament. It never occurred to me that a roll of toilet paper could become a reindeer. To you?
Although the Krokotak site where I have seen it is in Russian, in the images you can see perfectly how you have to trim it so that it looks like a reindeer with its legs and its antlers.
It only remains to paint it and place a red pompom for the nose. A great idea is to gather some rolls and make the eight Christmas reindeer of Santa's sleigh together by a thread. If you dare, you can even do the sled and a gift.
Giant snowflakes with paper
One of the favorite entertainments we have at home at Christmas is to cut snowflakes. We look for patterns of all kinds to make them of different shapes and sizes, and one of the easiest to make while colorful are these giant snowflakes.
How are they made? As simple as you see in the image above. The key is that the paper is square and keep in mind that each paper is one of the six parts of the snowflake, so they must all be the same size. To assemble it, you have to join them in the center.
The size of the ornament will depend on the size of the paper you choose to do it. The funniest thing is to make flakes of different sizes and colors. You can hang them on the tree, from the ceiling, from the doors, from the walls ...
Christmas trees with wool and buttons
With materials that we don't usually associate with Christmas you can make a most original tree like the one I've seen on Hgtv.com. You need some cones made of poliexpan or those used to make floral ornaments, wool, buttons, glue and pompoms for the tip, which you can also do.
It only remains to surround the cones with colored wool and add buttons to decorate. As a shot, the pompom on the tip. Easy and precious!
