Crafts & Christmas - Christmas Decorations You Can Make With Your Kids

Crafts & Christmas can make a wonderful combination. The Christmas holidays are a wonderful time of the year, especially since the kids are home from school.Make the most of this time by making memories that will last. Creating Christmas decorations with your kids is a fun time for all.

Here are a few ideas to get you started with your crafts & Christmas fun.

1.Tree Skirt:

Find some felt material and design a tree skirt. Add beads, bows, sparkles and any kind of trim available to make this a one-of-a-kind skirt. Perhaps the kids would like to add pictures of Santa along the rim of the skirt. Another tree skirt idea would be to make a quilted pattern, using different plaids and solid colors. Decorate it with a fancy trim.It could not only be used for the tree, but as the base centerpiece for a vase of poinsettias.

2. Centerpiece:

Another idea is to have your children gather together Christmas balls in various sizes and colors. Find a large clear vase or bowl and arrange them inside. You may want to add some holly as well. This colorful display would make a lovely centerpiece for your table.

3. Christmas Card Holder:

Here is a creative idea for storing your Holiday cards.Start with an empty Kleenex (or tissue) box, and cut out the top rectangular part of it.Wrap it in Christmas paper, and use it as a Christmas card holder.Decorate it with holly and ivy.Then, attach a ribbon to both ends and you have a beautiful homemade Christmas card basket.

4. Paper Chain:

An old standby is to take several different colors of construction paper and cut them in strips.Then attach two ends of the strips together (with a stapler, glue or tape) to form a circle. Continue by looping another cut strip inside that one. When it’s long enough, wrap the chain around your Christmas tree.

5. Candy Chain:

While stringing popcorn or beads around a tree is a tried and true tradition, how about using Lifesavers candy?Your kids can choose the color order or even try to make patterns. Use different color twine or ribbons to give it a Candyland touch.Add candy canes as well.Since both candies come in their own wrapping, just use a needle through the Lifesavers wrapping. After the tree is taken down, they can be fun snacks to eat.

Christmas decorations are a great way of expressing the holiday spirit in your home.

The kids will love creating them, and be proud to have their art displayed. And, instead of looking like a department store, your home will become a reflection of the family that lives in it. This year, let Crafts & Christmas come together for a magical Christmas for the kids.

I have come across an amazing e-book to make things very easy for you during these holidays. The name of the package is Kids Christmas Activities. Do go and have a look at it, you will love it!

Christmas Décor Ideas for Kids to Make

Before we move on to the décor ideas, we have added a free e-book to our All Our Recipes & More site about how to make a gingerbread house. Do visit the site and download the free e-book!

Kids love making their own Christmas decorations for their home and displaying them proudly.

Use ribbons and bows to decorate lamps, curtains and drapes.Choose different color ribbons and bows according to the colors in your home.For example, if you have white curtains, add red and green bows you can stick onto any surface, and arrange the bows on the white curtains any way you wish.

Kids may want to decorate the drapes using different sized white doilies, and fill the drapes with snowflakes. Attach green or red garland to the bottom of the drapes, and hang small light colored ornaments on the garland.

Kids can also decorate the entertainment center with candles of all colors, little glass bowls of Christmas balls, and Christmas figurines.Whether the entertainment center is wood, white or black, this is a sure way to make the entertainment center a Christmas display.

Have a coffee table?If the coffee table is glass, the kids can decorate the edge of the coffee table with garland and ornaments. Remember to choose a garland that compliments the colors in the room. Tape the garland around the table. Start with taping the garland at one corner of the table and let the garland hang a few inches. Repeat the process: tape and hang, until you have hung the garland completely around the coffee table.Then add favorite ornaments and hang them on the garland. This is a wonderful visual effect that also works on your mantel or a banister or railing, too.

Your children can create Christmas artwork with markers, paints or crayons. If you display it in a nice frame, it will complement your home décor and look like you paid money for it.

And, of course, a favorite Christmas decoration is a gingerbread house. Create a gingerbread house with your children. The gingerbread house will be a perfect display for a countertop or in the middle of your coffee table.

Choosing Christmas décor ideas for kids to make is easy; arranging them to compliment the décor of your home is the challenge.Choose the decorations, and have the kids use their imagination to turn your home into wonderland of color.
