So easy and a great way for your little artist to admire her craftiness each day.
Get your kids involved in decorating this year. Mine love to. I actually have to reel them in or out Christmas tree would topple from the weight of all their handmade decorations.
It’s easy to find craft supplies around the house - old magazines, yarn, foil, cotton balls, old office supplies - let your imagination and the kids go wild.
Love the yarn snowflakes (below). Draw a shape. Tape waxed paper over design. Dip yarn in white glue; wipe off excess with fingertips. Lay yarn on waxed paper, following design underneath. Let dry several hours until stiff, then remove. Tie on a thread loop for hanging.
For tree, cut a half shape along crease of a file folder; unfold; punch a hole for a string. To create a star topper, cut a slit in each of two retail-sign sunbursts; interlock and secure with foil medallion stickers. Make a garland by linking paper clips. For pinecones, fold red sales tags in half; trim sides with scalloping scissors. Craft a bell out of tags by cutting into shape; add round stickers for the clapper (place two back to back). Use highlighters and stickers to decorate dangling key tags (punch an extra hole and link them). Join two tags with rectangular stickers to make an ornament resembling wrapped candy.
Isn’t the foil mouse below adorable! It’s amazing what you can make with the odds and ends around the house.
