Make DIY Christmas Ornaments

If you’re looking for a festive craft that kids of all ages can do, will bring holiday cheer to your house, and is great fun, this is it! Winter break is the perfect time to make good use of all those old supplies and scraps you have hanging around. Who knew it’d be so easy to get into the holiday spirit?!

These are one of our favorite holiday craft ideas because it’s a great way for younger kids to work on their fine motor skills while older kids use their creativity to make a seasonal craft with their little hands. And it’s the perfect excuse for adults to make their own festive decorations before the big day.

Let’s make some easy Christmas crafts!

How to Make the Best Christmas Crafts

  • If you don’t have wrapping paper, you can use construction paper; just make sure you use a bright color.
  • You can replace the ribbon with embroidery thread or a piece of string.
  • For a finishing touch, you can glam it up by using some glue and glitter!
