String Wrapped Ornaments
This homemade tree ornament can also be paired with a name tag to dress up wrapped gifts.
What supplies you’ll need:
Cardboard
Yarn or ribbon
Scissors
Hot glue gun
Step 1 – Using cardboard, cut out stars in a variety of sizes.
Step 2 – Secure the end of your yard on the back of the star using a hot glue gun.
Step 3 – Wrap the yarn or ribbon around your star in all directions until you’re happy with its look. Secure the end with hot glue.
Step 4 – Cut a 3-inch string of ribbon and loop it through a piece that is already around the star. Tie it at the top and hang from your Christmas tree.
Beaded Candy Canes
Possibly the easiest holiday DIY there is! If you’re feeling really creative, you can also shape your pipe cleaners into Christmas trees or stars and hang them as ornaments.
What supplies you’ll need:
Pipe cleaners
Beads
Step 1 – Bend the pipe cleaner to the shape of a candy cane, folding a small part at the end upward so beads don’t slide off.
Step 2 – Slide the beads on and fold up the other end to secure them in place.
Paper Chain Snowman
Remember making paper chains back in elementary school? Same classic craft with a fun update for Christmas decorations!
What supplies you’ll need:
White paper
Black and orange crayons
Tape
Step 1 – Cut strips of white printer paper at the same width.
Step 2 – Fold a strip of paper in a circle shape securing the back with tape. Loop another strip of paper through that, securing the back. Continue doing so until you’re happy with the length of your snowman chain.
Step 3 – Draw eyes, a mouth and a hat for your snowman. Use the orange marker to give him the traditional carrot nose.
Bonus: You can follow this same easy process to make other characters like reindeer or Santa!
