Felt Stockings - Christmas Ornaments

We used some extra craft items that we had left over from last year.  To make these easy stockings we cut the shape of a sticking from felt, applied a layer of glue with glitter for the border, used glitter glue for the initial and let dry.  Once dried we added a ribbon to hang.  Easy and Fun to make with Kids.

Snowmen Door Ornaments

Easy Holiday Craft - Snowmen Door Ornament

Supplies:

White foam or snowmen foam forms (from your local craft store)

Glitter glue

Felt - any colors you choose

String to hang

Orange pipe cleaner

Googly eyes

To make these snowmen door ornaments, I purchased a kit of pre-made foam snowmens forms from a local craft store, they came in a package of 12 for $2.99.  I had scraps of felt so I used black for the hat and coal buttons, green for the scarf and holly pieces, red for the Holly berries (using a hole puncher) and a piece of gold string to hang.  I cut a small piece of an orange pipecleaner and bent it alittle bit for the nose and googly eyes.  Using a glue gun add your pieces, finish off with some glitter glue to make it sparkle. I added a little pink eye shadow for the cheeks.

Fun and Easy!

Holiday Cards - Great for Kids!

Looking for an easy craft to do for the Holiday season with your kids.  Make your own Christmas cards!

I purchased some sticker foam kits from our local crafts store: Reindeer, Angel, Santa, and Christmas trees.  Each kits makes "6".  I also purchased Card stock (multi-color) from my local office supply store.

I printed "Merry Christmas" on each card stock using Microsoft Word so the output was at the bottom of the page.  I trimmed each card stock to fit a card envelope. Once I trimmed, I folding the card in half and trimmed an inch or so off of the top layer of the card with deco scissors to make a scalloped edge. (I used kids scissors that you can get anywhere that have shapes on them when you cut).   Then finished by sticking on a foam kit.

Nice way to personalize your own card and a great and easy craft to do with your kids (mess free).
