Crafting into the Christmas Season

Miah Clark and Faith Danaher

Do you love crafts? Do you love the holidays? Even if you don’t, you are certain to enjoy these festive, fun, and simple holiday crafts.

 

To make this first craft, snowmen ornaments, you will need clear plastic ball ornaments, white puff balls, an orange and black glass marker, and red, green and white pipe cleaners. First, fill the clear ornaments one-third of the way full with the white puff balls. Next, twirl a pipe cleaner around the top of the ornament, for a hat. To complete the ornament, draw on eyes and a nose using the glass markers.

 

This next craft, a homemade snow globe, is just as fun and easy. You will need a mason jar, a miniature tree, glitter, fake snow, super glue and white paint. The first step is to paint the lid white, and to dab white paint around the edges of the trees to make it look like they have snow on them. After they dry, glue the tree to the inside of the lid. At this time fill your mason jar with water, then add the fake snow and glitter. Screw the lid on very tight, flip it over, and viola! A snow globe!
Whether you are broke, on a time crunch, or just wanting to make fun homemade gifts for your friends and family this holiday season, we hope our crafts were able to help you.
