28 Festive Christmas Craft Ideas For A Fun Holiday
1. Adorable Santa ornament
This adorable Santa ornament is made from wood slices.
You can always decide to paint other characters, but the Santa face with rosy cheeks is incredibly festive and jolly.
You should also add a sturdy twine loop to make it easy to hang this ornament on a tree or as part of a garland.
2. Sled with pinecones
This is another cute craft idea.
These red sleds make such a festive ornament.
To make the sled, popsicle sticks work great.
Then, for decorating the sled, pinecones and gold beads make this red sled pop.
I also think a final sprinkle of glitter does more good than you know.
3. Twine loop Christmas trees
These Christmas trees are so creative and really easy to DIY.
You can craft them by using popsicle sticks as the base, with loops of twine to form the shape of a tree.
To add a very lovely and festive touch, top each tree with a snowflake.
4. Rustic pinecones with bows
This Christmas craft works great in different spaces, but I think it definitely works well on the door.
To create, gather a cluster of frosted pinecones with a sprig of greenery peeking out of the pinecones.
Then connect it to a large burlap bow that ties everything together.
5. Santa Claus spoons
These Santa spoons are absolutely adorable and so easy to DIY.
Start by painting Santa’s face on the spoon and adding rosy cheeks.
Then, use white cotton balls and red pom-poms to create Santa’s hat.

6. Christmas tree tassels
If you like working with yarn, try creating these Christmas tassels.
You can make them with green yarn so they resemble trees really well.
Decorate the trees with white beads, a wooden star, and round beads.

Don’t forget to add a nose to complete this gnome.

Christmas cards are really the easiest craft out there, but that doesn’t make them any less special.

You don’t have to make the card perfect; you can decorate with feathers, footprints or whatever.
Just have fun with them!
