This is a quick and easy gift that packs a big punch. This will light up anyone's Christmas and is a great gift because holiday decorations are always appreciated. Get the kids together and gather your own pinecones it will make for a great outing.
Here's a fun and easy craft to help with the holiday decorating!
Gather small twigs from your yard (leave in a natural state, ones with lichen are especially attractive). Arrange these in a 5 or 6 pointed star. Hot glue where twigs join and attach a twine or string loop as a holder.
You can make a Christmas decoration without spending a single cent. Using old Christmas balls, silk poinsettias, vases, and other ornaments you can make very unique Christmas decorations.
These are just some ideas for some natural homemade Christmas decorations.
Hot glue a small Christmas bear to the bottom of an old fashioned canning jar, add some greenery, include something like the snow shoes or you could add a mail box or a small wrapped gift, etc. add some fake snow and a pretty ribbon on the jar and you've got a very cute original Christmas decoration.
1 clean round gourd, glue, cotton balls or cotton fiber fill of any color, 1 large Christmas bell, acrylic paint, acrylic sealer, spray at least 2 times for good coverage.
We made these at a Christmas party last month and they went over so well. Any age child (or adult) can make these. You need a square of fabric 18 x 18 inches for each item. You need one roll of toilet paper per item. You need something for the top of each.
Place 1/2 of toothpick in each gumdrop; line the styrofoam cone with the gumdrops; place a large gumdrop on top...
My mother and I made our own holiday ornaments for the Christmas tree. We bought clear tree ornaments and different colors of craft paint. We put 1-3 colors in the bottom then twisted and twirled the bulbs so the paint covered the inside.
Spray paint the basket, let dry (you can use any color paint or any design, you could paint on snowmen and fill with snow related items and give as a gift) Paint on your design, let dry. Seal, let dry. Then you can add a ribbon if you like.
My version of snow since we don't get it where I live. He is made from scrap yarn, foam, hot glue, a Styro foam ball, wiggle eyes and some snowflake doiley things.
This is a lovely gem of a project that looks wonderful in a snowy window. Small birds, mushrooms, and other woodland creatures sit amongst dried moss on a small log to bring the forest into your home on a winter's eve! One of my favorites.

I am fixing my Christmas outdoor lighted reindeer. I have painted the metal frame, rewired all the lights and would like to put a fabric called tinsel (which is used on all types of Christmas outdoor yard decorations) on the the body of the reindeer, but I'm not able to find this fabric anywhere. It is a shimmery fabric used for outside yard decor. If you look up tinsel yard decorations you can see the different types of Christmas yard decorations. My question is where can I find this tinsel fabric? Can you tell me where to find it?
