Christmas Craft Ideas for Kids
1. Paper Christmas Wreath
Christmas wreaths are very popular during the Christmas season because it looks so lively and festive. They can be made of anything these days now that people are exploring their creative sides. Kids too can make their own wreath and in just a matter of minutes, too. All they need is a pair of scissors, some colored paper and glue.
To make the paper wreaths, the middle part of the green colored paper is sliced evenly in horizontal straight lines about half an inch apart from each other. Then, the two ends where the slices meet are glued together; then the two ends of the cylinder shaped paper are glued again. And the Christmas paper wreath is done. For embellishment, ribbons and Christmas ball cut-outs could be glued to the paper wreath.

2. Simple DIY Christmas Tree Ornaments
Christmas trees alone liven up our homes during Christmas. Adding tree ornaments make it even more so. To make our trees more meaningful and personal, making our own tree ornaments is one wonderful idea. We can even encourage our kids to do so as well.
Equipped with some colored cardboard paper, scissors and strings, our kids can make Christmas tree ornament cut-outs. Popular shapes could be Christmas balls, snowflakes and candy cones. To give the ornaments a 3-dimensional feel, fold two similar cut-outs of the same size as the center. Then, glue the center of the cut-outs together. As simple as that, you can already have your Christmas tree ornaments.
3. Colored Christmas Decorations
We always find our kid’s drawings so adorable. So why not let them making colored drawings of popular icons like Santa Claus, Rudolf and Frosty during Christmas? We can cut out the drawings and use them as Christmas decorations all around the house.

4. Recycled Bottle Caps Décor
Recycling bottle caps as decorations not only teach kids the value of recycling, it also livens up our house as well. And it is fairly easy to do. Kids merely need to cut even circles that would fit inside the bottle cap and glue them in. Of course, they need to find the most creative papers to make the bottle caps more interesting. They can even draw or paint their own designs into the paper cut-outs.

Christmas Craft Ideas for Adults
1. Christmas Candle Holder
Every house would need its Christmas candle. So why not make a personalized candle holder using used wrappers, strings and other embellishments? All we need to do is glue them and tie them together and we can already have a very festive candle holder.
2. Snowman Goodies
We all make treats during Christmas. So why not be creative about it? We can place all the yummy treats in small jars and arrange them on top of each other to create one of our favorite icons during Christmas – Frosty. Topping it off with a hat and a scarf as well as painting on buttons and a face will make the whole package too cute.
3. Christmas Mittens
We usually use Christmas socks to hang on our fireplace and wait for them to be filled by Santa. We can be a little non-traditional and use mittens which are equally cute. They are also pretty easy to make as well.
4. Snowman Socks Decoration
Once again, Frosty, our favorite snowman, could be made from stuffed old white socks which are embellished to make them look a little different from one another.

What is Christmas without all the cookies and milk? We usually have a lot of stash for cookies during Christmas so why not make creative containers from recycled materials like a used can of Pringles? All we need to do is wrap the Pringles container in some lively Christmas wrapping paper and we already have the perfect containers. We can even give away these repackaged cookies as gifts!

There are several Christmas tree ornaments that allow us to add a touch of ourselves into design. There are several empty glass tree ornaments that let us do the design by ourselves. We can paint them, add some personalized trinkets inside the glass ornament or whatever we may wish, we know just by looking at it that they are truly ours.

If we happen to love knitting, we can use several of our projects as Christmas ornaments. We can even use mittens that are in the Christmas colors (red, green, white, silver, gold).
