It’s been ages since I did anything crafty for Christmas. My sister-in-law usually gives out ornaments made with clear pinwheel beads. When I was in high school, one year I made small Christmas stockings out of mini crocheted granny squares.

There are SO many cheap things you can for Cmas. First, visit a Dollar Store–some stuff is nice, and you can always find ribbon there. Once you have ribbon you can make ornaments out of pinecones, walnuts, candy–whatever you like the best! Spray the pincones with fake snow, glue on the ribbon and hang them:)

Buy thicker, stiff edged ribbon and put bows on all your picture frames for a cool look too.

Merry Christmas

I am not really crafty at all, but over the years. I do think that scrap books are fun and I love to hang up the Christmas cards that I receive. One thing that we have done over the years is to make gingerbread houses. Once finished they are very festive and it is fun to spend time with family while making them.

Moira~your books sound great and I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I’m using foam craft kits that I picked up from ACMoore and Michael’s. You can make your own ornaments or even Santa’s village.

One year we did Origami figures, then we suspended them by a thin string looped through a small hole and then onto the tree branches.

Make felt reindeer to hold candy canes to go on the tree. They are very cute and cheap to make. If you scrapbook and have punches or diecuts use chipboard and have the kiddos paint and decorate them. Love Moiras books. i’ve read crux and was lucky enough to get an arc in this series. which I hope to get to this weekend. The red rock series is on my wish list for xmas.

A cute ornament is a twist of pipe cleaners to make candycanes.

I got the recipe, it’s just apple sauce and enough dry cinnamon to roll the mixture out, punch out holes for ribbon to hang them with using a drinking straw so that after drying they can still be strung up easily. The shapes are not baked.
