3 Christmas craft ideas

Are you in the mood for crafting? Here are a few ideas to help you decorate your home for Christmas.

1. STRING TREE

Cut a triangle out of cardboard and wrap a string around it until it’s completely covered. Make sure to glue the string at the beginning and end to keep it from unrolling. Decorate your tree with pom- poms, sequins or tiny multicolored beads to give it a festive look.

2. PAPER SANTA

Paint almost half the surface of a white paper plate red. Draw the red paint down one side of the plate, creating a rounded, tapered edge to form Santa’s hat. Color everything else beige. Then, draw Santa’s eyes and nose. For the finishing touch, glue cotton balls all over the bottom of Santa’s face and around the edge of the hat to make it look like his beard and hair.

3. WINTER LANDSCAPE

Glue a large black circle in the middle of a colored piece of cardboard. Glue a white half-moon on top to hide the bottom of the circle. This will create the snowy ground and night sky. Glue two bottle caps on top of each other in the middle of the landscape to form a snowman. Draw a face on the bottom of the top cap and buttons on the lower one. Then, make Christmas trees out of green and brown card- board and glue them to each side of your snowman. Finally, if you want it to look like it’s snowing, sprin- kle white confetti in the sky.

Now, all you have to do is display your work!
