The build up to Christmas is such an exciting time. I like to build this further with Seasonal Crafts.<\/p>\n

Here are some simple ideas.<\/p>\n

Snowmen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simply get some cotton wool, coloured paper for hats and scarves, find a free-printable snowman face and then just glue them on to an old toilet roll holder.<\/p>\n

\"trh_snowmen\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are really creative you could even make nativity snowmen – making a Mary, Joseph and cut a roll in half for baby Jesus.<\/p>\n

\"nativity_trh\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This idea can be adapted to make any kind of Christmas decoration stand up – Christmas Trees, Stockings, etc.<\/p>\n

Sparkly Stars<\/strong><\/p>\n

Download a free star template<\/p>\n

\"glitter_pen_stars\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Coat with glue &\u00a0Add glitter (or use glitter glue pens)<\/p>\n

\"red_glitter_star\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Laminate (or the glitter falls off)<\/p>\n

\"glitter_stars\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hole punch and thread some string.<\/p>\n

Hang on the tree or make bunting with it.<\/p>\n

\"home_made_bauble_dec\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can then of course do this with any shape and other materials<\/p>\n

We used Baubles, Christmas trees, Christmas Stockings and decorated them with paper, pasta, foil, glue shapes – anything we could find.<\/p>\n

We also used the back of ice-cream boxes instead of paper – making them a bit firmer and also recycling.<\/p>\n
