Let us talk about a time of the year when everything is bright and beautiful. The houses are set up colourfully and the doors are adorned with winter greetings. Welcome cards are delivered and no matter how dull the weather may get, the morning snow always lights up our little world.
It is also time to clean up the backyard because Christmas parties are round the corner. Warm gatherings and friendly hangouts set the mood for the weekends. Christmas is one of the times of the year when we are delighted to spend time with our family members. And it is always nice to engage in activities which involve the whole family, especially the kids of the house. We have got you some mind-blowing Christmas art and craft ideas that you can try out this winter.
1. Miniature Christmas Trees for Kids.
This one's for you to practice with your younger sibling or children at home. Mini Christmas trees can be designed out of paper mache or straws. The advantage of making mini Christmas trees is that you can use any kind of paper like chart paper or handmade sheets. The colours also do not have to strictly be green because you can use these as greeting cards, or bookmarks. You may also attach a couple of multicolour Christmas tree cutouts to a string and attach them to the walls of the kitchen or the drawing-room.
2. Ice Cream stick bookmarks
Spare ice cream sticks can be used for making seasonal bookmarks. Attach a paperclip behind the stick. Now you can decorate the front portion of the stick with glitter and small paper cut out faces of Santa or reindeers. These are extremely handy as you will be able to use them when you have an unfinished book to keep away. Personalised bookmarks can be prepared with face cutouts of various Christmas figurines and showpieces.
3. Foam plate Santa puppets.
You can ask your little ones in the house to help you design Santa puppets and reindeer figurines out paper plates and foam ones lying around in the cupboard. This is a fabulous way to engage your child in fun-spirited activities. These are great recreational opportunities for kids during the month of vacation and holidays.
It may be noted that such artistic expressions make use of items that can be reused and recycled. So focus on the junk objects in your homes which can turn into something majestic with a little creativity on your part.
4. Vibrant Straw trees.
Cut pieces of straws of different colours and patterns. Now punch a hole in the middle of the straws and pass the singular string through the holes and tie a knot at the end. The shapes should be in a conical manner, from big to small in descending order, each of which can be of different shades and pattern. Again you can place them as showpieces on the top of the shelves or tie a bunch of them to a ribbon and use it as ceiling decorations and room decor item.
Other recyclable items cupcake holders can be used for making vibrant showpieces and Christmas trees by attaching them in an inverted manner.
5. Seasonal headgears.
As the theme of a gathering or party, you can design a set of headgears hats or bracelets that feature Christmas goodies. For instance, you can make reindeer hats for kids and other visitors to the party. Stick a double-sided tape at the end of the strip so that they are adjustable with the size of the head. Similarly, design themed bracelets for the parties and distribute them to the guests at the doorstep.
6. Wreath of Italian pasta.
You may use pasta pieces to design wreaths and other showpieces of the house. Paint them in gold and silver to add a sophisticated touch to your home decors. You can use them to border the mirror edges and design a unique wall hanging for the gathering or colour them in green and stick them on a cardboard background in a circular manner. This is how your pasta wreath is ready. Now deck it up further with red bobby printed ribbons and shimmering sequins.
Similarly, paper wreaths can be made out of paper plates and a couple of toilet rolls attached to the surface. Paint them in your desired shade and combination to have a handmade craft idea adorning your homes this festive season.
The benefits of such craft ideas lie in the fact that they are zero investment home decor objects and be created out of the unused materials left behind in the cupboards and storerooms.
7. Window decor ideas.
You can draw magnificent designs of trees and Christmas goodies which can be stuck on the edge of glass windows and around the window sills and panes to enhance the beauty and feisty nature of the house.
