One great thing about the holidays is they bring the family together. Whether you’re eating the treats or crafting with them you can enjoy this delicious gingerbread cookie recipe<\/a>. Build a home within your home and create a beautiful gingerbread house<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Make the link between relatives stronger with this paper link<\/a> chain craft. You can use them as decorations for the tree or anywhere really. Make them a permanent part of your home and keep them up all year!<\/p>\n

Make\u00a0Christmas cards<\/a>\u00a0even\u00a0more special by crafting them yourself. This is a great way to add your own personal touch or tap into your creative side.\u00a0Ornaments can be a huge part of Christmas. I like to use them in as many ways as possible. They are great for repurposing, but they’re also great for re-decorating. Take things to the next level and make your own<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Christmas Snowman<\/a> by Lauren Manning<\/a> (CC BY 2.0<\/a>)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Looking to shake things up a bit? Try making your very own snow globe<\/a>! Upcycle<\/a> a jar, a glass, or even an old drinking container. All you need is some glitter and a few small ornaments. Let your creative juices flow, then let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!<\/p>\n

Speaking of snow…what better way to use it than to build a snowman<\/a>? Fresh out of fresh snow? No problem, you can make your own play snow<\/a>! That’s right, make your own snow! Hassle free and mess free. You can always try some of these other snow-free snowman crafts<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

Another super cute decoration craft\u00a0that is simple and easy for all ages to do is this mini\u00a0Christmas tree<\/a>\u00a0made from yarn and buttons. Use the leftover materials to decorate sweaters<\/a> and throw and ugly Christmas sweater party! Combine projects with this Washi Tape Tree <\/a>craft. It’s potentially 3 crafts in one. You can make it into a card, turn it into\u00a0a wall decoration<\/a> or use it in place of an actual tree and put presents under it.<\/p>\n
