• Yarn or macrame(color of your choice)
• Cardboard
• Scissors
• Beads or buttons
• Hot glue

I’m a big fan of easy crafts, especially if they involve yarn or beads! In the past I’ve made these yarn wrapped hearts and these pipe cleaner bracelets with my kids. Since Christmas is fast approaching I wanted to make some fun yarn wrapped Christmas tree ornaments. I wish I had more colorful yarn but these turned out great!

How to Make Yarn wrapped Christmas Tree Ornaments

Start by cutting out a tree shape out of your cardboard. Also cut a piece of yarn that will be used to hang your ornament.

Fold the yarn and hot glue in place, this will be the hook for the ornament. You can also use tape since it will be covered by the yarn.

Add hot glue to the bottom of the cardboard and wrap yarn to form the Christmas tree trunk.

Next, starting at the top add more hot glue and attach your yarn. I find that thicker or fluffier yarn works best because it covers up the cardboard better. Continue wrapping around the cardboard.

Add a bit of hot glue throughout to hold the yarn in place. Continue wrapping until you’ve reached the bottom and then glue the last piece into place.

Next, attach beads or buttons to the Christmas tree ornaments.

Then you just have to hang them on your Christmas tree or anywhere else you need some decorations.

And if you’d like to make this craft with your kids, simple sub out the hot glue and use tape. The back might not look at great with tape sticking on it but the front is still adorable!

If you’re from Canada did you know that you can mail Santa Claus a letter and he will write you back? You don’t need any postage! Just send your mail by early December to ensure you get a response in time for Christmas. Also make sure to write your child’s name and address on the bottom or the back of the letter as envelopes sometimes get ripped in transit to the North Pole.

This template is a fun and easy way to get your kids writing! Since the middle is blank there is enough space to write down their entire wish list! Simply print off this blank Santa letter template, let your kids write their letter and mail it off. Here is the address:

Santa Claus
North Pole
HOH OHO
Canada

Other countries may have similar programs so check out the postal service in your area. The United States has a program where children can address their letters to:

Santa Claus
North Pole

When the kids were younger and couldn’t write we let them cut out images from flyers and glue them on. However you choose to write your letter there is something so exciting and magical when checking the mail and finding a response letter from Santa!

• Jar or vase (we got all our materials from the dollar store)
• Epsom Salts
• Christmas village decor
• Bottle brush trees

How to Make a Dollar Store Decorative Christmas Jar

I bought a vase from the dollar store but this Christmas jar could be easily made with upcycled mason jars, pickle jars or vases. Start by adding a layer of Epsom salts in the bottom of the jar. This will be the “snow.”

Next, arrange your bigger pieces inside the jar, such as the bottle brush trees.

Add in your Christmas village figurines. The dollar store had a lot of great options so you can choose whichever ones you want. They had animals, carolers and even street lamp figurines.

Add more Epsom salts over top of the figurines to hold them in place and give them the “snowy” look.

Next, just place your decorative Christmas jar where you need some holiday cheer. I placed mine on the mantle, but it would make a great centerpiece too!

• Picture Frames with Glass (any size)

• Paint Pen or Permanent Marker
• Free Printable Phrases (scroll down to download)

DIY Framed Glass Floating Signs

I am all about the minimalist Christmas look (check out my decorated mantel.) Plus I love that you can use these framed glass floating signs all winter season. Start by printing off this free printable saying “All is Calm” and “All is Bright” It’s in PDF format so you just have to click or download. Grab it here:

Next take your picture frame and carefully remove the glass. You can buy any size frame at the dollar store or paint an old frame any colour. Discard the backing.

Place the glass part of your frame on one of the printable phrases and trace the letters using a paint pen or permanent marker. Wait for your marker to full dry on the glass. I bought a marker made for glass at the dollar tree but ended up using a Sharpie instead. The Sharpie is a bit thicker and turned out better in my opinion.

Add a dap of hot glue on the front of each corner of the glass and carefully place the glass back on the frame.

Now just set it on your mantel, bookshelf or any place you want to add a little Christmas cheer.
