properly. Read on to get some simple Christmas craft ideas.
- Gift baskets can be made into special occasion (Christmas)
gift baskets in no time! You can use colorful ribbons to
decorate the gift basket and entirely change the look of the
basket! Wrap the ribbon around the lip of the basket and attach
it using hot glue. Twist the ribbon in a narrow rope and then
glue it around the rim. Secure the ends with dabs of glue. Line
the inside of the basket with straw and then fill it with stuff.
- Surprise your kids with customized Christmas stockings! You
may do some embroidery work in the stockings. Give your personal
touch by writing your kids' name in the stockings using glitter
glue pens and then stuff the stockings with small gifts, toys,
and candies!
- Shining snowball ornament can be easily made by using
Styrofoam balls. Cover the Styrofoam ball with pushpins. Use
satin ribbon for hanging. Make a small loop and use one of the
pushpins to secure the loop tightly. To give a sparkling effect,
spray paint the ornament using glitter spray. When the ball is
completely dry, hang it on your Christmas tree.
