easy christmas crafts to make! blogmas post 4

Hiya!

I love making things, gluing them together, painting, basically doing anything that's creative. My mom and I decided this year we're going to make Christmas decorations to hang around the house! And today I want to share what we've made so far and I'm going to tell y'all how to do it!

easy christmas crafts!

small snowman

 

what you'll need:

• glue
  
• toilet paper roll
  
• scissors
• white A4 paper
• ribbon or pipe cleaners
  
• small fluffy balls
• markers (pink, black and orange)
  
• fabric 

method

 

step 1 -

Fold the long side of the A4 paper in half and cut it. You'll be able to use 1 piece of paper for two snowmen! Apply glue all over roll and stick paper around the whole roll. Rub it lightly so there aren't any air bubbles. Cut off extra paper. Next fold over the extra paper that's sticking out above and stick it with glue.

 

  

Now, apply glue around the edge, where the paper that's folded over is, and stick a piece of paper over it - this will close the one side of the roll. 

 

 

step 2 -

Next we're making the ear muffs. Cut a piece of ribbon/pipe cleaner and stick the two ends on both sides of roll with glue. Then stick the small fluffy balls on the ribbon and you've got the ear muffs!

 

step 3 -

Time to make the scarf. Cut a piece of fabric long enough to go around the roll and make a knot. Then tie the scarf around the roll but don't glue the whole piece of fabric, just glue the pieces you tied.

 

 

step 4 -

Wait for the glue to dry, we waited over night, and then draw the little face and two dots as his buttons! There you go, you have a very cute, small snowman!

They're so easy to make and the supplies were super affordable! And you can choose any color you want! 

 

santa in the chimney

 

 

what you'll need:

• 2 toilet paper rolls
  
• red paint
• red fabric
• white fluffy ball
  
• glue
• black marker & paint
  
• gold paint
  
• cotton 
• cardboard
• pencil

method

step 1 -

First, paint the two rolls red (I used a red glitter paint) and let them dry. You can decide whether or not you want to paint two layers.

step 2 - 

Time to start making Santa's legs and hat! For his hat, cut a triangle out of red fabric. Then, glue a small white fluffy ball or cotton at the top of the triangle, and let it dry.

For the legs, draw two legs and boots on cardboard, then paint the legs red and the boots black. Remember to leave some space between the shoes and the pants for the cotton! Once the paint is dry, cut the legs out and glue a good amount of cotton between the boots and the pants.

 

step 3 -

For the gift bag, draw a bag on some cardboard and wait for it to dry. Then paint a line with gold paint at the top of the bag as a rope. When it's dry, cut it out and you have your gift bag!

step 4 -

When the chimney's paint is dry, draw some bricks with a black marker. Now you can glue Santa's hat to one chimney and his legs to another. I used glue for the hat but I used tape for the legs and bag because I was too excited to finish it and didn't want to wait for glue to dry, haha.

 

step 5 -

Wait for the glue to dry and there you go! You have a very cute decoration to put on top of your fireplace or any where you want to! 

 

I loved making this craft because it's so cute and easy to do! It's adorable how Santa tries to get down the chimney!
