easy christmas crafts to make pt.2! blogmas post 5

Hi everyone!

 

A few days ago I did a blog post on easy crafts to make and today I want to share another few crafts y'all can make! 

hanging stars

 

what you'll need: 

• glue
• ribbon
• glitter glue 
• star templates (different sizes)
• yellow crayons or paint

method

step 1 -

First, print out a star tempelate that has different sizes of stars and color them all in with a yellow crayon or paint them yellow. Then cover the edges with glitter glue and wait for it to dry.

step 2 -

Now, cut out the stars and cut a long piece of ribbon. Smear one star full of glue and stick the end of the ribbon on the star, then stick the two stars together. Do this with the rest of the stars and there you go!

 

This craft is so much fun! I love coloring and cutting out - it's so satisfying! You can also make one star instead of a few to hang on your Christmas tree or, glue all the edges together and leave a little hole open at the bottom for a star to put on top of the tree!

 

small christmas tree

 

what you'll need:

• 2 toilet paper rolls
• glue
  
• green, red, blue and yellow paint
• silver glitter
• scissors
• laundry pegs
• ribbon
  

method

 

step 1 -

First, cut both toilet paper rolls into half. Then cut the one half big, the other one smaller, and the last one the smallest. I didn't really measure them, I just kind of eyeballed it, haha!

 

step 2 - 

Now that you have your Christmas tree cut out, it's time to paint it. First paint all of the rolls with green paint; if you don't have any green at the moment mix yellow with small amount of blue and keep adding blue till you are happy with the color!

You can decide how many layers you want to paint, I painted two layers.

 

step 3 -

Next, throw on the silver glitter while the paint is still wet and let rolls dry. When they're dry, start painting the ornaments. I used blue, red, and yellow but you can use any colors you want! 

step 4 -

When the paint is fully dry, it's time to glue them. I started gluing the middle sized one to the big one and held them in place with clothing pegs so they rolls don't fall or slide off while the glue dries. Now glue the small one to the middle sized one and secure with clothing pegs. 

Let glue dry overnight.

step 5 - 

When the glue is dry, glue the stem of the Christmas tree the same way you did with the other rolls. I decided to glue it the next day rather than gluing all the layers at the same time otherwise it would have fallen apart, but you may glue them all together if you want!

Next glue the ribbon on top of the tree and wait for the glue to dry! 

 

There you go! You have a very cute, small Christmas tree!
