With Christmas just around the corner, people are looking for suggestions on Christmas crafts that they can make. Crafters love to share their knowledge on how they assemble the Christmas crafts, and Associated Content is a great website for how-to guides for Christmas crafts. Christmas crafts are a great way to recycle material and be creative about it. So without further ado, here is a list of some of the best Christmas crafts articles on Associated Content.

We will start out with the Christmas tree. Content Producer Lou Lou describes in his article, "Homemade Christmas Tree Ornaments" how to make two Christmas crafts. In the first Lou Lou explains how you can make holiday bow ornaments out of strips of construction paper. (These bows also work well on presents!) The second is how to make homemade cookie ornaments. The dough and salt recipe, preparations, and finishing touches are covered in detail.

Tiffany B details in her article, "How to Make Christmas Cards into Christmas Ornaments for Next Year" how to make ornaments from Christmas cards. She describes three variations of this Christmas craft.

For the holiday wreath, Mr. Dave in his article, "How to Make a Homemade Christmas Wreath from Scratch" describes how to go about assembling a wreath from bare materials. He describes the materials needed for this craft and how to obtain them. Then he describes how to assemble the wreath. Many of the above-mentioned ornaments can be used to decorate the wreath.

Now let's focus on some unique Christmas crafts. Candy canes can be a problem, but not for Amy Brantley. In her article, "Christmas Crafts Made with Candy Canes," Amy Brantley details three unique Christmas crafts that are made from candy canes; an ornament, a candy dish, and a centerpiece.
