Easy Christmas Crafts For Adults and Children

Making Christmas crafts is not only fun, but it can be very easy as well. Christmas crafts help to take the stress out of the Christmas Season by allowing you to take time and relax with an easy activity. There are several easy Christmas crafts that you can do with your kids, but what about easy Christmas crafts that are just for you? Here are three easy Christmas crafts that any adult would love to do and yes kids can do them as well, but they aren't so easy that adults won't enjoy them.

Christmas Ornaments: Making these easy Christmas crafts requires very little time and expense. You will need several plain ornaments; you can choose whichever colors you enjoy. You will need glue, glitter, and tubes of craft paint. To make the ornaments covered in glitter simply draw your design with the glue. This is where this easy Christmas craft can become very adult. You can draw very intricate designs that completely cover the ornament or you can choose a simple design. After making your design out of glue carefully apply the glitter. If you do not do this carefully, you will mess up your design. To create the ornaments with paint, simply choose an ornament and a color of paint that matches really well. Then just draw your design on the ornament with the paint and let it dry. To let these ornaments dry, I suggest placing a hook in the top of the ornament and hanging it somewhere, where the glue or paint will not be touched. For example, you could run a string across the room and then hang the ornaments off of the string until they dry.

Picture Frames: At Christmas, there are so many beautiful picture frames that have a holiday theme. But, why spend the money on these expensive frames, when you could make your own? Making your own Christmas picture frames is such an easy Christmas craft that anyone could do. All you need is a plain picture frame with a large outer boarder, hot glue, regular glue, glitter, and small Christmas ornaments. There are two ways that you can make this easy Christmas craft. The first way, simply involves drawing designs with the glue and then adding glitter. The second way, involves placing the small ornaments on the frame, using hot glue. There are so many cute Christmas ornaments that are made for small Christmas trees and those work perfectly for these frames. You could also combine the two techniques.

T-Shirts/Sweaters: This is an easy Christmas craft that you can give to all your friends and family. To create these easy Christmas crafts you will need a book of transfer sheets (I recommend using Christmas designs), fabric paint pens, a t-shirt or sweater, and an iron. I told you this was going to be easy. First, select an image that you really enjoy or reminds you of the person you will be giving the craft to. Second, position the transfer sheet on the t-shirt/sweater and iron it on according to the directions in the book. Third, color the image in using the paint pens. I suggest placing something in the t-shirt/sweater so the paint doesn't soak through to the back of the garment. After the image is colored in, let the craft dry and then package and give away.
