Sock Snowman

Reindeer Antlers
Cut a band out of red construction paper to fit the child's head and brown construction paper using the child's hand as a pattern. The hands are then attached to the front of the red band. Add sequins, stickers, pompoms, etc., for decoration. You can use any decorative odds and ends you may have.

Gift Box Christmas Ornaments

Pinecone Christmas Trees
A dry pinecone is smeared with glue and then sprinkled with green glitters. Paper stars, sequins, tinsel and glitter can be used for further adornment. This Christmas arts and craft idea will last for years!
Personalized Christmas Stocking
Christmas stockings are common items of Christmas, and one of the easiest Christmas arts and craft idea is to personalize them. Iron-on letters or glitter-and-glue pens can be used to write the name on the stockings. Writing with glue pen and then smearing glitters is a good idea, too.
Christmas Wreath
Start with a twisted vine-wreath base, either natural or artificial. On this wreath, pine boughs, artificial fruit and four different colored ribbons (width and color of choice) can be arranged loosely. Different arrangement can be tried. Once you like the arrangement, the pine boughs are to be cut according to desired length and glued to the wreath. To complete the decoration, use ribbons, dried fruits, holly berries, etc., and glue to the wreath in the same fashion. Instead of pine boughs, small clumps of leaves from the Holly branches can be attached to the wreath, for a more traditional look.
