Christmas Crafting Crafty Tip
When making the Christmas Puzzle Wreath and you are ready to start gluing the puzzle pieces together, draw a circle on your newspaper to use as a guide, and assemble your Christmas wreath on that circle.
 
Christmas Goody Cans

The Kansas City Public Library has a wonderful collection of craft projects for children. This project is one of many specifically for Christmas.

Thrifty Crafty Tip
The Christmas Goody Cans were designed to be made with chip cans but, any can with a plastic snap-on lid could also be used - just remember to change the shape of the face to fit the can size.
 

Make your homemade gift into a conversation piece with our snowman project that requires only basic sewing skills. Primarily an online bazaar site that features the work of other crafters and artisans, we offer almost 100 free craft projects including 10 just for Christmas. New projects are added each month.

Christmas Gift Crafty Tip
Some of the best gifts come from the kitchen. This project can be two gifts in one. Once the recipient enjoys your homemade treat, they can use their snowman as a cute Christmas decoration by putting some tinsel, Christmas fabric, cotton fluff, or greenery in the jar.

 

 

Simple step-by-step instructions to creating Christmas crafts that you would actually be proud to use for gift-giving. The focus is on easy, un-messy and fun things to make.

Crafty Tip
Stock up on those little Christmas trees the stores always seem to have in abundance after Christmas. Decorate them with some ribbon and other odds and ends and they seem to always become a bazaar favorite. Be sure to wire on and firmly secure all of the decorations to make the tree easy to transport and store.
