We all love those cute peppermint candies and especially the colour of the candy, that sweet red and white stripes. Why not make a peppermint candy ornament to decorate the Christmas tree?

Now tear some plastic wrap and take a candy ornament. Tear it according to the size of the candy ornament, a bit larger so that it can be tied up. Wrap the plastic in the candy ornament, basically crush the plastic a bit so that it would give a realistic feel. Now, twist the ends of the plastic and tie it with yarn. Your candy ornament is ready. To tie it to the Christmas tree, make a loop at any end of the candy.

2. Woolen caps for decorations Christmas tree craft ideas

Christmas means snow and cold. To make it more warm, let’s make some cute little woolen caps for decorating it in the Christmas tree. All we need is a cardboard paper roll, some multi coloured yarn and that’s it. Cut out a circle from the paper roll. Now, take a piece of yarn and make a loop as it is shown in the video below, on the circle. Make many such loops with different colours of yarn and continue till the whole circle is covered with yarn.

Now turn all the excess yarn from the circle, inside out so that it would give a rough image of a woolen cap. Tie the excess part with a piece of yarn and make a loop for tying it to the Christmas tree. Cut of the exceed yarn a bit to give it a round shape and your warm little Christmas caps are ready.

3. Snowflakes for decorations

Snowflakes are so beautiful to look at. Each snowflake is unique and beautiful in its own way. How can we imagine a Christmas tree without some snowflakes? You can makes these and hang them in the tree or somewhere near the tree to create the effect. All we need is a simple square piece of paper. You can simply take a paper and make a triangle and then cut off the remaining part. We will get two triangles from a single paper.

Take one triangle and then fold it according to the steps shown in the video. An alternative would be to fold the paper in triangle folds and then finally get a cone shape. Make some unique design for the snowflake and then cut out the design carefully making sure not to cut the whole paper. Unfold the paper and see the wonderful snowflake.

4. Decoration from plastic bottles

We have so many waste plastic bottles in home. Instead of throwing them away and polluting the nature, why not use them to decorate our house this Christmas? Take a plastic bottle and with the help of a tape mark a gap of around one inch and then cut it out. Don’t throw away the bottle, we have to use it later. To make the sides even of the circle we have cut out from the bottle, just take the circle and make it even by using a warm iron.

Keep it aside for a while. With the remaining bottle, cut out stars of different sizes. Paint the stars and keep them aside. Now, make some holes in the circle for attaching the stars. Make the holes at an equivalent distance. Attach the stars with thread and needle. Don’t forget to paint the circle. Now just add a string and hang it above the Christmas tree as a walk hanger. You can make many such decors from plastic bottles.

5. Christmas bells

Christmas is incomplete without Christmas bells. We get so many varieties of Christmas bells in the market. Why not try and make one with the kids? All we need is two plastic bottles, a bangle, beads, laces, glitters, glitter foam sheet, glue and some aluminium foils. Cut out the top cone part of two plastic bottles. To make the edge even press it against a warm iron. Take a bangle and apply hot glue to stick it to the top of the plastic cone. Now, take a long piece of golden lace and start wrapping the bangle with it.

After you have completed this part, apply glue on the body of the cone and simultaneously sprinkle the glitters on it. The whole body of the cone should be covered with glitters. Keep it aside to dry. While the cone is drying, let’s make the bells. For making the bells, tear out some aluminium foil and crush it to make it appear like a ball. Now with a strong golden string, pass the whole aluminum ball securely through the inside of the cone and tie it on the bangle. Make around four such balls and repeat the process. Make some flowers from the glitter foam sheet and stick it on top of the cone, near the bangle. Our Christmas bells is ready.

6. Sock dolls

Why not recycle the old socks and make dolls out of them? You can use these dolls as a decor in your kid’s bedroom or better keep it under the Christmas tree to protect the gifts. Take an old sock and cut it in three parts. One should be the lower part, second one would be the ankle part and the third would be the top part with elastic. Fold the lower part and cut it from bottom for about an inch to make it appear like two legs.

Sew them and then fill it with cotton balls or stuffings and then sew it properly. Now, take another bottom part of a sock and fill it with the stuffing and sew it. Now attach both the parts with thread and needle to make it appear like a body. Take the top part and sew the side with no elastic and then use it as a cap for the doll. Add the googly eyes for that cuteness effect. You can even make the hands. Follow the video to see how to make this perfect cute sock doll.
