I have calculated that you should have almost finished your Advent calendars, so I come today to show some Christmas decoration ideas, what can you do with children, because they involve little difficulty.
As I always tell you: the ideal is to be able to adapt techniques, and sometimes, even using the materials we have at home, without resorting to purchase. Although, you will check, that some of these beautiful crafts, if they will make us go to the craft store or haberdashery.
The canes that you see in the cover photo (I love them), are super easy to get: clean pipes and medium-sized wide-hole, white and red beads. Strum love many young children. The auction can be a fold in the pipe cleaner so that the accounts do not go out, or a small ball with a single hole (put a little white tail inside to make it fixed). We found it on Pinterest (Ellen Scherrer's pin).
We go now with the reindeer, because Who doesn't have Christmas prints with snow, reindeer, Santa Claus, gingerbread cookies in mind? In the next excursion that you do to the mountain with the children, you pick up some twigs, and at the same time, you keep cardboard rolls to complete the idea. A roll and a half for each reindeer, and holes made (with scissors tip first, and cut paper later, beware of the fingers!) Strategically, get a simple result but resulton. It's in Molly Moo.
And what about these jars? Look for a short but wide jar (of jam, peppers, pickles), which is very clean and dry. In the lid you stick plasticine to fit the photo of the child inside, then you throw flour or expanded polystyrene balls: I prefer the first option, because the other is difficult to clean if it falls on the floor, and young children can put it in the mouth. Then you tap the lid well, and you already have a beautiful decoration for the dining room, with which you can also play. In the place where I saw it, there are many other precious ideas.
With five strips of cardboard of the same color, and about two centimeters wide, you can make a lantern. The strips must have: 30 cm two of them, 27 cm other two, and 24 the last; they line up at one end and are pierced with a machine that you will have at home, then they join with a fastener, and they flex to join the other tips, and put them together in the same way.
A silver thread will turn the craft into a pendant for the entrance door home. They are in Curbly.
More laborious, but of great finish, it is this tree that seems to be made with felt, but I would use green kraft paper; and the motifs in metallic cardboard. The main problem is the restraint, because on the wall, neither the fabric nor the paper are well, unless it is punctured: so look for a two-leaf door, and you can fix it to the one that is always closed with jealousy or transparent seal ... you give the reasons to the children so that they are placed. The idea is in Mums Grape Wine.
Finally, this bright sphere has caught my attention: It is made with store-bought pom poms, and a porexpan ball (They have them in stationery stores or specialized stores). The pompoms are fixed with pins, and to hang you can embed a finite eyebolt, or a clip held open by one end (so that it still has a rounded part to pass a loop or raffia ribbon). In Feels like home blog you will find it.
The truth is that We are already having Christmas wish, Don't you think?
