Christmas Trees

These Christmas trees are not only gorgeous, they are a lot of fun to make too. The kids, and adults, will be busy for hours, decorating their own little Christmas tree.

  • Green Paint
  • White Paint (optional)
  • Pine Cones
  • Decorations
  • Jar Lids
  • Cotton Wool
  • Glue

Christmas Ornaments

Not only are store bought baubles and ornaments expensive, they are also quite fragile. Save yourself the mess, and a few extra bucks, and opt for handmade ornaments instead. The kids will love creating their very own decorations for the tree.

You'll Need:

  • Yarn, in different colours
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Cardboard
  • Ribbon

Star Garlands

As magnificent as dozens of twinkling lights may be, Christmas lights are an absolute nightmare. When December comes round, we pull the lights from their hiding place and discover a tangled mess! This year, we're leaving the lights in the dusty cupboard and decorating the house and tree with a striking star garland!

You'll Need:

  • Paper
  • Star Punches
  • Twine
  • Glue
  • Paintbrush

Tea Light Jars

These candle jars are a lovely DIY project. And they make for an exquisite gifting option. Easy and affordable, they are fully customisable for any occasion.

You'll Need: 

  • Glass Jars
  • Christmas Shaped Stencils
  • Tape
  • Paint Brush
  • Glue and Glitter (optional)

Find the instructions for this craft here.

Christmas Wreath

Let's face it, wreaths are needlessly expensive. Especially for something that needs to endure the weather conditions of a South African summer. Instead of spending an arm and a leg on a throw-away décor item, gather the brood and make one yourselves.

You'll Need: 
  • Cardboard Base - doughnut shaped, in a size of your choice.
  • Green Tissue Paper
  • Glue
  • Decorations
  • Ribbon
