12 of the best adorably easy Christmas crafts we could find

As the holiday season approaches, the task of rushing out to purchase decorations before tackling household improvements may seem overwhelming. However, there’s no need to worry. You can repurpose various items already present in your home. Through some do-it-yourself creativity, you can turn everyday objects into festive decorations.

Hangers for hanging

Grab a few extra hangers from the laundry room and find a big table so you can hook them up together.

Invert to form a star of sorts

Take two clothes hangers and cross them at the center, forming an “X” shape, and repeat with the other hangers.

Secure and hang them up

Add the final hanger by connecting its ends to the remaining open tips of the star’s arms. This will complete the star shape. Now hang them up for all to see!

Reusable cards

In a blender, toss in scrap paper, seeds, and water. Blend and strain on a baking pan.

Spread and dry

Lay it out and spread the mixture over the pan. Cover with a clean, dry cloth and allow it to dry.

Seed starter card

Now you have Christmas cards that can be planted afterwards!

Christmas candles

Grab those holiday-themed napkins and slowly tear off the decorated part.

Roll that candle

Lay it out on a clean table and roll a candle on the napkin until the candle is wrapped.

Light them up

Paper binds to wax when heated so use a blow dryer and gently dry until you get a lovely holiday candle.

Old gloves can be turned into cute stuffed bears

Grab that old glove and remove the finger with a hole.

Stuff that fluff

Fill each finger with the stuffing material, leaving a little space at the top. These will be the teddy bear’s arms and legs. Sew buttons or safety eyes onto the teddy bear’s face. Use embroidery floss or thread to create a nose and mouth.

Decorate and display

Trim any excess threads, fluff up the stuffing to achieve the desired shape, and make any additional adjustments. Now you have a cute stuffy!

Old bulbs can decorate trees

Those dying bulbs can be turned into cute tree decor so don’t throw them away.

Dress them up

You can dress and decorate them to look like ornaments so get creative.

Shining as bright as ever

Just hang them up on the tree for all to see. Now you’ve got new decor!

Stand up stockings

You can divide those empty soda bottles into 2 or 3 distinct pieces by cutting them. Simply use cardboard to measure and provide additional stability for the cut sections.

Dress them up

Wrap with holiday-themed napkins and decorate to your heart’s content.

Endless possibilities

These are super cute so make as many as you can and lay them around the house.

A hat for the bulb

Start wrapping the yarn around the paper roll, covering it completely. Continue wrapping until you achieve the desired thickness for the hat.

Trim and secure the yarn

Once you’re satisfied with the yarn wrapping, cut the yarn and secure the end by tucking it under the wrapped layers or using a small amount of glue or tape.
