Christmas Is Just Around the Corner: Festive Craft Projects with Kids

Where did the year go? It feels like just yesterday we were welcoming in the New Year, and suddenly, Christmas is right around the corner! As a family, we’ve always found joy in making, rather than buying, gifts and decorations, and I’m excited to pass that tradition on to my grandchildren this year.

If you’re looking for fun, budget-friendly projects to create with little ones, you’re in the right place! I’ve gathered four delightful wet felting ideas from our past family Christmases, all made using readily available household materials. While you may need to order some supplies from online craft stores, they require only small quantities, keeping costs down.

Project 1: Shiny White Contemporary Christmas Trees

These elegant little trees make a stunning entryway display! Last year, I clustered them together with a tea light candle underneath, creating a warm, welcoming glow for visitors.

Project 2: Traditional Mini Christmas Trees

A classic choice, these trees are perfect for your holiday table or as charming “stocking stuffer” gifts. Add a tea light candle beneath for an extra festive touch!

Project 3: Plum Pudding Surprise

This fun project is ideal for teachers or colleagues! Fill your mini plum pudding with chocolates for a delightful surprise. They also make lovely place holders when paired with a tea light candle.

Project 4: Holly Leaf Brooch

One of my favorites! This holly leaf with berries can be worn as a brooch or scarf pin, or used to adorn your Christmas tree. My dog even got into the spirit by sporting a holly leaf on his collar!
