5 Easy Christmas Crafts for Adults

The holidays are coming, and it’s only right that we start getting ready for the most wonderful time of the year! We’ve compiled a list of 5 easy Christmas crafts you can do, either on your own or with a friend or grandchildren! They’re all simple and look amazing, so you’ll be feeling the festive spirit in no time.

Button Christmas Tree Ornaments

This is the ideal Christmas craft if you have some odds and ends lying around the house. Pardon the pun, but these ornaments are cute as a button, and only take about 5 minutes to make. You may need to go and buy yourself a few supplies, but they won’t cost much, and it’ll be worth it for the result!

Mason Jar Christmas Candles

Use up old jam jars to make delightful Christmas candles! All you need are some cheap pillar candles from the supermarket and any decorations you might want. Pop the candle in the jar and decorate to your hearts content – you can even use up any old craft bits you might not want or need anymore!

Salt Dough Ornaments

Salt dough is one of the easiest ways to make Christmas decorations and goes back hundreds of years. It’s super easy to make, and once you’ve rolled it out, cut it into the shape you want, print a design on it, and leave it to dry. Voila! You’ve made your very own salt dough ornament.

Felt Standing Gnomes

If you’re not much of a sewer, but love fabric ornaments and crafts, then these are perfect for you! These felt gnomes can be customised to your hearts content, and can be dotted around your house in random places. They can be different sizes, different colours – the possibilities are endless!

Plaid Shirt Ribbons

These ribbons are a great way to upcycle old shirts that you don’t wear anymore. Simply cut them into strips – they can be different thicknesses, and you can sew pieces together for different lengths. Tie them around your presents and it looks like you’ve made so much more of an effort than you actually have!
