Kids Christmas Ornament Craft

This was a fun and simple craft to prep for my kids

and their friends. The little houses I picked up at a craft

store for 29 cents each and I already had the glitter, paint

and paint brushes on hand.

I always keep a few plastic table cloths on hand from

the $1 Dollar Store, so I can quickly cover the table

and it makes for easy clean up too. 

I poked a hole (so the finished houses could be easily

hung with ribbon or twine) with a Crop A Dile in the 

tops of each of the wooden roofs.

The kids drew on their houses to give 

themselves some guide lines and then had fun with

the paint. The black lines are glitter glue (left over

from Halloween) and I pulled out some 

Martha Stewart glitter from my crafty stash

which I sprinkled on the wet painted rooftops, 

no glue needed. Now for some string and they are 

ready for the tree!

Makes the perfect gift for a Grandparent too..

DIY Letter Tile Ornaments

I picked up a bag of scrabble tiles from our local thrift shop for just 25 cents and knew exactly what I wanted to use them for! My two older 'littles' helped me spell out all sorts of Christmas words and their names one night and the next day we glued, stuck and made each one unique! The perfect project for their winter break from school and they loved picking out items for each ornament.

An easy DIY project that even little ones can help with!

What you'll need:

wooden scrabble tiles

popsicle sticks

twine, ribbon or pipe cleaners (for hanging)

hot glue gun, glue sticks

jingle bells, felt, pom poms, buttons

(pretty much anything in your craft stash)

Have fun being creative!!
