Holiday Crafts

Since Trent is away for part of the Christmas season, I thought it would be fun to make some crafts for him to have while he is away. Lilah LOVES to do crafts at home, especially anything with stickers! This craft project was so much fun to do with her and you can find these little foam things at any craft store!



I like how the reindeers noses are REALLY sparkly red! Don't mind the drunken eye look, that is where Lilah wanted to put the stickers! My little crafter!




If you can't tell, I had to think of something to stick the reindeer too and it also had to be able to hang. What better to do than recycle?! I found an old gift bag and just cut the sides and bottom off, then attached the reindeer to the outside of the bag! It is perfect for hanging on the wall or even on a tree!




This tree took a bit more work than I thought! Because the tree has sparkles on it, the surface is not as smooth as is needed to stick all the way on! I also had to get used to the idea that the tree will NOT look like that in the picture if a 2 year old is crafting it. Who knew that snow could stick vertically?!




The star is also stuck down with double stick tape!!!




The imbalance of everything makes it that much more adorable!

Happy holidays to everyone!!!

  1. Trent will love them! Anything that a child makes a parent is priceless.

    Did you get these at Michaels? I think that I bought those same exact reindeer today for a craft that we're making for table place settings.

    Happy Holidays to you too!

  2. It is so much fun doing crafts with the kids. Preston's stickers are never perfectly straight, but the finished product is always adorable! She did a great job. Her daddy will love them!
