Decorate your Christmas tree in style!
How will you deck your halls this year? The best kind of decorations are the ones you make yourself. With the average American family admitting to spending approximately $280 per child for Christmas gifts (according to yahoo finance) maybe it's time to introduce them to the the world of homemade items.
From turning light bulbs into snowmen to making hand-print Santa's, the possibilities are endless. What's more it's great fun for all the family and will keep the kids amused for hours! Get them to make extra for grandma and grandpa and wrap them up for special Christmas presents that your folks will love.
Snowman crafts
I love decorating with snow and snowmen because that's one of those decor items that you can leave up all winter long not just during Christmas! So today's video I'm going to be sharing with you is budget friendly and super quick and easy! First is this really cute simple and quick mason jar snowman so I'm starting with a mason jar from the dollar tree also some ribbon, white chalk paint, some buttons along with my hot glue gun. So the first thing I did was take the lid off of the jar and then I painted it with two coats of my white chalk paint.
Once the paint had dried i used my hot glue gun to glue on three buttons down the middle of the jar and to give him a cute scarf I'm using some plaid ribbon from hobby lobby. I love this tartan style ribbon - I just folded it in half around the rim of the jar and then tied a double knot. I cut my ends to size and then trimmed up the bottom so that it would have kind of a fringe effect and look more like a scarf so this would be super cute!
Christmas classroom doors
Hey guys, today we're gonna make this little green door classroom decoration I'm making for teachers. If you have you know any teacher to help or you want to do that in your door I found this ornament at the a dollar store so I decided to buy there instead of making one!
You can use a dish to make a circle big enough to cover that - you know the holes on that ornament if you don't want to go to the dollar store and buy that. You just cut this piece of paper and make your own ornament with the letter!
Fishbowl snowmen
Today I'm going to be creating these mr. and mrs. snowmen using all Dollar Tree items except for these spray paint so if you want to see how I created them then watch the video below.
I'll be using two of the small fishbowl vases and then two of the larger ones these are found where all the bases are and two of these LED push lights some diamond wrap and some of this leftover material that I had a box cutter six of these square mirrors my glue gun some scissors some foam board!
Christmas wrapping for kids

Wooden Christmas signs
Today I'm going to be turning this 1x8 pine board into a holiday welcome sign for the front porch so let's get started I'm using my miter saw here to square off the end of the 1 by 8 and then I cut mine down to 42 inches long you can also ask your hardware store to cut your wood down for you, usually they'll do this for free!
Alright so I have my wood prepped now - I cut mine down to 42 inches tall and you can of course make yours to the height that fits your space and then I sanded it all really well with 80 grit sandpaper and my orbital sander however my board has a pretty good knot here and you can see it's cracking and I don't want to see that when I'm painting!
