Handmade xmas decarations, ideas please?

[marne]

Thought i would make some decorations with the step kids today as dh is moaning that i dont do anything creative with them. Got loads of card, gliter etc... but what can we make?
Also is there any websites where i can print xmas shapes etc off of?

Google it. It comes up with loads. I was going to make mine with salt dough but bought a tub of clay from ELC for a £5 and usd that instead.

I made the shapes as dd is only 2 but she has decorated them and they look fab.

I made snowflakes with ds yesterday and he is only 2. used white pipe cleaner and folded it into snowflake shape then tons of glitter on them. Am sure you could do the same with card snowflakes. Also cut out bauble shapes and decorate them.

Thankyou for your ideas, i like the sound of the snow flakes nemo.

Too late to help you out for today but I cut out stocking shapes from card and let the kids decorate them with glitter, paints, stickers or whatever and we are going to string them together and hang them up.

we maade some fairies using oldfahioned wooden pegs, bits of cloth, glue, ribbon etc. oh, and pipe cleaners for arms. look lovely. am impressed with self.
