Hey friends! This month I’m getting ready for some community-building craft nights. And I figured it might be a good time to share ideas I’ve had with you, too. Whether you want to host your own craft night (highly recommend!), join in my craft night calls, or just use the project ideas for Christmas presents, this list is for you!
Let’s start now so we are ready before the December craziness begins!
Projects:
- Cards
- Treats
- Ornaments
- Quick gifts for stockings or gift baskets
Craft night ideas:
- Online (join us on Thursdays at 7pm ET here)
- Grab your latest project
- Fill a mug with a cozy drink
- Call from your creative space
- In person (you can do it!)
- Throw on a Christmas movie or playlist
- Light a cinnamon candle if no one is allergic
- Have cocoa, tea, cookies, cheese, and/or a veggie tray nearby!
- Make Christmas cards
Cut out shapes from colorful paper (my yearly Cricut use); create card bases with cardstock; grab glue and writing utensils; and find sequins, pom poms, bells, glitter (if you’re brave), and… googly eyes? You get the idea! Then prepare a couple designs for inspiration:- Christmas trees
- Fireplace with garland
- Stockings
- Nativity
- Snowman
- Gingerbread man or house
- Crochet ornaments
Great for eating up scrap yarn! And some of these are big enough to hold a gift card or some chocolate:- Mini sweater
- Mini stocking
- Mini wreaths
- Candy canes
- Pompom hats
- Gingerbread man
- Snowflakes (stiffen with cornstarch or diluted glue and pin)
- Small gifts
Yes, these are DIY ideas, but I won’t judge you if you buy them. I haven’t made them all yet myself! But they are on my crafting bucketlist.- Candle
- Basket
- Shampoo
- Bath bomb/bath salts
- Cozy socks or slippers
- Lip balm/chapstick
- Multicolored or themed coasters
- Treats
You’ll probably want to wait until December for these… but you can start planning (and practicing) now!- Candy sleds (use hot glue to attach candy bars on top of candy canes)
- Fudge (so cute in tins with parchment paper!)
- Cracker Jacks (I recommend an air popper to avoid kernels)
- Puppy chow (also known as muddy buddies)
- Gingerbread men (the real deal!)
