Adorable Yarn Ornament

I did it! I did it! Or should I say, We did it!? M and I completely our first Christmas craft! #5 on my holiday to-do list is almost complete. Only because I want to do atleast one more craft with M, which I already have a few ideas in mind. Because we had so much fun I'd like to share our process for making these adorable yarn ornaments because it is so easy!

You will need:

Scissors
Glue
Empty cereal or cracker box
Yarn
Buttons and/or sequins or small embellishments

1. Draw star, or any shape on cardboard from empty cereal box/cracker box.
Idea: Let your child draw their own shape. It will be a beautiful memento for years to come.

2. Glue end of yarn to your shape.

3. Start wrapping yarn around the shape to cover as much of the shape. And wrap. And wrap. And wrap. Hint: Glue as you go to hold yarn in place. I used a glue gun because the glue dries quickly.

4. Once your shape is wrapped in yarn decorate with sequins or buttons.

5. Don't forget to add a piece of ribbon to hang it. Idea: Also add a small tag with your little ones name and date of creation.

Ta da! Now hang it up for the holidays!

All kinds of crafts.

It only seems natural that the first item I want to cross off my holiday to-do list is something crafty. I can't help but hop online and search for inspiration. I quickly narrowed my list to kid friendly, inexpensive holiday themed crafts. Of course, the list is endless. But, I decided I'd share some of my favorite ideas with you. 

I found easy snowflake ornaments here.

When the creating is over EAT this craft.

All you need for this one is: 

Needle, thread and buttons.

How about a countdown to Christmas craft list? How adorable are those pizzas?

I love snowmen. Check out this lil guy.


So, invite the kids to the kitchen table and start creating.

Keep loving.
