Christmas crafts

I bet the busiest time of year for craft stores is the holiday season. There are so many amazing projects to try, and when you’ve got Christmas crafts on your holiday “to do” list, you’re going to need to make a few stops at the craft store. Some crafts, however, can be done using materials found in nature. Twigs, for example, are easy to find in your yard and don’t cost you a thing! Using twigs can create a very rustic look, which is perfect for Christmas.

Of course, you’ll probably need to deck out your crafts with some Christmas cheer, so additional supplies might be needed. But are you really upset that you’ll need to go shopping for craft supplies? I didn’t think so! Add a touch of rustic chic to your home this Christmas by making one of these twig crafts.

3. Twig Gift Tags

Add some pizzazz to the gifts you give this year by decorating the gift tags with twigs and paper. You’d be amazed at how much this small detail adds to the overall look of the gift. This would look exceptionally fabulous attached to gifts wrapped in paper and/or with burlap.

6. Modern Twig Stars

The star is very symbolic at Christmas, so a star craft is always a good choice at Christmastime. This is a modern version, and you can get really creative with it. Add string and hang these on the tree, fill a bowl with them and put in the center of your coffee table, or connect them with yarn and hang as a garland across your fireplace. The possibilities are endless!

Check out North Story for instructions on putting these together, and have a gander at the other project ideas that are there.

7. Twig Picture Frame

You can’t exactly use this as a picture frame in the traditional sense, but this makes a gorgeous addition to a gallery wall. Adorn with seasonal elements, or style it using embellishments that work all year long. Frame a wall quote, or another small piece of decor to enhance the display, or leave the center blank for a simpler look.

eHow has the information on how to construct this.

8. Twig Wall Christmas Tree

I think this idea is a really fun way to decorate your wall with some Christmas spirit! You’ll need large twigs for this, if you want the full effect. Add pops of color with ornaments, and maybe even use this to display Christmas cards!
