After a really great feedback from this neat idea we shared to make a family hand-print Christmas tree ...we thought we'd share some more ideas for the Holidays with you.Source: Momagenda.com
So...... Here's a collection of 10 (what we think are pretty great) Christmas crafts and Craftea activities to make and start your very own traditions.
1. Make Bread Santa
follow the recipe at: Taste of Home2. Gift up some Reindeer noses!
Idea from the blog 'A-Personal Touch' - Use some maltesers, one red bubblegum ball and gift it up with some decorated card stapled onto the bag!3. Get Kids really excited for Christmas with A Package from the Elves!
We just adore this idea from the archives of mum & photographer KatherineMaries.com Fill it with some holiday colouring books, toys, decorations and a note from the elves!
4. Festively Fabulous Candy Cane Vodka!
Recipe from: Scarymommy.com 5. Make Giant Snow Marbles
When youre done making snowman ..here's two pretty different and simple ideas to add a bit of colour to a cold white snowy day.
Instructions & Details at queenvanna.wordpress.com In short, you basically fill a balloon with water dyed with food coloring, leave them outside to freeze and then cut away the balloon. Then have fun making a marble track in the snow, playing bowls with them, or lining them up along the driveway so you wont drive onto the snow covered flowerbeds.6. Snow Paint!
Think of that snow fall as your very own blank canvas. Just pour some food colouring /paint into water bottles and squirt away

9. Shop Locally & Support Local Craftspeople
Save all the stress of fighting the crowds this Christmas and help communities & crafts peopleto thrive by shopping locally at craft fairs, markets or online. You'll find tons of talented people who can make something really really special and unique to give as a present.
