Is Christmastime my favorite time to get crafty? It just might be. There is something so special about making homemade Christmas gifts and homemade Christmas decorations. I know that I love pulling out all of our homemade Christmas ornaments and decorations. This is why I love inspiring young kids and older kids to make crafts. This collection of Christmas crafts for tweens and teens (and adults too) is filled with all kinds of types of crafts.
You'll find Christmas sewing projects, Christmas ornaments, Christmas wreaths, and more. These Christmas crafts are intended for older kids to make, but honestly, I have enjoyed making everyone too. If you happen to be a teacher, these would be fantastic Christmas crafts to make in the classroom. They all use simple supplies and easy techniques, and the results are crafts worth sharing with friends and family.
