I’ve made this Christmas crafts list for you to give you some ideas. These are all easy and beginner-friendly. Some can be Christmas crafts for kids, but require adult supervision when cutting and gluing. If you’re looking for budget-friendly Christmas decorations, check out this list. I’m sure you’ll find one that you like. Have fun crafting!

DIY Christmas Ornaments

1 – Paper Christmas Ornament

This paper christmas ornament is probably the easiest DIY on this list as it only requires cutting circles, folding them in half, and gluing them together. The key here is to cut the circles exactly the same size to get perfect edges. If you’re not a big fan of cutting circles like I do, I’ve got you. Instead of cutting them manually, I used a big round hole puncher. It is a time-saver and energy-saver, a must if you’re planning to make a lot. Here’s the link: https://amzn.to/4qjgHXB
