Make Your Own Jingle Bell Bracelets

by Stacy on December 17, 2009

DIY Jingle Bells Bracelets

You only need two items, pipe cleaners and jingle bells, to make these festive bangles. Perfect for kids from two to eighty two and quite possibly the simplest of our Advent Craft Activities this year, but  also one of my kids’ favorites. We made these on the 3rd day of December and then danced around the house singing Jingle Bell Rock. We were moving and grooving and twisting and shouting and shaking our bells with the best of them. Now, that’s what the holidays are all about :)

DIY Paper Plate Bow Wreaths

by Stacy on December 6, 2009

I’ve been doing a Christmas related activity with my children every afternoon and I have high hopes to keep the fun going all month long. The results have been so much more wonderful than I could have ever imagined and I’m certain I’ll make this an annual event.

On 2 Dec, our activity was making a DIY Bow Wreath from paper plates – so simple, yet so stunning – I have big plans for these beauties in my home this year.

To assemble:
~ Fold a Paper Plate in half
~ Cut out the center
~ Attach a piece of ribbon, yarn or string to the back to act as a hanger
~ Let your kids peel and stick bows in any which way they choose
~ Use a stapler to permanently attach the bows so you can enjoy this jewel for years to come
~ Enjoy!
