2013 X'mas Crafts - Gift Wrapping

Besides growing the crystal X'mas, my son and I also did some special gift wrapping at Christmas.

Originally, I wanted to make some ornaments with paper with my son. But he did not want to make them.

Instead, he wanted to wrap the X'mas gifts with special designs.

Thus, we played gift wrapping this Christmas : )


The earliest Christmas party was held at his school. I gave him some color papers and he decided to wrap the gift in two different designs.

One side with stripes,




Another side with dots. It looked funny  : )

12 DIY X'mas Special Ornaments (Non-Paper)

Christmas is coming. Are you thinking how to decorate your house?

I want to put some ornaments around the house this year. But I do not want to buy them. Because I think that those selling in shops are boring. Most of them are colorful balls only.

I want to make some easy to make but special ornaments with my son.

I surf around the web and found some great ideas! Instead of using paper, they use special materials like felt, button, beads, wooden peg dolls, pom pom, tissue rolls, egg cart, cork, perler, yarn, wire, etc.
