How to make our wood slice snowman ornaments.
Take your white paint and cover the front of your wood slice and then pop it aside to dry
Use your paint markers to give the snowman a face. We added two coal eyes, a little point carrot nose and a wiggly smiley mouth.
Add any additional decoration such as our foam hat, a bow, a bobble hat or whatever takes your fancy! We love using foam instead of paper as it tends to last better year after year.
Cut off a length of ribbon and tie it into a loop, glue the loop onto the back of your snowman and once dry your adorable Wood slice snowman ornaments are ready to hang and display!
These super cute Christmas wreath tree ornaments look amazing hung on the Christmas tree and only require 3 basic materials to make too. They’re perfect for at home crafting and for group crafting too!

How to make our Christmas tree wreath ornaments
Start by taking a selection of beads and threading them onto your pipe cleaner until they cover just over half the length. My daughter has been learning patterns at school so we threaded ours in a repeating pattern!
Once you’re happy with your design, pull the ends around into a circle and twist them together
Fold each length of pipe cleaner into a loop and then twist them together in the middle to make a bow.
Take a length of string, thread it through the first bead on either side of the twisted pipe cleaner and then tie it into a loop. Your super cute Christmas tree wreath ornaments are ready to hang on the tree!
These Christmas lollipop ornaments are so simple and easy to make and they look fab too! Willy wonka and the chocolate factory starring gene wilder was one of my favourite family movies to watch at Christmas and I just love sweet themed christmas decorations because of it. I’ve also purchased Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the chocolate factory book to read with my son this Christmas so these decorations are extra special to us! They can be a little tricky to master at first but they’re quick to learn and once you know how they’re easy to mass produce which makes them a winner for groups such as our after school club too!

How to make our Christmas lollipop ornaments
Start by cutting out several identical circles, to make them urs we used a glue lid to draw around first. You’ll need four of each colour per lollipop but to be safe we cut out an extra two of each incase of any mistakes.
Glue the circles around in a circular shape following an under, over pattern. Each circle should underlap the previous one and overlap the following one.
Take your plain lollipop stick and coat it using your white marker. Pop the stick aside to try.
Tie your length of festive ribbon into a secure bow and trim the edges into a pretty triangle. Glue the popsicle stick down in place on the back of the lollipop and then stick the ribbon down in place where the lollipop and the stick meet.
Using another length of your festive ribbons tie a loop that you can use to hang your ornament and glue it onto the back of the ornament. Pop it aside to dry and once finished your ornament is ready to hang. We just love these!
