Creative Christmas Crafts from Royalty Free Images

Creating simple Christmas crafts are one of the family traditions being practiced until now. These creative crafts only need material that we already see around the house.

We just have to recycle them and everything will look brand new. Once you buy a pack of Christmas clipart graphic images to download, you will receive instant Christmas images and have great results for many years to come, with just cut and paste and a bit of imagination.

Here are some of the Creative Christmas Crafts ideas for you to try out:

The Christmas Placemat

Using your old Christmas cards or some of your Royalty free Christmas clipart graphic images, select the pictures you want to use. Just print out and cut your selected Christmas graphic images. You will need three Christmas card regular sized images to make the Christmas placemat.

Glue the Christmas images on a sheet of colored construction paper.  You can also write the child’s name in bright colours or glitter glue, or add a photo of them to the scrap picture collage, so that they can easily tell which mat belongs to them at mealtimes when they set the dinner table.

Once the glue dries, cover the front of the craft and the back using rolls of sticky clear plastic contact.  You can also just slide the picture placemat inside a plastic sleeve used in office clip folders.  Then just sticky tape closed the open end of the plastic sleeve, to enclose it securely. This will make them waterproof and easy to wipe down after each meal.

Make sure there are no gaps or any open sides. Kids will love eating on their own plates with their own handmade placemats.  These also make sweet homemade gifts from the kids to other family members.

The Santa Ornament:

This is great for everyone especially for the kids to give to their friends. Look for plastic ornaments at your nearest craft store.

Open these ornaments and then place your token gift or sweet inside it. Then close it again.

Using wooden balls for Santa’s head, glue on a pair of jiggly eyes or paint some eyes. If you have Christmas clipart graphic images, you can cut out a picture of Santa’s face and glue it to the ball. Glue the ball on the top of the ornament. Then add cotton to serve as his hair on the head, mustache and as his beard.

Glue a red felt hat cap on his head. Then at the middle of the bigger ornament, glue a strip of black paper to serve as his belt. You can glue a patch of black felt at the bottom to serve as the base, and Santa’s boots.  Make all of the body parts look like Santa Claus with bits of felt or coloured paper.

The Countdown chain

Cut green and red construction paper into thin strips. Search for used Gift Wrap so you can recycle those. You can decorate the strips with glitter glue and Christmas writing.

Form the thin strips into a circle, connecting the ends and then glue each of them. When the glue dries, hang it within the level where children can easily reach.  

You can also cut out a picture from your Royalty free Christmas clipart graphic images package and glue them to the paper chain, one picture a day.

Every day children pass by; they will tear the strips attached on the chain until everything is gone, just in time for the holiday!
