Christmas Countdown: Deck the Halls with Handmade Ornaments

By Sandy Wallace November 4, 2019

The holiday season is filled with activities for parents everywhere. There's shopping to do, gifts to wrap, cleaning awaiting, baking to finish, meals to prepare, holiday events and activities and more. The Lynchburg Macaroni Kid event calendar helps you find all of the best family-friendly events in Central Virginia.

In the evenings, on weekends or when the kids finish the last week of school before Christmas, pencil in some time to make handmade ornaments to give as gifts or to deck the halls at your own house. It doesn't have to be an all day project and you don't have to spend a lot of money.

Pick up a craft kit at Michael's or cut holiday shapes from construction paper, craft foam sheets, or felt squares. Let the kids decorate with paint or markers and add glitter. Punch a hole, tie in a piece of yarn and they are ready to give or hang on your tree. 

Make holiday memories with Salt Dough Handprint Ornaments to hang from your tree or give as gifts. Let the magic of glitter add sparkle to the holidays with Sparkly Cinnamon Spice Heart Ornaments, perfect to give as gifts or hang from your tree.

Let your kids join in the fun of making Christmas at your house. The memories are priceless.
