Get A Head Start with Christmas in July Crafts

July 16, 2015 by FaveCrafts

I love Christmas as much as the next person, but it seems like every year, craft stores put out the holiday materials earlier and earlier. Just the other day I was at Michael’s and they had an aisle dedicated to Christmas ornaments already! It is absolutely crazy, but if you’re like me and have a strict budget, and just like to glitter everything on a daily basis, then you have to get started. I make hand-painted, homemade Christmas cards, so I have to get started early. I’m not quite sure when “Christmas in July” became such a trend, but it once it started, it has taken hold of July as a pre-season preparation. Christmas crafts have so many themes between a “White Winter Wonderland” to just the traditional colors of red and green. Since rustic crafting is still going strong, I wanted to focus on some rustic Christmas crafts.

Rustic Christmas in July Crafts

Rustic Christmas

 

Crafting is the easy and cheap way to change your decor more often. With holidays, they tend to stick to typical themes. Fourth of July is obviously themed red, white, and blue; Halloween is black and orange with pumpkins everywhere and scary stuff, and Easter typically sticks with pastels. Christmas? Christmas is such a big holiday that you can do anything to your taste. I always like a lot of color in my apartment. On a typical day, it has neutral colors with an accent color to make items pop. So when Christmas rolls around, it is easy to decorate because I just switch out the accent color for some cute DIY pillows and homemade centerpieces.

All of these crafts would look fabulous together. What I love about rustic themes is that they use “natural” materials to make beautiful and classic decor. I use that lightly, only because you can make anything rustic-looking. You always find burlap crafts and rustic weddings, but we need a rustic Christmas. If you’re already rocking the country home decor, then these will fit right into your home. They are super easy Christmas crafts that can easily be put up and put away.

My personal taste for Christmas decor? I grew up with the lights that had all the colors: red, green, yellow, some blue, and white. I feel those colors make my small space decorating just a little cozier, as long as I don’t go overboard on the decorations. Whatever is on my tree (usually those string of lights with the colors above) along with the general consensus of colors from my ornaments (my collection doesn’t have a theme—I’ve gotten a LOT since I was small), is the theme and color scheme that I choose.

What is your typical theme for Christmas? What is  a staple item that you center it around?

More Delicious DIY: Skiing PEEPS® Snowman Cupcake Toppers

November 30, 2013 by FaveCrafts

This project is brought to your by Maria Del Pinto.

Here is a fun holiday luncheon table decor craft that doubles as a sweet dessert. This project featured a cute Christmas holiday snowman PEEPS® treat.

Materials:

  • PEEPS® Snowman
  • Two small candy canes (6” length)
  • 1-inch piece of a candy cane
  • Royal icing (white)
  • Icing piping bag and tip
  • Assorted Christmas candy sprinkles
  • Store-bought or homemade cupcake with white icing

Instructions:

Using your favorite royal icing recipe (or purchase pre-mixed royal icing at a cake supply store), mix up the royal icing.   Place the icing in piping bags to use to build the skis for the snowman.

Using a piping bag, draw a line of white royal icing on one side of each of the six-inch candy canes.

Then attach the one-inch piece of candy cane between the two six-inch candy canes. Allow icing to harden.

Once the icing has dried, take the PEEPS®  snowman and using the royal icing, attach it to the one-inch piece of candy cane. Use a small Dixie Cup to hold the snowman in place until the icing dries.

Then using the candy sprinkles, decorate the icing on the cupcake.

Carefully place the PEEPS® Skiing Santa onto the cupcake.  Make sure to press it into the icing so that it will stay in place.

Delicious DIY: Use PEEPS® to Make a Christmas Candy Sleigh

November 27, 2013 by FaveCrafts

This project is brought to your by Maria Del Pinto.

Here is a fun and easy way to share the holiday spirit with friends and family. This project features adorable Christmas holiday PEEPS® treats on a candy sleigh.

Materials:

  • PEEPS® (Gingerbread Man and Reindeer)
  • Two Candy Canes
  • Rice Krispies square
  • Skittles
  • Royal icing (white and red)
  • Icing piping bags and tips
  • Assorted Christmas Candy

Instructions:

Using your favorite royal icing recipe (or purchase pre-mixed at cake supply store), mix up the royal icing.  Split batch in half and add red food coloring to one batch and mix.   Place the icing in piping bags to use to build and decorate the sleigh.  If you have egg sensitivities, you may wish to use melted white chocolate instead (make sure to follow manufacturers direction to properly melt chocolate).

Before starting, make sure to unwrap all the candy to make the decorating process faster. Then using a piping bag, draw two lines of white royal icing on the rice crispy square.  Lay the two candy canes on top of the Rice Krispies square equally spaced to create the base of the sleigh. Allow icing to dry.

Once the icing has dried, turn the base over. Tthe Rice Krispies square should be facing up. Take the PEEPS® Reindeer and using the red royal icing, attach a red skittle to his nose to make it bigger.  Allow to dry.

Take the PEEPS® Gingerbread Man and using both colors of the royal icing, add a few candy accents to add color to him.  Use the red icing to make a line at his feet and hands.  Don’t forget to put a little red icing on his mouth so you can see his smile.  Once the icing dries, poke a toothpick into him to help support him (and hold him in place) when you put him onto the sleigh.

Using the two colors of royal icing, begin to attach some of the Christmas candy to decorate the sleigh. To finish, use the icing to attach the PEEPS® Reindeer to the front of the sleigh.

Make sure to leave room for the PEEPS® Gingerbread man at the top of the sleigh. Remove the toothpick from the PEEPS® Gingerbread man.  Use the toothpick to carefully push through the candy bar into the Rice Krispie square.

Here Comes Santa Claus!

November 26, 2013 by AllFreeHolidayCrafts

ChristmasBlogIt’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but holiday madness has started to descend. Have you started planning for Christmas yet, or are you too zeroed in on the big Thanksgiving feast? Department stores are already decorated for the holidays and shelves are prominently stocked with wrapping paper, gift bags, and all types of wintery decorations. Whether you’re excited and planning for Christmas already or waiting, AllFreeHolidayCrafts has you covered!

At this time of the year I’m personally super excited for Thanksgiving; I have a small immediate family, so any time we get together is cherished. It also helps that everyone has an adorable dog they bring around. Dinner is potluck style, so everyone brings some sort of side dish to share and the biggest challenge of the night is how to fit everything on your plate during your first pass through the food. With full plates and fuller glasses, the entire evening just descends into laughter and puppy kisses.

Despite having Thanksgiving on my mind, I know I’m starting to think about Christmas. There are plenty of gifts I’m planning on buying for my friends, but I also want to try my hand at making them some creative gifts. The holiday season is also prime baking time, so of course I have all sorts of chocolate-y recipes I want to try.

To ease you into the Christmas mindset, here are some Christmas ideas. You’ll find patterns for Christmas-themed accessories, DIY Christmas gifts and decorations, and even some tasty, tasty recipes. For those that enjoy planning ahead and sending out some holiday cards, don’t worry; you’re covered, too.

Holly Jolly July: 8 Decorations to Start Quilting for Christmas

July 19, 2013 by FaveQuilts

I absolutely love the summertime fun of taking day trips to the beach, tending to healthy flowers in the garden,  and throwing outdoor BBQ parties. Yet, I also love Christmas cookies, bright red poinsettias, and making handmade quilted gifts for loved ones. Fortunately, I don’t have to pick between my favorite season and holiday — I can just combine them by making wonderfully festive Christmas in July quilt projects!

Although the holidays aren’t for another 6 months, all of the editors FaveQuilts are already getting ready for this year’s Christmas quilting projects. Check out our list of our most loved decorative Christmas quilts that you need to get started on today.

 

Christmas Quilt Kitchen Decor

Christmas-Tree-Hot-Pad--1--

Creating your own Christmas-themed quilts for the kitchen is not only an easy way to save money, but also an easy way to add a burst of cheerful festivity to your home! For example, this pattern idea for a Christmas Tree Hot Pad  will come in handy when it’s time to take a Christmas ham or Christmas casserole out of the oven. If you have a few green and red layer cake fabrics handy, you can quickly piece together the multi-hued Christmas Joy Centerpiece to add a cute quilted Christmas decoration to any kitchen counter or dining room table. Personally, I like making minimalistic patterns for my quilted home decor; which is why I really love this extremely simple quilt pattern for this gorgeous Christmas Randot Table Runner.

 

Christmas Tree Quilt Decorations

Christmas-Tree-Skirt-in-JulyWhile palm trees are currently thriving in this July heat,  nothing gives you that Christmastime cheer like imagining a gorgeous, decked-out Christmas tree. Your family’s evergreen will really stand out this year if you start making your quilted Christmas decorations, like the Christmas in July Tree Skirt, before Santa comes to town! If you’re tired of overly tinseled trees, you’ll enjoy the simple, but stunningly classic pattern for the Starry Christmas Ball Ornament. Don’t forget to make personalized Christmas quilt patterns for your kids or grandkids with the Scrappy Christmas Tree Stocking.

 

Wall Hanging Quilts for Christmas

Christmas-Tree-Farm-Wall-HangingDon’t let the holidays sneak up on you — prepare yourself for the most wonderful time of the year by making an advent calendar quilt or a wallhanging Christmas quilt. Some of FaveQuilts‘ all-time favorite patterns include the Christmas Traditions Advent Calendar and the Merry Christmas Wallhanging. We also are pleased to bring you this NEW Christmas quilt pattern called the Christmas Tree Farm Wall Hanging, which features a whole forest of adorable and soft quilted evergreen pictures.

In Case You Missed It: “11 Christmas Gift Ideas: Handmade Scarves, Hats and More”

July 14, 2013 by AllFreeChristmasCrafts

I am a huge fan of festive attire at any time of year. During the summer, I create wearable crafts with more color than in fall or winter. Around Halloween, I bust out the orange and black and go a little heavier on the eye makeup. At Easter, it’s pastels at all times, and pretty dresses.

The same trend holds true, of course, around Christmastime. Bring on the ugly sweaters, the handmade hats, the holiday earrings. You better believe I’ll find an excuse to wear my knee-high green and red striped socks, and I’ll roll up my skinny jeans to show them off, proudly. To me, nothing says “I’m getting in the holiday spirit” like dressing up in wearable crafts.

You can make great wearable crafts for the holidays when you download the 11 Christmas Gift Ideas: Handmade Scarves, Hats and More eBook! Christmas wearable crafts are perfect gifts for anyone on your Christmas list. Even if your friend, cousin, or child doesn’t love to wear handmade hats or homemade scarves, there’s always the argument of practicality. If it’s cold, you’ll need a hat. Why not make it an elf hat? If it’s brisk, you’ll need a scarf. Why not make it a Fleece Scarf with Pom Poms?

It may be more than six months until Christmas, but making great handmade Christmas gifts takes time . . . especially if you’re going to try making all eleven wearable crafts in this great AllFreeChristmasCrafts eBook!

What you’ll find in this eBook:

Loom Knitted Santa Hats: Talk about getting in the Christmas spirit. Nothing says “Merry Christmas!” like these great Loom Knitted Santa Hats. They’re festive, sure, but they’re also practical: if you live in a seasonal climate, you need to keep that head warm. Put those knitting skills to the test when you knit this great handmade Christmas gift found in the 11 Christmas Gift Ideas: Handmade Scarves, Hats and More eBook.

Santa Scarf: Now this homemade scarf is just so precious, I had to share. The scarf project has you make Santa’s face and beard on one end, and the entire length of the scarf is his hat! The scarf tapers to a point, then you attach a puff ball for the pom-pom, and you have the finished product. Best of all, you don’t need to sew to make this adorable scarf because this blogger gives directions for a no-sew version as well. Find this incredibly endearing scarf in the 11 Christmas Gift Ideas: Handmade Scarves, Hats and More eBook.

I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas: Recycled Christmas Craft Ideas

April 21, 2013 by AllFreeChristmasCrafts

By the time December rolls around, we usually aren’t thinking about green crafting. The weather outside simply forbids any notion of “green”. As Earth Week rolls around though, Little-Old-Me got to thinking that recycled crafts should be incorporated into Christmas. Here are a handful of recycled crafts to decorate or gift with this Christmas.

 Recycled Christmas Card Crafts

Christmas Card LettersChristmas Card Place MatsWrapping From Recycled Cards

I know what you’re thinking, “AllFreeChristmasCrafts, how can I be environmentally conscious when everyone and their second cousin is sending me Christmas cards and letters about their families that I’m obligated to keep for months?” Those cards certainly add up. Then they sit in a basket next to your couch before eventually being thrown away.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget how creative you are. Take these Christmas Card Letters, for example. This is a Christmas card craft you can absolutely accomplish. Plus, you’ll love doing it. Select your favorite designs from your Christmas cards and scrapbook them onto wooden letters of your choice.

I loved this idea from Mama Buzz. This is a great Christmas craft for kids that can be used all season long. Use your Christmas cards to make Christmas Card Place Mats. They are easy to make and can be used year after year.

If you’re thinking that you have enough Christmas decorations in your house, another great idea is Wrapping From Recycled Cards. When you think about it, it’s silly to buy pricey wrapping paper that’s just going to be thrown away. Instead, recycle Christmas cards to make wrapping paper. Just remember not to send someone a present wrapped in the Christmas card they sent you!

Make Your Own Recycled Ornaments

Toilet Roll Yule Log OrnamentTin Works OrnamentsPaper and Lace Snowflake Ornament

Being the classy lady that I am, I’m a fan of all things toilet rolls. In all seriousness, though, I’m thoroughly charmed by this Toilet Roll Yule Log Ornament. You’ve got toilet rolls constantly making their way to the trash can, so why not give them a little play during Christmas? DIY ornaments are a great way to recycle during the holidays.

These Tin Work Ornaments involve a different media than our DIY ornaments above. Learn how to make ornaments out of aluminum or tin cans that look store-bought. These are beautiful and can easily be Christmas crafts for kids too.

If you have old music sheets around your house, you can use them for this Paper and Lace Snowflake Ornament. I love the way this snowy ornament looks against pine needles. Keep it in mind as you prepare for Christmas.

Recycled DIY Christmas Gifts

Recycled CrayonsSteniled-T-Shirt-Sleeve-Pouches-BlogUpcycled Wine Vase

Something that snatches the Christmas spirit from me is when I hit the stores in search of a child’s gift. I’ll pick up some terrifying doll with a giant head balancing on a 2-inch body and realize it costs a small fortune. It’s awful, it’s overpriced, and yet I buy it. Don’t waste money on impersonal gifts when you can easily make a homemade present that a child will love. These Recycled Crayons from An Everyday Story are affordable and easy. You can make a bunch of crazy crayon shapes as a pack or simply use them as stocking stuffers. They’re so cool! I might make them as an early Christmas present to myself…

You can also check out this easy sewing project while considering homemade Christmas gifts. Stenciled T-Shirt Sleeve Pouches are the definition of handmade Christmas gifts. They’re super cute and useful too.

This Upcycled Wine Vase is a great DIY Christmas present for friends who are fans of vino. The wine bottle shape is beautiful and can add a stunning decorative element to any home decor.

Keep these ideas in mind as Earth Day approaches. Remember, too, that these are just the tip of the iceberg as far as recycled Christmas crafts go. Our site is full of tons of Christmas crafts for you to explore and enjoy.

When do you start Christmas crafting?
