11 Angel Craft Ideas That Will Warm Your Heart

October 24, 2014 by FaveCrafts

Even if you aren’t religious, you Christmas just isn’t complete without a few angels. You’ve seen them atop a Christmas tree or lining a mantel,  but there are also a ton of non-traditional angel craft ideas. From tampons (yes, tampons) to Barbie dolls, you can use so many unexpected supplies to create a Christmas angel. Crocheters, there are plenty of patterns for you, too!

Pick one of these angel craft projects and start your countdown to Christmas. It’s never too early to start decorating for the holidays and these sweet and simple projects will put you in the jolliest of moods.

 

Super Easy Angel Craft Projects

Unique Tampon Angel – Okay, this project is a little controversial. Yes, you do use a tampon and it is displayed on a Christmas tree. Would you make one? Leave a comment and tell us why or why not – we want to hear from you!

Wire Ribbon and Pearl Angel – This project is deceptively easy and looks really sophisticated. You only need a few supplies to get started, making this ideal for frugal crafters. I would definitely hang this on my tree – the delicate and unique look make it a true standout.

Itty Bitty Angel – How ridiculous cute is this little angel? I love the addition of synthetic doll hair – it makes the angel come to life! If you plan to give this away as a gift, model your angel after the recipient and personalize the face. Glasses, moles and other distinctive features will take this project to the next level.

Doily Angel – If you plan to throw a holiday party or festive gathering, make sure your table is perfectly decorated. You only need one paper doily per angel, so you can create a bunch in a short time. Plus, paper doilies are super cheap, so you won’t break the bank when you work on this project.

Little Angel – Crochet beginners will love working on this adorable angel. In just a few minutes, you can crochet both the wings and body. The stitches aren’t intricate and the pieces aren’t huge, so you don’t have to worry about messing up. Use this as an excuse to test your crochet skills and see what you can accomplish.

Extra Glamorous Angel Tree Topper – Who knew a Barbie could be a Christmas crafting MVP? This is the ultimate recycle craft – you’re repurposing an empty plastic bottle, toilet paper roll and yes, a Barbie to create a one-of-a-kind angel. This is a standout craft you won’t soon forget.

 

Our Favorite Angel Crafts to Make

angel-dogPuppy Angel Christmas Ornament – Immortalize your four-legged friend with this delightful polymer clay ornament. The tiny halo and sparkly eyes are will help your ornament stand out on the tree. If you’re new to the world of clay, this is the perfect project for you.

Cinnamon Angel Garland – Rustic, country-themed crafts are always popular, but this one is especially meaningful. The cinnamon sticks and bay leaves used to string the garland and decorate the angels will make your home smell positively delicious. The subdued colors and small features make this an ideal craft if you just want a tiny touch of holiday flair.

Clay Angel Ornament – Grab that polymer clay – it’s time to get to work! I love the heart motif used throughout this adorable Christmas craft project. This may look like a complicated project, but it’s actually pretty easy to complete.

Ruffled Angel Statue -Use fleece or felt to complete this genius angel craft. Simply wrap your ruffles around a Styrofoam cone for a textured look. If you’re looking for a creative tabletopper or mantel display piece, be sure to work on this project.

Angel Ornament Pattern – Use this as a coaster, wall hanging or tabletop display – it’s that versatile. I love the traditional look of this design and the basic stitches used to complete the piece. Best of all, this is a true one skein pattern, making it ideal for waiting room and long car trips (as long as you’re not driving, of course).

How to do Elf on the Shelf

Once you make your elf on the shelf, you’ll need some ideas for what to do with it! In case you aren’t already in the know, an elf on a shelf is a magical little guy who travels to and from the North Pole during the Christmas season. According to elfontheshelf.com, there are two simple rules kids must know for having an elf: the elf cannot be touched, and the elf does not move if anyone in the house is awake.  During the night, the elf travels back to Santa to report on how naughty or nice the kids have been, and when he returns, he usually sits in a different spot!

As a parent, you don’t need to just move around the elf at night and leave it at that. Instead, your elf could get into some mischief! Here are some fun ideas from Pinterest to get inspired with your elf on the shelf:

  1. Elf on a Shelf Snow Angel
  2. Elf on a Shelf caught calling Santa
  3. Elf on a Shelf crafts
  4. Elf on a Shelf leaves a message with Scrabble pieces

August 25, 2013 by AllFreeChristmasCrafts

Homemade Christmas Ornaments: 17 Insanely Cute CraftsChristmas ornaments are some of the most popular Christmas craft ideas, and why wouldn’t they be? After all, they’re small projects that are easily integrated into anyone’s Christmas decorating, year after year. You can make homemade Christmas ornaments super simply and super quickly, like this Pom Pom Ball Ornament. You’re able to take a little longer to make your ornaments with any of these nifty crochet ornaments. If you’re feeling ambitious and you have a lot of time on your hands, try a Somerset Star Ornament or a Cross Stitched Victorian Cone Ornament. Whatever the age, skill level, or the amount of time you have, you can definitely find an ornament craft suited to your tastes.

I have a personal preference for anything that’s insanely cute. Baby animals? Yes. Precious smiley faces? Absolutely. Anything in miniature? You bet. That’s why I’ve put together a collection of Insanely Cute Homemade Christmas Ornaments! Organized by the different Christmas icons, this collection is a comprehensive grouping of utterly adorable ornaments from across the Christmas spectrum.

 

Homemade Christmas Ornaments: 17 Insanely Cute Crafts

 

Santa CraftsSanta Baby Crochet Christmas Ornament

You have never seen Santa look better than this. You can make an adorable Santa’s Belly Bell Ornament, or crochet Santa’s face instead. My colleague laughingly likened this “Santa Baby” Crochet Christmas Ornament to Doc Brown from Back to the Future, and who’s more precious than Doc Brown? Well, maybe a few other people, but I digress.

Snowman Crafts

Snowmen are a classic icon for the Christmas holiday, and with a little bit of maneuvering, you can make a snowman craft that’s totally cute. Grab jars, fabric, pom poms and more in order to make any or all of these cute crafts.

Dollar Store Vintage Vignette Ornament

Food Crafts

Any craft that’s shaped like food is automatically adorable. These ornaments look good enough to eat, but they’re only for hanging!

Reindeer Crafts

Santa can’t get anywhere without his reindeer, and these reindeer will melt your heart. Most of these crafts are super inexpensive. Who knew such cuteness could emerge from recycled materials or dollar store purchases like this Vintage Vignette Ornament?

Holy Crafts

Holy crafts are the perfect way to remind us of the reason for the season, and these adorable ornaments are the perfect holy crafts!

Cute CraftsCute Smiling Mittens Ornament

For all of those adorable crafts that didn’t quite have a home, this group of cute crafts will be sure to bring a smile to your face. I love the little soldier ornaments, and who could resist the small smiles on those happy lights? These Cute Smiling Mittens are also super precious. I don’t know how anyone could see these cute crafts without the desire to make them. I know I have plans for all of my ornament gift-giving already. . . . 🙂

Get Decorating with Christmas Burlap Projects!

August 13, 2013 by AllFreeChristmasCrafts

Burlap and Lace Tree SkirtI am generally not a huge fan of color. I love black and white, gray, and recently taupe, but I’ve never been big on bright pinks or highlighter yellows or pastels. While I totally cherish Christmas and holiday decorating, I also love the idea of decorating with neutrals. My lack of a love of color is probably why I absolutely adore burlap in all of my Christmas crafting!

Shabby chic crafts are becoming more and more popular with each passing day, and one of the best ways to achieve a rustic look is with burlap. These 21 Christmas craft ideas are a fabulous way to get started with your burlap decorating. Even if you like color a little more than me (and you probably do), you can always use colored burlap instead. 😉

 Handmade Christmas Decorations

 Burlap Stocking

If you are totally crazy about burlap and you just want to cover your house in it, then boy are you in for a treat. Be sure to check out any of these DIY stockings, like the Burlap Bag Stocking or the Lots of Spots Stockings. Maybe you’ve finished decorating your mantel quite a while ago and you want some embellishments for your tree. Try one of many homemade garland ideas, like the Burlap Christmas Garland or the Burlap and Tulle Garlands. If that isn’t enough, we have burlap Christmas wreaths, table setting ideas, pillows, miniature trees, and more! Burlap projects abound here at AllFreeChristmasCrafts, so give them a try today!

Maybe you want to take rustic to a new level and make the Rustic Burlap Jar Ornament instead. If you’re not feeling quite so wild or rustic, make the Sweet Burlap Heart Ornament.

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.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Earth Day: Bottle and Jar Christmas Crafts

April 15, 2013 by AllFreeChristmasCrafts

Listen up, crafters! Earth Week is fast approaching, and that means it’s time to be mindful of waste. A lot of you out there are brilliant at using up your supplies dutifully. However, there are still more ways you can use would-be trash. Some of what you think is junk can be used to create awesome Christmas crafts. By the time Christmas rolls around, though, you may not have  any of the supplies needed to make these awesome bottle and jar crafts. Start saving your bottles and jars now so you can practice green Christmas crafting and celebrate Earth Day. These bottle and jar craft ideas will truly ignite your Christmas spirit.

Wine and Dine with Bottle Crafts

Faux Lighted Wine BottleUpcycled Wine VaseHemingway is quoted as saying, “My only regret in life is that I did not drink more wine.” Keep this in mind so that you won’t regret not making more wine bottle crafts. Imagine Christmas crafting through life without trying your hand at this Faux Lighted Wine Bottle. A Christmas without this dynamite bottle craft is pretty lame. If you don’t want to get that technical, you can still recycle wine bottles and make great Christmas decorations out them. This Upcycled Wine Vase is a perfect example. During that holiday party use this DIY vase as a decorative element and conversation piece.

Recyled Champagne Cork BearBottle Cap Picture TreeDon’t forget about those corks and bottle caps. Among other things, Christmas spirits produce corks and bottle caps that usually get tossed. Instead of filling up your trash can with corks, make this Recycled Champagne Cork Bear. You can make this out of 100% recycled materials. I’m also wild about this Bottle Cap Picture Tree. It combines unconventional elements with the classic Christmas Tree.

Merry Mason Jar Crafts We Love You Jar

Mason Jar Pin CushionsOf course, we can’t ignore the tireless trend of mason jar crafts that’s cleaning out recycling bins everywhere. I love these crafts! You can get as simple as this We Love You Jar or go a step further and make something more complicated. These Mason Jar Pin Cushions from Stolen Moments are an example of how creative you can get with mason jars, and how functional they can be. Mason Jar Lanterns

While perusing the internet, I also came across Intimate Weddings which had these awesome Mason Jar Lanterns posted. These DIY mason jar lanterns, though designed with weddings in mind, could easily become a key component to your homemade Christmas decorations. Just hang them up away from the little ones…

Holiday Lantern OrnamentsSimilarly, our site features this Holiday Lantern Ornament. Can you believe how festive this homemade Christmas decoration looks? The light against the pine needles is truly enchanting.

Beautiful Sparkling Snow GlobeAnd of course, one of my personal favorite Christmas mason jar crafts: the snow globe. I love this Beautiful Sparkling Snow Globe. It’s so simple but brings so much joy in the way it recalls Christmases of yore. These Christmas bottle and jar crafts are just the tip of the iceberg. Find out how else you can make recycled Christmas crafts by checking out our site. Earth Day is just around the corner, and what better way to honor our planet than with the fervor of the Christmas spirit?

Are you going to make recycled Christmas crafts this year?
