Christmas is just days away… and the season of gift-giving is in full swing. Yes, you might have bought other fun stuff to decorate your home but there are still other things you and your kids can do to make this season more festive. Here I list some great holiday craft ideas from the net.

3D Paper Reindeer
Idea from Easy Peasy and Fun
Help Santa Claus deliver his presents and add more reindeers to the pack! And if you got some extra, don’t let them graze on your Christmas tree.
Reindeer Christmas Card
Idea from Easy Peasy and Fun
A Christmas gift isn’t complete without a card. This card will add a personal touch to your message… that “Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas!” Just make sure that your reindeer’s nose is red!
Christmas Pop-up Card
Idea from Red Ted Art
I really love this kind of craft. I mean – who’s not gonna fall in love when you open a card and a cute Christmas tree pops up? Why not put some small baubles in your pop up card?
Origami Winter House
Idea from Krokotak
Ohh, this brings back good memories of my mom’s much-prized winter houses with LEDs. Actually, when I saw this one I wanted to make my small winter village!
Paper Snowflakes
Idea from Etsy.com
Don’t wait for Beijing snow to happen when your kids can turn your house into a winter wonderland! Use the paper scraps from the previous projects.
Popsicle Christmas Trees
Idea from One Little Project
If a Christmas tree at the corner of your house isn’t enough to put your baby in a holiday mood, why not make little ones and add them to your baby’s mobile?
Mason Jar Centerpiece
Idea from Homesteading.com
This is an ingenious way to make use of the jars and other big bottles you’ve collected after weeks of holiday shopping for edible stuff!
