The Christmas season sets the mood for making a multiplicity of artistic crafts and fancy decors. It is good bonding activity for the whole family.
With paper crafting, you not only fashion fine-looking and inspiring ornaments for the home and tree, but you can create lovely gifts for family, colleagues, and friends. Many Christmas paper crafts projects can be completed in a fast and graceful way. You do not even need a pattern to make them as you can put your own design and creativity with every craft. What's more, paper crafts are inexpensive and your creativity is boundless.
Here is a couple of simple yet stylish Christmas paper craft ideas that you and your kids can work together:
Christmas Gift Bags
Christmas gift bags are very appropriate for presents with irregular shapes. They are difficult to wrap because they don't take the shape of a box. These bags are inexpensive to make. You just need papers and some strings or ribbons.
Christmas Snowflake Bookmarker
Almost everyone take pleasure in reading a nice book. A bookmark with your personal touch can make for a lovely gift.
You will need the following materials:
• Construction paper (white or any preferred color)

• Paper punches in small and big sized snowflake shapes
• Hole puncher plus eyelet
• Transparent self-adhesive contact foil
• Ruler

Directions:
• First, thump small and big sized snowflake designs out of the construction paper.

• Stick the snowflakes onto the pasteboard or cardstock using the glue stick.
• Cut a couple of pieces of the contact foil bigger than the bookmark. Stick them on the bookmarks' every side.

• Put a hole in the bookmark's top and place in an eyelet.
• Fix a cording through the bookmark's punched hole.
