Fun and Festive: At-Home Holiday Crafts for All Ages


By Laura Leiva
  • Home


Creating holiday crafts at home is a fun way to bond and get into the festive spirit. Here are some easy-to-make ideas for everyone to enjoy.

  • Sip and Paint: Set up a sip-and-paint night with holiday-themed designs. For an extra cozy vibe, offer hot cocoa (or mulled wine for the adults!). Set out a handful of paints, brushes, and canvas for each guest to create their holiday work of art. 

  • DIY Snowglobes: To make magical snowglobes, use empty jars (baby food jars work great), glitter, water, and a small figurine. Attach the figurine's base to the underside of the lid and fill the jar with water and a pinch of glitter. It's super easy, and they also make lovely homemade gifts!

  • Personalized Ornaments: Decorate clear ornaments with paint, glitter, or tiny keepsakes. It’s an easy way to add a personal touch to the tree. 

  • Gingerbread House Decorating: Buy a kit or make your own gingerbread houses for a delicious and fun crafting experience. Add candies for extra color, and don’t forget to add a little competition by hosting a contest for the best-designed house!

  • Holiday Baking: Make cookies or festive treats together, then decorate them with colorful icing and sprinkles.
    Wrap-up: 


You can do so many activities with friends and family from the comfort of your home! Enjoy these festive crafts to make this holiday season one to remember.
