Gorgeous window art, our Christmas traditions of making our own version of stained glass, we used these cute little polka dot confetti dots from a party shop but have also seen them at hot dollar bargain stores too. We make a similar version each year when school finishes up, that in between time of going crazy waiting for that big bearded man to arrive!!! You can use ripped up or cut up tissue paper too……😝🎅🏼❤️💚 window art with the kite paper used to make Waldorf stars, you can use crepe paper, coloured celephane, tissue paper as well. We found the little paper characters from @riotartandcraft and cut them up. Last year we used paper plates and painted them black for contrast 🌈🌈🌈🎄🎄🎄 #paperplate #paperplatecrafts #christmassy #christmas #christmascraft #processart #xmas #xmascraft #craftychristmas #crafty #windowart

An experiment that turned into these, haha,….. Our cookie cutters filled with Hama ikea beads, this one was an epic fail🤪🤪🤪…. they are “meant” to just come out after melting them in the oven but they didn’t so we thought…. why not leave them as they are!!! They still look pretty and bright!!! Definitely a yearly Christmas craft activity to keep the kids busy before Santa arrives!! 💚🎅🏼❤️💚❤️ #craftmas #christmassy #processart #christmas #christmascraft #craftychristmas #beads #beading #kidscrafts

This was fun, a gorgeous plain wooden Merry Christmas sign from @kmartaus Australia…. ofcourse we rainbowed it up!!! Using @micador fluro watercolours are the best!!!!! 😁😁😁💖💜💙💚💛🧡❤ #rainbow #rainbowcraft #craftmas #papercraft #merrychristmas #xmas #learning #kidslearning #creative #creativekids

Our pretty stars! These are basic MDF from @spotlightstores and we painted them white and layered each colour, our tip, add 1 colour, wait to dry, add the next and so on! Stop paints from going murky yucky colours. Then, added white posca marks over the top when finished!! We used global paints from @riotartandcraft 💗❤🧡💛💚💙💜💖 #star #xmas #christmas #treedecorations #starcraft #childrenscraft #xmas #christmas #christmascraft #craftmas #poscamarker #posca #tree

Our gorgeous paper tree!!! 🌿🎄🎄🎄❤️💚Magical family craft days leading up to Christmas soaking up the afternoon sunshine in the back art studio!!!! The middle stages of Christmas tree polka dot sticker decorating, we rolled out a big sheet of brown craft paper and similar to ikea paper. Draw on a tree with anything!
