If you enjoyed making the Egg Carton Poinsettia Ornaments, you'll love these other Christmas craft ideas that are just as fun and eco-friendly!

1. Toilet Roll Snowflakes:

Save up empty toilet paper rolls to create beautiful snowflake ornaments. Cut the rolls into thin slices, then glue them together in a snowflake pattern. Add a touch of white paint and glitter to give them a frosty look. These ornaments are simple to make and will add a festive touch to your Christmas tree.

2. Pine Cone Reindeer:

Go for a nature walk and gather some pine cones to make adorable reindeer ornaments. Use googly eyes, red pom-poms for the nose, and brown pipe cleaners for the antlers to bring your pine cones to life. These cute decorations are perfect for spreading holiday cheer and can also be given as gifts to friends and family.

3. Paper Plate Santa Claus:

Turn plain white paper plates into jolly Santa Claus ornaments. Paint the plate red for Santa's suit, add a cotton ball for his beard, and use black and gold paper for his belt and boots. Finish it off with a mini Santa hat and a string for hanging. This craft is easy to make and will look adorable hanging on your Christmas tree.
