Faux Concrete Christmas Light

"No one believes me when I tell them we made this Christmas-themed ring light with cardboard. But once they see how easy it was they all want to make one too. It's a great way to reuse throw-away stuff and turn it into something special for the festive season. The ring light can be used as table decor or hung as a wreath and the step-by-step tutorial will show you how to customize it to suit your decor style."

Celebrate With More Christmas Craft Ideas

If you enjoyed making the Faux Concrete Christmas Light, we have a few more Christmas craft ideas that we think you'll love too!

1. Cardboard Christmas Tree Ornaments: Just like the ring light, these ornaments are made from simple cardboard but can be customized with paint, glitter, and other decorations to fit your holiday style. Cut out different shapes like stars, snowflakes, and Christmas trees, then string them up with ribbon to hang on your tree or around your home.

2. Paper Roll Snowflake Wreath: Save up your paper towel or toilet paper rolls to create a stunning snowflake wreath. Cut the rolls into equal-sized pieces, then bend and glue them together to form intricate snowflake shapes. Paint the wreath in a metallic color for a festive look, and add some faux snow or glitter for an extra touch of holiday magic.

3. Fabric Scrap Advent Calendar: If you have a collection of fabric scraps lying around, why not turn them into a beautiful advent calendar? Cut out small squares of fabric and use a stencil to create numbers 1-24 on each one. Sew the squares onto a large piece of fabric to create pockets, then fill each one with a small treat or trinket. Hang the calendar on your wall and enjoy counting down the days until Christmas!

We hope these craft ideas inspire you to keep creating festive decorations for your home this holiday season!
