If you had fun making the DIY Felt Ball Dreamcatcher Ornament, we have some more festive Christmas craft ideas for you to try out this holiday season!

1. DIY Pom Pom Wreath: Create a beautiful and colorful wreath to hang on your front door or use as a festive centerpiece. Start with a foam wreath base, assorted yarn in your favorite holiday colors, scissors, and a hot glue gun. Simply wrap the yarn around the wreath, securing with hot glue as you go, then add fluffy pom poms in a pattern of your choice for a fun and whimsical touch.

2. Hand-painted Christmas Ornaments: Get creative with some plain glass or wooden ornaments and acrylic paint. Use different colors and brushes to create unique designs like snowflakes, reindeer, or Christmas trees. Add some sparkle with glitter or sequins for an extra festive touch. These personalized ornaments will add a special touch to your tree or make great gifts for friends and family.

3. DIY Fabric Scrap Stockings: If you have leftover fabric scraps from other projects, put them to good use by making charming Christmas stockings. Choose a simple stocking pattern, grab your fabric scraps, scissors, sewing machine (or needle and thread) and any additional embellishments you like. Mix and match fabrics to create a patchwork effect or add some lace or ribbon trim for a vintage feel. Hang these handmade stockings by the fireplace for Santa to fill with goodies on Christmas Eve.
