I don’t know about you but I loved the old school DIY Christmas ornaments and crafts we used to make. No overpriced kit of crap that doesn’t stay together or resemble the picture on the package.

You are left with a whiny kid, sticky hands, and random foam pieces in your hair. That’s a no thanks from me. I’ll stick to construction paper, pipe cleaners, and paint brushes.

If you are saying “SAME!”, you’re going to love these easy old school Christmas crafts and DIY Christmas ornaments to make with your kids!
