Homemade decorations by kids ideas

[AngelofTroy]

Every year Micah makes a decoration for each set if grandparents. The first year I bought baubles with space for a photo and put a Christmassy one of him in as he was only a couple of months old. The second year we bought a craft kit and he stuck foam stickers together. Last year he did salt dough shapes with paint and glitter and also some stars made if sticks with Christmas ribbon wound around...

Now I wish I'd saved the ribbon ones as I'm stumped for this year. Any ideas???

String ones. Where you blow up a balloon and dip string in glue and glitter and wrap around. Then remove balloon once dry. We are also doing some with possibly cornstarch I think it is. Same idea as the salt dough. Clay ones?

We made glitter ornaments last year. Like this:

It was messy but a lot of fun and the ornaments were really pretty afterward.

We did salt dough ones but using feet and hand impressions. We did Santa with hands and reindeer with feet (these aren't ours- ours never looked this good lol)
