Christmas Craft Ideas - Make a Rustic Christmas Tree Craft

Do you look for Christmas craft ideas every year? Try to rack your brain for some ideas for some Christmas tree crafts, or gifts to make?

This year, why not try making some recycled denim tree ornaments? These can become treasured memories and have a rustic, yet artistic flare to them. They also make great gifts for friends or Grandparents.

This is how you make them:

Find a pair of soft but worn out jeans, and trace two circles on them (the widest part of the leg works best). (using a jar lid or any size you want works)

Sew the circles together with 1/2 inch seam allowance, but leave a small space for stuffing your denim ornament.

Clip the seams every 1/4 inch or less, to make a fringe, with sharp scissors.

Make a few and then wash them and then throw them in the dryer, this will create soft white, fuzzy fringe, for that rustic effect.

Stuff your denim ornament with polyester stuffing or something soft, and then sew the opening shut, with a piece of decorative cord for hanging on the tree.

Now the fun part, decorating.

Depending on the age of your kids, get out the decorating supplies. These can be sparkles, rhinestones, embroidery, fabric paint, quilting.. ANYTHING you want. Denim makes a great canvas. Beading looks really good on here too.

If you get started with these denim ornaments now, then your kids or yourself, will have the time to really let their artistic talents shine, before all the festivities begin. I have seen these completely covered in sparkly beads, and they really shine with any Christmas lights.

You now have a cherished, rustic, piece of art. You can't buy that at the discount store!

Denim is so versatile, especially the faded soft blue jeans. I find these work the best. Hope this inspires you to get creative with some Christmas craft ideas!

turn your hobby into cash and make that extra money you have been looking for! Great home business that can work for you. Article and website by Diane Palmer.
