Christmas Arts and Crafts

Christmas Boxes

Small Christmas trinkets
Paper Mache Boxes
Craft blade
Ribbon

Make some little Christmas boxes for gifts, hanging on the tree or for placing potpourri in.

Decorate your boxes with ribbons and flat back ornaments, in this project we used plastic angels.

You can also cut away some of the lid of a box and using glue, secure a small piece of lace over the hole. Then fill the box with potpourri.
