Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
First, I gather all my equipment! I lay out the white craft foam sheets, blue glitter, clear plastic ornaments, and all the other supplies on my crafting table. It looks like a winter wonderland already!
Step 2: Create Snowflakes
Using my snowflake punch, I start punching out beautiful snowflakes from the cardstock and felt. I choose various colors such as white, silver, and light blue to match the winter theme. Each punch creates a unique and delicate snowflake!
Step 3: Decorate Ornaments
Next, I take the clear plastic ornaments and fill them with a little faux snow and some of that gorgeous blue glitter. I shake them to mix everything up and create a delightful winter scene inside each one.
Step 4: Add Fairy Lights
Now, the magic happens! I carefully open the battery-operated fairy lights and start wrapping them around the ornaments and around my crafting area. The soft glow adds a cozy and enchanting ambiance!
Step 5: Create Glitter Glue Snowflakes
Using the glitter glue, I carefully draw more snowflakes on my foam sheets. This adds some sparkle and dimension to the decorations. The kids will love the shimmering effect once they dry!
Step 6: Assemble the Decoration Kit
I gather all these wonderful creations together: the decorated ornaments, glittery snowflakes, cotton balls to mimic snow, and small pinecones I found during a walk. These will make the perfect decoration kit!
Step 7: Wrap with Ribbon
To finish, I take the Christmas ribbon in white and silver and burlap ribbon to create beautiful bows to tie around my decoration kit. The contrasting textures look fantastic together!
Step 8: Scent It Up
Finally, I add a few drops of scented oil, either pine or peppermint, onto cotton balls and place them in the kit. This will give it a delightful wintery aroma that makes everything feel even more festive!
Step 9: Final Touches
Before calling it a day, I clean up the area and admire my winter-themed decoration kit. It’s a fun way to get into the spirit of the season, and I'm excited to share it!
