What? Thanksgiving isn't even here and we're already talking about Christmas Crafts? Ok, you've got me. I'm jumping the gun with this super neat folded Christmas star ornament. But, I had to share because this week we'll be launching our new STEAM KIDS Christmas books. Woot woot! I'll be sharing more about those books later on this week. Today I'm giving you a sneak peak of one of cool projects included. These 3D paper stars are super fun to color in and such a neat way to craft this holiday season!

Two Ways to Make Paper People Chains
With the start of the school year, my son and I've been talking a lot friendships- what it takes to make and be a friend. I guess all that talk about friendships must have seeped into my crafting too, because I found myself with the great urge to cut out some paper people chains. Inspired by this wikiHow post I cut out and doodled some kid paper chains. Yup. Today's post is going old-school with 2 fun paper people chain designs.

Easy DIY Marbled Clay Covered Pens
Ever swoon while you're walking through stationary stores? I looove pretty pens and paper. But I don't always like the price tag that's associated with them. Since we've been doing tons of clay projects lately, my son and I tried our hand at making clay covered pens.
I'll be honest. I wasn't too hopeful about the results. Plastic pens in ovens? Urmm... I worried that they would catch on fire... or melt. But it didn't happen! We turned a couple of el-cheapo-freebie pens into some fancy-shmancy marbled ones. Ooh la la! Aren't they gorgeous?

Clay Portrait Pendant Necklaces
My son started elementary school this week. *Sob* It's been such a happy, bittersweet couple of days. Recently we've been creating a lot of little trinkets with clay. (Have you seen our clay outer space necklace and clay dream catcher?) So I asked him to make some clay portrait pendant necklaces with me before school started. This way I can wear them and remember him while he's away.

Bet you read the title and thought... what? Rainbow snowflakes? Well, I had a tough time figuring what to name this rainbow craft. Is it a snowflake craft? Is it considered kirigami? I'm not sure. All I know is that it's a cute and fun paper cutting craft for rainbow-loving kids to try out.

Mini Painted Sponge Christmas Trees
Can you believe that it's already mid November? Time sure flies by quickly! Even though it's not yet Thanksgiving, my son's already asked me to put up the Christmas tree and make Christmas Crafts.
Well, we still haven't put up the tree, but we have been crafting more together at night. Recently, we turned a bunch of old makeup sponges into mini Christmas trees. I know, they're not as beautiful as the real thing... but for now, they'll do!

Make Sand Dough Sculptures and Ornaments
Whenever we go to the beach and build with sand, I always feel slightly sad knowing that our creations will eventually wash away. Do you ever feel that way too? I recently found this great book at the library Kids' Crazy Concoctions (affiliate link) that shared a recipe for making homemade gluten free sand dough! Yup. You just need 3 ingredients to whip up a batch of this stuff. Then, once you're done making your creations, wait over night and they'll dry nice and hard. Isn't it cool? You can make your very own long-lasting sand dough sculptures and ornaments!

Lego Snowflakes
Do you enjoy cutting snowflakes from paper? Do you like Lego? Then I've got a treat for you! Combining both, I recently figured out how to cut out Lego snowflakes!
Hubby and I both grew up loving Lego toys. Chuck loves his cars and train Duplo sets. And every year I find myself cutting all sorts of paper snowflakes to decorate our windows. So this year, I was inspired by this neat Batman snowflake design to create two cute and easy-to- cut Lego Snowflakes.
