{5+5 Fridays} Great Christmas Crafts for a Group

A week or so ago, my fathers wife asked me if I had any ideas for her ladies group to make for their yearly Christmas crafting session.  They had already done wreaths, logs, and swags, and wanted something new this year.  Oh Jean, you have come to the right person.  Or should I say, the right person who can access Pinterest?  Hmm...  Either way, here are my ideas for her:

#1: A Styrofoam Christmas tree

Button Christmas Tree / Yarn Christmas Tree / Paper loop Christmas Tree (or use ribbon!)

#2: A Christmas Countdown

 

Wooden Block Countdown / Framed Countdown

#3 Joy Sign

Burlap & Canvas Sign / Candlestick Joy Sign

#4 Candy Jars Made from Terracotta Pots

  

Kiss-mas Candy Jar / Santa Candy Jar

#5 Christmas Card Holder

 

Clothespin Hoop Card Holder / Fleece and Ribbon Card Holder

#6: Wooden Block Christmas Trees

White Paint Tree / Scrapbook Paper Tree

#7: Ornaments (for tree or gift embellishments)

 

Cookie Cutter Ornaments / Copper Wire Ornaments

#8: Apothecary Jars

 

Distressed Apothecary Jars / Joy Apothecary Jars

#9: Wood Snowmen

 

Snowman Family / Stacked Snowmen

#10: Christmas Topiaries

  

Light Bulb Topiary / Peppermint Topiary / Ruffled Felt Topiary

What about you?  Do you spend an evening with the girls creating Christmas crafts?  This year, my girlfriends and I are going to make wreaths together - which is my ultimate favorite thing to make, so I am excited!  I'd love to hear what your group of friends make, so leave me a li'l note, would ya? :)
