One thing I love about the holiday season is how it encourages us to be creative. Whether it’s Christmas treats, decorations or gift ideas, there are so many ways you can flex your creative muscles and make something 100% handmade and 100% you!

The best part is that you can make all kinds of projects with easily available materials – you don’t need to visit a hardware store or a specialized craft shop to get your supplies. You can make Christmas crafts out of Popsicle sticks, paper plates, mason jars and even pasta!

Today we’re going to try something different – we’re going to make some pretty paper quilling crafts for Christmas, so it’s time to get out those quilling strips! You’ll be surprised at how those thin strips of paper can turn into snowmen, reindeer, trees and much more!
