House with a chimney

Let’s make a real chimney cottage with a milk carton | Christmas Decoration DIY

Let’s try handcrafting a charming house with a chimney using a milk carton.

Older adults can have a great time making it together with their grandchildren! Please use a type of carton that has a spout at the top.

Open the carton and use a utility knife to cut out the windows and door.

It’s fun if you make the door open and close! For the roof, cut another carton to create it.

You can paint it with acrylics or stick on construction paper.

Decorating with stickers, washi tape, or pens will make it look lovely too!

stained-glass-style ornament

[Christmas Craft] Easy with Coloring Pages ♪ Stained-Glass-Style Wall Decoration — Part 2

Beautiful stained glass can make Christmas feel more festive, right? Making real stained glass might seem daunting, but stained-glass-style decorations are easy enough for older adults to try.

Place a sheet of clear cellophane over an outline drawing, such as a Christmas tree, and trace the lines with a thick pen.

Adding stained-glass-like lines around the tree will create a beautiful finish.

Next, flip the cellophane over and color it with markers.

Filling in all the spaces makes it look more vibrant, so it’s recommended.

Finally, crumple a piece of aluminum foil, spread it back out, wrap it around a piece of thick paper, and attach the colored cellophane to it—that’s it! Even a bare wall will instantly feel Christmassy with just this one decoration.
