Crayola Christmas Craft
The Crayola product, gift card, information, and additional gift pack have been provided by Crayola.
Christmas brings such great memories for me of making holiday crafts with my family when I was a kid. I remember making ornaments and my parents proudly displaying them on the tree every year – even the ugly ones! This year, Crayola sent us a gift pack so that I could make some fun memories with my own family. The box included:
- Twistables Slick Stix Crayons
- Model Magic Air-dry Clay
- Colored Pencils
- Washable Markers
- Washable Glitter Glue
-
$25 gift card to Walmart
After purchasing a few more supplies with the gift card, we were all set to get started!
We bought some color tinted ornament bulbs and decided they needed some sprucing up. My son, Micah, took a Crayola Slick Stix crayon and made a snow scene on his bulb. Then he added some white sequins to the inside of his ornament and he was done! This was a great project for someone like Micah who likes to get things done quickly!
Michaela went a slightly different route. With her bulb, she decided to simply put feathers inside her green tinted ornament. Then she added her initial “M” with glitter glue to the outside.
Mikenah wanted to make her red bulb turn into Rudolph. We traced her hands on brown construction paper for the antlers, then glued them onto the ornament. Next we glued wiggly eyes onto the top. Mikenah wanted to jazz up the antlers a little bit, so she added some glitter glue. (*Side note: It would have been much easier to add the glitter glue BEFORE attaching the antlers to the bulb!) We painted a black smile onto the bottom and let everything dry.
Finally, we added some tiny jingle bells to the inside of the ornament & it was done! Here is Mikenah being…well…Mikenah. J
Thanks to Crayola for providing the supplies used in these projects. We had a lot of fun!

I really like the mufti-colored ornament! Thanks for the good photos!
Oh my gosh they really did turn out nice. I like that our kids used to get anew ornament and make a new one each year, so then when they are ready to go it alone, they each have a good start to some for their own tree. Now they are teens and dont want to do much for crafts. but grandkids shur will. Love the feather one. How simple and so fancy!
I like this! I like how they can be personalized. Will have to try this.
I so love the middle one with the yellow/orange swirls/blown glass look. Too cool.
This is a great idea for having some holiday fun with the kids. Your kids are very creative. Their ornaments look wonderful. I’m sure you’l treasure them forever.
I really like having a family ornament each year – my 4 are 13-22 now so they compete to have the prettiest, most creative, etc – I miss the days when they were small and just wanted to have the most colorful, the fuzziest, the funniest 🙂 ( but I’m still glad we do this every year, some day – they will have complete sets of ornaments for their own trees!)
So very cute and those are keepers! I love the way they turned out and how they look. Keep them for the kids they will treasure them into adulthood!
I love the feathers idea! It actually kind of looks like paint …. I need to do this next year with my kids, homemade ornaments are just so much more special then store bought.
Diy ornaments are the best . My girls love doing this. Every year they make different ones for their grandparents.
wow they did a great job on the ornaments.
I like to old “take crayon shavings and put them onto wax paper, fold the paper in half and iron” craft project,…
You never know how it might turn out.
THe ornaments look great! Good way to get the kids to really have personal ornaments and be proud of them
They all turned out so cute. Love that oranment with the feathers. Now that’s a different one. I know the kids here are always wanting to do crafts to keep them busy and of course, crayola we always have many of their products. Kids color daily here as well
CUTE KIDS AND CUTE ORNAMENTS!!
I love these How Cute and Beautiful on the Tree
these are such clever ideas – i especially like the ornament with the feathers! and what a great crayola haul!
These ornaments came out sooo cute – if I was a kid and made these, I’d be so proud, too! It looks like a lot of fun, and not too expensive. Nice!
