Three Christmas Craft Sets to Get You into the Festive Spirit
Christmas crafts are the perfect way to get into the festive spirit. Whether you’re looking for half-term activities to keep kids entertained, or simply want to refresh your existing decorations on a budget, making your own Christmas decorations is a simple, affordable way to celebrate Christmas. At Poundland, we’ve made festive crafting easier than ever, with a range of Christmas craft sets which include everything you’ll need to get started. Stuck for Christmas crafting ideas? Look no further. Welcome to Santa’s workshop…
How to Make Christmas Magical on a Budget?
It can be difficult to make Christmas a magical time of year for kids – everyone’s super busy, trying to watch their spending, and invariably suffering from a nasty cold. A Christmas craft set provides a great solution to at least two of these seasonal concerns: you can wipe away the hours quite merrily from home, in the warm, without breaking the bank – and be left with a jolly cute festive decoration, to boot. A favourite of Team Poundland? Make your own reindeer food by mixing birdseed, and oats with dried cranberries, ahead of Christmas Eve. Leave out with a couple of carrots to keep Rudolph happy – just don’t forget to take a bite before you go to bed!
Three Fun Christmas Crafts for All the Family
For the DIY-averse amongst you, don’t worry. Getting crafty this Christmas needn’t be taxing. We’ve chosen our three favourite Christmas craft sets, all under £5, which even the Grinch himself couldn’t fail to enjoy. Make the season extra fun and magical with our top picks, below.
1) Colour Your Own Christmas Mug
Christmas and hot chocolate go hand in hand, so what could be better than crafting your very own Christmas mug? If you’re searching for the best way to make an indulgent hot choc, check our latest guide. So, whether you’re partial to a heavily caffeinated drink, or prefer something laced with Irish Cream, a personalised mug for the season makes every hot beverage feel like a lovely little treat.
Our Christmas Craft Colour Your Own Mug comes with two inserts, which you can swap out when you like. Simply colour in the inserts with our Pepco Felt Pens, which come in 18 different shades - so your crockery can become as multichromatic as you like. The perfect mug for Christmas Eve cocoa, why not include this cute activity in a Christmas Eve box? We can’t promise you won’t be up at the crack of dawn on the 25th, but we can promise you’ll have the cutest mug in the house for the first of the day’s (many) coffees.
2) Get Creative with a Christmas Stocking
It goes without saying that Christmas stockings are an absolute must-have for the festive period. Why not give your kids the opportunity to design their own stocking this year, with one of our Colour Your Own Canvas Stockings? As they’re made from durable canvas, they can be used for years to come – making them a sentimental décor piece for parents, and something to tease teens with, a few years down the line! Choose from Santa, Snowman and Elf designs. Better yet, buy one for the whole family, and let the kids loose…
3) Capture the Festive Spirit with a Christmas Canvas Craft Set
For parents in need of a couple of hours of respite from Christmas-crazed little ones, try our Christmas Canvas Sets for a creative way to entertain kids over the festive break. With festive scenes ranging from a very merry Santa Claus and a gingerbread house, to a cute Christmas tree and a snow globe, each miniature canvas comes with a set of markers, ready for children to colour in however they like. Encourage your kids’ artistic tendencies by placing their Christmassy canvases on the fireplace, for the whole family to enjoy.
