Angels are always enjoyable, holidays or not. Here's an easy project to create a lovely little angel: http://www.kidsdomain.com/craft/angel.ht... . She'd be cute to sit on a tree branch or resting on a dresser.
How about some "faux" stained glass? Always a classic, and would be cute hanging in the kids windows. Here's the link: http://www.kidsdomain.com/craft/sglass.h... . (And remember, these can be made for non-holiday times as well!)
Make a beautiful, sparkly wreath for your door. Use freshly cut pine branches and wire them into a wreath shape. Wrap with a short string of battery-operated Christmas lights. Then attach your damaged and broken glass ornaments to the wreath, concealing the damage. Attach a bow, if desired and hang on your front door with a brass wreath hanger.
Wrap the columns or rails on your front porch with metallic paper twist. I like to use red and wrap them like candy canes.
Jazz up a classic poinsettia plant by adding a few pieces of the metallic star garland that have been twisted around a pencil. ALso add a few picks that have little wrapped presents or any little bit of sparkle. Use the same ideas for decorating a wreath!
Have the little ones join in the fun! Have them string pony beads or wooden beads onto a long length of curling ribbon (or some other cord). Tie a sturdy knot in the cord and string on the tree, a wreath or elsewhere.
Start saving the lids from those frozen juice cans! You can create a pin or a decoration. Wash and glue a pinback or a hanging ribbon onto the can, using a heavy-duty glue such as E6000 or Goop. Decorate the front with felt, berries, trinkets, or any other festive items you can find.
