Make Miniature Christmas Decorations and Displays

Use Glaze Pens, Glass Paints, or nail polish to decorate metal, glass or filigree beads and turn them into miniature stained glass ornaments.

Here's an easy project. These trees can be made from wired tinsel, ribbon, or beaded trims. Decorated with colored sequins or miniature ornaments they make a great addition to a Christmas village or a modern dolls house.

Fill your Christmas Tree with miniature animals. The needlefelt technique shown here makes a miniature needlefelt raccoon. You can use these instructions to make any other animal, including miniatures of your family pets using this technique. If you are unfamiliar with needle felting, there are two book reviews on this site: Little Felted Animals shows you how to make a number of specific animals and birds and Fleece Dog has instructions for making several specific dog breeds.

Tiny or full size Christmas crackers can be made using gift wrap, tissue or Crepe paper and ribbon. A printable file for making boxes for 1:12 scale crackers is included.
