Cute Christmas Craft For kids

During Christmas kids become more and more excited about taking part in festival season activities. Share some fun filled time with them and make some Christmas crafts. I found this cute Christmas ornament video.

                 

For this cute ornament you need:

1...Toilet Paper Roll or Wrapping Paper Roll

2.... Scrap of red and yarn

3...Scissor

4...Nine inch long book

Instruction

1... Get red yarn and wrap it around the book lengthwise several times .Take the scissor and cut the wrapped yarn on both sides. You will have a pile of cut yarn. Repeat this with white yarn. Now you have two piles of yarn. One pile of red yarn and another of white yarn.

2 ...Take tube and cut half an inch of it with scissor. Now you have a tube circle.

3 ... Now start attaching yarn to the tube circle. Take one piece of red yarn and fold it in half. Pass the loop through the tube. Pass the two end of the loop through loop and pull it so the loop is on the edge of the tube circle. Repeat the process with alternate colour yarns slipping gently to the next already there. Do it all the way round.

4 ... Now pass the loose end of the loops through the tube on the other side. Make sure you straight them all out.

5 ... Take a strand and tie it in a knot about one inch or one and a half inch above the edge of the tube. Tie it once again. Line the two remaining ends up and tie a knot at the end. It is the hanger for the ornament. Pull it down so it will not get cut accidently. Trim the top with scissor so it resembles the pompom.

6 ... Take a piece of tissue, crinkled up and stuff it at the bottom just to fill the upper part of the hat to keep it shaped.     

                                 

                    Now here is your cute little hat. Happy crafting

The Tradition of Christmas Lights

Christmas is a wonderful time of year when towns and cities light up like stars.

          Christmas decoration is one of the oldest traditions. In ancient time candles were used for decoration. Candles were put under glass cover for safety reason. Metal lantern with small wicks was also used. They were used as ornament on Christmas tree.

Then entered the Wizard of Menlo Park in New Jersey. His name was Thomas Edison. In 1879 he invented and demonstrated incandescent electric lightbulb that bring revolution in Christmas decoration. In 1882, Edison's assistants, Edward Johnson made electric bulbs for Christmas tree and displayed it on his Christmas tree at his home in New York City. It was a big hit.

Ralph Morris, an American telephonist, invented the strings of electric Christmas lights in 1895. In 1970s decorative mini-lights for Christmas tree were introduced. They became immensely popular. Since then they are dominant in Christmas tree decoration.

Electrical candle were introduced and became popular because they were safer than original candles. Battery operated candles gave appealing looks to the area where there aren't electrical outlets.

  Taking the inspiration from Christmas tree lighting, the trend of decorating outside began and became very popular. Icicle lights were introduced to decorate outside. Their icicle shape transformed the outside in winter wonderland. They gave frosted appearance to indoor as well.

      With time, Christmas lights used in new and creative ways. It comes in various shapes as trees or other ornaments to enhance the visual appeal of lawns and streets.

  Now Christmas lights have become a mesmerising feature of the holidays.
