Materials

  • Colored cardstock or construction paper (red, white, brown, green, yellow, blue)
  • Glitter paper (for accents)
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick or craft glue
  • Black marker or pen for details
  • Small embellishments (sequins, pom-poms, mini bows, or stickers)

Instructions

  • Cut out large block letters (about 5–6 inches tall) from different colors of cardstock to spell “CHRISTMAS.”
  • Assign a theme to each letter - for instance, decorate the “C” like a candy cane, make the “R” a reindeer, and turn the “I” into a snowman.
  • Cut out small paper shapes like hats, scarves, buttons, stars, and belts to match each theme.
  • Add glitter paper for sparkle such as gold for Santa’s belt, green for holly leaves, or white for snowy edges.
  • Use a black marker to outline details like stitching, faces, and clothing patterns.
  • Once decorated, glue the letters onto a large background sheet or string them together with ribbon to hang as a garland.
