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.
