Christmas is filled minders of Jesus from the lights to the tree and everything in between. We captured some of the items throughout the Christmas season. Each printable is a reminder of Christ and filled with Bible verses to point to Him. You will find these Christmas coloring pages and printables in our Shop!
The dot markers Christmas is great for early learners or younger children.
Our Coloring book is great for kids of all ages. Both are available in KJV or ESV.
This project can be accomplished with thrift store picture frames, Dollar Tree frames or frames from around your home. You can use the frames and glass or just the glass by itself. We painted our glass with school glue and watercolor paints.
We hung the frameless glass by gluing fun foam inside binder clips and then adding hot glue to the glass. Then hot glue your ribbon to the back to hang you painted stained glass.
Our recommendation would be to keep the glass in the frame! Simply hot glue the glass to the frame and then glue your ribbon to the back to hang it.
We also made smaller ones for Christmas ornaments on the tree! You can find the 3.5 x5 inch frames at Dollar Tree.

The Christmas Art project of branches and ornaments was inspired by a beautiful painting we saw on Pinterest.
Painting can intimidate some people from trying art so we decided to create something with just paper and simple art supplies. Art does not have to be expensive or complicated to create something beautiful.
We began with a piece of scrapbook paper with a wintery feel as our background. This from Hobby Lobby has a grey mottled design that is almost a farmhouse galvanized metal look.
Lightly sketch out the branches of a tree. If you are new to drawing, just draw some loose lines and then double them!
As you go out to the ends of the branches, keep those double lines thinner.
It’s even better if you criss cross your branches!
Draw a few main (thicker) tree branch lines and then add smaller branches off of them.
Once you have your branch lines drawn, Outline and final them in with a black marker.
We used a black Sharpie. Oh we know… it’s permanent and scary! Just go for it!
Color the branches any color you choose!
For dimension, add highlights of a lighter color to the top areas of your branches where “light” would hit. We used a white gel pen.
With that same white gel pen, we drew snowflakes, but we also used these glittery stickers to add more dimension.
The sticker pack comes with various sizes and shapes of snowflakes that you can place anywhere on the page.
Randomly place your snowflake stickers on your paper.
We drew circles on a piece of watercolor paper. You can use card stock too if you like. The circles will become our ornaments that we glue to the scrapbook paper.
Work in odd numbers… 3, 5 etc. The number you use will depend on the size of the background paper and the ornament circles you draw. (Trace a round object like a glass or round bottle.)
The water color paper is thicker and allows you to use watercolors, markers, gel pens, colored pencils or even crayons to create your ornaments designs.
We drew our designs with gel pens and then filled in with gel pens, markers and watercolor paints.
Draw any design with lines and shapes or draw your favorite Christmas theme.
Zentangle, doodle or add words to remind others of the meaning of Christmas!
Once you have finished your ornament designs, cut them out and they are ready to glue to your scrapbook paper.
Place them where you would like to “hang” them from the branches.
Now we need a small ornament cap to the top of the ornament. Gel pens or markers will do fine for this.
Then you can add real string for a 3-D effect or draw beads to the top of your ornament allowing them to hang in the branches.
We used gold, white and silver gel pens to create a beaded string.
Glue your scrapbook paper to a piece of thicker cardboard, foam core board, or to a canvas.
Depending on the size of your artwork, you can cut it to the size of a frame or make a simple wood frame.
We’d love to see your inspired Christmas Art!
