Love the fall and winter holidays? I certainly do. There is no better time of the year to work on your crafts. It’s getting nippy outside, and indoors you can stay toasty and warm while you work on creating beautiful fall and winter décor projects like these.

You’ll probably start with Thanksgiving crafts like the ones in this big list, but then it will be time for Christmas crafts. And nothing is more fun than making your own tree ornaments!

In fact, I have an exclusive video for you today. In it, I teach you how to make five different types of DIY Christmas tree ornaments. These crafts are easy enough your children can make their own.

You’ll also find that these make perfect gifts for everyone on your list this year!
