Christmas Craft for a Holiday Family Gathering
Celebrate with Crafting Traditions
Gathering with family to create Christmas crafts is a cherished tradition in many countries, dating back to the 18th century. During this time, society women often came together to craft delicate Christmas stars and paper packages filled with treats like sugar almonds.
Blending the Old with the New
Holiday gatherings are a wonderful blend of celebrating the present and reminiscing about the past. These special moments are filled with shared holiday greetings, cherished memories, and dreams for the future. One delightful craft that embodies this spirit is creating holiday photo coasters. These simple yet charming crafts can adorn your holiday table, serve as place card holders, and showcase images from past celebrations.
Crafting Holiday Photo Coasters
Step 1: Gather Your Photos
Start by collecting photos of family members, especially those featuring visits with Santa, Christmas mornings, or kids gathered under the tree. Using these images as part of your Christmas décor bridges the holiday magic for both the young and old. Children enjoy seeing pictures of their parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents as kids, making these moments come alive. Such photographs often spark delightful stories and fond memories from older relatives, enriching the storytelling experience for everyone.
Step 2: Gather Supplies
To create these festive photo coasters, you will need:
- 1/8” Plexiglas sheets cut into 3” squares (two squares per coaster).
- Copies of your selected Christmas photos (keep the originals safe).
- 3/8” foil tape.
- Self-adhesive felt circles.
Creating Your Coasters
1. Clean each Plexiglas square thoroughly and ensure they are dry.
2. Crop your photos to fit the squares, writing names and dates on the back.
3. Position the photo between two Plexiglas squares as desired.
4. Use small binder clips to hold the squares firmly together.
Step 3: Assemble Your Coasters
1. Begin applying the foil tape to the edges of the squares, peeling back the tape slowly as you proceed. Wrap it evenly around both the front and back Plexiglas pieces, removing binder clips as you go.
2. Smooth the tape along the edges and corners, using a wooden spoon handle to eliminate any air bubbles.
3. Once the tape is fully applied, attach four felt circles under each corner of the photograph to protect surfaces.
These holiday coasters not only bring joy and nostalgia to your table but also encourage lively conversations and storytelling. Crafting together strengthens family bonds and creates lasting memories that you can cherish for years to come.
Embrace the holiday spirit with this meaningful and creative activity at your next family gathering!
