Christmas Paper Crafts ~ 18 DIY Inexpensive and Fun Project Ideas

If you've been wondering how to make Christmas decorations at home, starting out with easy paper Christmas decorations is a great way to go. Whether you're looking for easy paper ornaments, cutouts, garlands, wall art, trees, tags and more, you'll love these easy paper Christmas decorations you can keep year after year.

When the kids were young, I spent countless hours on scrapbooking, card making and enjoying other paper crafts. Unfortunately, that's something I've had less time for as they got older, but finding myself with more free time, I have a renewed interest in paper crafting. Easy paper Christmas decorations are an easy, cheap and fantastic way to decorate for Christmas and winter!

Most of these are quick and easy, others are more detailed, time-consuming paper masterpieces! This is a round-up of my absolute favorite easy paper Christmas decorations, but I also wanted to include a handful of more challenging projects if you're ready to tackle those instead.

. For some reason, I started my blog right before the holidays, so this year I might be enjoying Christmas crafts by posting about my favorite project finds instead of making them myself.

Regardless of the color of paper used in this project, you could also put a fun twist on things by using Christmas scrapbook paper instead of something like a solid color. While most of these projects are meant to be Christmas paper crafts for adults, some of these will also work to do with your kids.

I hope you enjoy my round-up of 18 fun and gorgeous Christmas paper craft projects, the creators of these projects are very talented! Enjoy! 🙂
