DIY Christmas Crystal Angel

by

This Christmas tutorial shows you how to make a Christmas Tree Angel with a teardrop Crystal. These Angels are adorable all year round and make nice little handmade gifts. They are so easy to make kids can make them too.

What you will need (per angel)

One inch wooden bead

2-3 inch Teardrop crystal

2 plastic or paper leaves

1 plastic or paper flower heads

Paint

Craft Glue

Maker pen

Glitter glue (optional)

 

Start by taking your wooden beads and coloring them into a skin tone. You can skip this step if you want your angel to have a natural finish.

Take the leaves off your flower and add some glitter to the tips of the leaves as shown. Once they are dry you can start to glue your angel together as shown. Finish off your Christmas angel with some eyes drawn on with a marker pen.

Don’t forget to add a loop so you can hang your angel. You can also add some Christmas fragrant oil scent to the wooden bead for a fragranced hangup gift.

Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin Tutorial

This Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin is such a clever little fall craft, and I love that it turns something completely ordinary into rustic farmhouse décor. A simple kitchen strainer suddenly becomes a sweet autumn pumpkin filled with mini pumpkins, acorns, leaves, and seasonal texture.

What makes this project so charming is the mix of materials. The metal mesh strainer gives it that slightly vintage, farmhouse look, while the twine-wrapped handle makes it feel warm and handmade. Add in the burlap leaf and little fall fillers, and it becomes the kind of decoration that would look lovely on a mantel, tiered tray, kitchen shelf, or Thanksgiving table.

This is also a great budget-friendly Dollar Tree craft because you can customize it with whatever fall supplies you already have. Use white pumpkins for a neutral farmhouse style, orange pumpkins for a classic autumn look, or add berries, cinnamon sticks, raffia, ribbon, or fairy lights to make it your own.

I especially like that this project is different from the usual wreath or painted pumpkin craft. It has a cute “repurposed kitchen item” feel, which makes it perfect for anyone who loves upcycled décor and cozy handmade fall projects.
