Christmas crafts and holiday crafts can be whatever you want them to be, but standard crafts and DIYs around this time of year fall into some noticeable patterns. Festive shapes—think holly leaves, evergreen trees, snowmen, wreaths, and ornaments—are common among Christmas crafts. Tinsel and metallic or sparkling elements are also popular, and DIYs for place card holders, gift decorations, tree decor, and centerpieces are everywhere. Thanksgiving crafts have the turkey and cornucopia, Valentine’s Day crafts have the heart, and Christmas crafts have snowflakes and evergreens.
