Creative Christmas Crafternoon Project Ideas

Have a festive crafternoon with friends making these creative Christmas project ideas! 

Crafting is always fun, but crafting with friends is even better! At the beginning of December, Team Creative Crafts (myself, Laura of Me and My INKlings, and Beth of Creatively Beth) hosted a Craft-A-Thon and had the best time! It was a full week of hard work, many laughs, and a whole lot of crafty memories. We partnered with ten fabulous companies to share creative Christmas project ideas that will hopefully inspire you to have a holiday "crafternoon" with your own group of friends!

Resin Holiday Earrings

Make a pair of eye-catching holiday earrings using resin!

As you know, resin is one of my favorite materials to craft with. Jewelry is a simple thing to make with resin, and is one of my favorite go-to gift ideas! These holiday earrings are such a statement piece, and are a great beginner project if you are new to resin crafting. I love how these earrings turned out, and am excited to share them as gifts for friends to wear all winter long!
