\"four<\/p>\n

I am so not-an-artist that when my kids recently asked me to draw a dog (a dog!) I couldn\u2019t begin to figure out the shape. The final result looked more like a car. But! For fellow uncrafty parents, here are four holiday crafts that are so simple, they seem pretty impossible to mess up\u2026<\/p>\n

\"four<\/p>\n

My friend Erin Jang<\/a> helped her kids make cut-out portraits<\/a> of their grandparents, in lieu of gift tags. How sweet is that? \u201cThe characters really look like my mom and dad,\u201d she told me. \u201cIt cracks me up.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"four<\/p>\n

Martha Stewart Living featured this photo<\/a> of cookie-cutter photo ornaments \u2014 I couldn\u2019t find the original instructions, but it seems pretty self-explanatory? I like that the photos are in black and white.<\/p>\n

\"four<\/p>\n

Jodi Levine<\/a> \u2014 the genius crafter (remember her week of outfits<\/a>?) \u2014\u00a0makes mini gingerbread houses<\/a> with graham crackers covered in pretzels, cereal, gummy candy, whatever you have in your pantry.<\/p>\n

\"four<\/p>\n

Finally, I was gobsmacked by these gorgeous bows<\/a> tied around candles. This would be fun to do with older kids who know how to tie their shoelaces and therefore a bow \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Thoughts? Any crafts you do with kids or adults over the holidays?<\/p>\n

P.S. Three alternatives to wrapping paper<\/a>, and 10 wonderful holiday rituals<\/a>.<\/p>\n
