Simple Winter
Decoration Ideas

From kitchen drawers to nature walks: winter craft supplies are often just right around the corner, and you don’t need fancy materials. Bits of string, leftover wrapping paper or old buttons can easily become part of your next crafting project.
For example, this cute, fluffy snowman made of crêpe paper is super simple to make.

You can also mix and match different materials to create your very own winter wonderland look. A bit of glitter here, a paper star there. It’s amazing what a few crafty touches can do.
Hang your creations on windows, shelves, or doors and watch the room turn from plain to magical in no time. Crafting isn’t just fun, it also brings that warm and cosy feeling that everyone loves during the colder months.

What Glue Works For Winter Crafts? ✨

The Pritt Glue Stick is your best buddy for most winter decoration ideas. It sticks reliably to paper, card, and even felt. Fancy a splash of colour? Try the Pritt Colour Stick. Safe for kids and full of fun.
Need something stronger? Go for Pritt Multipurpose Glue. It sticks wood, glass, and even metal. Mix it with a little water, and you’ve got a paste for larger winter art projects like frosty lanterns.

You can make awesome crafts using recycled materials! Cereal boxes, old magazines or leftover packaging can become part of your next DIY winter crafts masterpiece. Add a bit of paint or sparkle and give them a second life!
