Welcome back to my series, 25 Days of Easy Christmas Crafts for Children. I am honored that Money Saving Mom sent me so many subscribers! I’m looking forward to getting to know you all and hope that you enjoy some of the projects and ideas that I have to offer. When I offer up craft ideas, you’ll find that they are usually both easy and frugal. Easy, because I have little time (being the busy mom of 6 children, one of them a 5 month old baby!) and frugal, because I find it rewarding to spend as little as possible on whatever it is that I’m crafting. I won’t even go into the fact that we do not have an endless amount of money sitting around here! Who does, right?!

If you’ve been around recently here on Sidetracked Sarah, you’ll know that I’m offering one craft a day during the Christmas season so that you can take it one day at a time. If you prefer to see them all in advance and plan ahead, I offered my free e-book to subscribers. I’ve had an overwhelming response to this offer and I thank you all so much!

Now on to today’s craft!

Day 7

Christmas Trees

Supplies:

Popsicle Sticks

Paper (white so they can color and decorate it)

Glue

Markers

Scissors

Directions:

Lay out the popsicle sticks in a triangle on top of a piece of paper to form a Christmas tree shape
Glue them down to the piece of paper
After the glue is dry, trim around the popsicle sticks. You could also cut a small trunk out around one of the edges, so you don’t have to glue it on later.
Color green and decorate like a Christmas tree with your markers
If you didn’t leave a trunk when you were cutting, cut one out, color it brown and glue it on to the bottom.

This is one of those crafts that is so easy but it turns out so cute! We first made these sort of by accident several years ago when my oldest 2 children were 2 and 5. They are now 11 and 14 and we still have them! They love getting them out and admiring them, remembering when we did that years ago.

So, tell me, have you been crafting with your children this Christmas season? What is their favorite craft?

Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much. I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals. This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week. So grateful!

Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans. They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me! The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking. I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year. My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer. Thank you so much

This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children. I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home. I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day. I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it! Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well! So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table. Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
