Christmas in July is a thing! Lots of people have parties during July to set the Christmas celebrations in warmer climate!
Some go all out with parties, Santa Claus, food and gifts! It's typically celebrated on July 12th, however some celebrate on July 25th.
It's a fun way to make Christmas themed items and have them ready for the rush of the holiday season.
This takes away some of the stress of the holidays and gives a jump start that you will love at the end of the year.
Here's 25 fun craft ideas that will get you well prepared for Christmas!
Sit outdoors or on the beach and paint in the warm sunshine. These tags will be perfect to stick on gifts during the holiday rush.
Make a darling tote bag to fill with gifts for a teacher, friend or a present for under the tree.
This is a great craft for the Summer time. Using tools in the woodshop is so much better when it's not cold. This project is perfect for an outdoor display or a Christmas story production.
Make these darling tags to wrap up the holidays before you get too busy to make your gifts cute!
Gathered Tree Skirt
Sew up a new tree skirt to adorn the base of the Christmas tree. By getting ahead on this during the Summer, it makes it much easier to deck the halls during December!
Make this stunning glittery tray, perfect for serving holiday goodies, during the warm months of the year. Then it's ready to use when it's cold outside!
Making Christmas decorations is the best during July. Get them made and set aside for the holidays...make a few to give them as gifts!
Make a sign for the front porch while its nice and warm...and set it out in minutes after Halloween or Thanksgiving!
Make some fun gift tags for wrapping up gifts during the rush of the holiday season. These can be used as keychains after Christmas!
Make a fun holiday tote bag with iron on vinyl, ready for the holiday season. Use it to pack groceries at the store or fill it with goodies and use as a gift bag.
This is the best time of year to source Christmas items at the local thrift store or yard sale. People will sell them for pennies! I got these stockings for $1 each...but there was a problem with them...check out the details:
Just like the stocking post above...Nativity sets are easy to find at thrift stores and yard sales. Pick up a set or two and spray paint them white to look modern and chic.
Sewing can get very hectic around the holidays...spend a couple hours in July sewing for the Christmas season. This Ralph, from the Christmas Story, inspired bunny suit is a fun one!
Make a simple ornament...or make several. Fill them with mementos and memories of days past.
Make props or Christmas decorations of gold, frankincense and myrrh before the season gets full and much too busy.
Dig through grandma's button jar and find the perfect pieces to make this jeweled tree. Hit thrift stores or yard sales, tis the season!
On one side of the board, a vinyl nativity...on the other side...maybe something patriotic!
Every yard sale and thrift store has way too much Christmas ornaments and no one is buying them this time of year...except, you should!
Make a bunch of Holiday themed shirts, maybe a size bigger, and stash them away for the Winter season. Hoodies are cheap during the summertime!
Find the perfect fleece scarf during the off season at yard sales or thrift stores...perfect for hanging on the front door during Winter.
Make a vinyl sign on paper...maybe make a sign for every holiday and season...just leave them stacked inside the frame and rotate them each month or so!
Now is a great time to make wall signs for Christmas. Pick another holiday for the other side of the wood, then you'll hit 2 holidays with one board!
Woodshop projects are so much nicer to do when your fingers aren't freezing! Ask dad or grandpa to cut some shapes out of pine for you to paint--or the kids to paint!
Get a jump on the holidays by making your seasonal cards today! Buy some paper and envelopes...you'll be so glad you did in December!
