Holiday Hang-Ups

Create decorations with cool cuts for any festive occasion. Or use these clever Crayola Cutter designs to add flair to a gift package!

1. On colorful construction paper, use your Crayola Cutter to cut out holiday shapes. Follow the package directions for using it. You could make decorations for birthday parties, Chanukah, St. Patrick’s Day, Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, or Halloween, for example.

2. Decorate your shapes by cutting out interesting details and inside sections—it’s so easy with the Cutter! You can also cut other colors of paper, foil, and patterned papers to glue on top with Crayola Glue Sticks. Or attach them underneath the cut-outs to show through the holes. Add peel-off dots to separate layers of cut-outs for extra dimension.

3. Embellish your designs with Crayola Crayons, Twistables® Colored Pencils, and/or Fine Line Markers.

4. Cut a hole near the top of each ornament. Tie yarn in a loop to hang or use ribbon to attach to a package.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.

Katrina B., after-school child care provider.

Some holidays have been celebrated for a very long time. New Year’s Day was first celebrated in 2000 BCE in Babylonia. St. Valentine’s Day began in Rome in the 5th century, St. Patrick’s Day originated in Ireland in 493, and April Fool’s Day started in France in 1564!
