Christmas in July Christmas Crafts Challenge

Join the Christmas in July Christmas Crafts Challenge! All month long we are making crafts that are perfect for homemade Christmas gifts.

Having a handmade Christmas always sounds like a lovely idea until you get to December and you haven’t made anything. That’s why I’m declaring Christmas in July the month of Christmas crafts.

Each day we will set aside sometime to work on crafts for homemade Christmas gifts or holiday decor. That way we will get a great jump start on Christmas and have some relaxing fun while we are at it.

My plan is to work on this challenge in the evenings. I will likely combine it with a Hallmark Christmas in July movie and a cup of hot chocolate (or frozen hot chocolate).

Christmas in July – Month of Christmas Crafts

This month we are challenging ourselves to craft everyday to make gifts and decor for Christmas. While there are enough projects on this list that you could make one thing a day some may take you more than one day. Pick the ones that work for you.

I’ve included some craft kits which are a great way to try new types of crafts without having to buy all of the supplies. You’ll also find some crafts geared more to kids so they can get involved as well. If you want even more Christmas crafts for kids I’ve got you covered!

Printable Christmas in July Crafting Calendar

One key to making sure to get the crafts done is staying organized. That’s why I created a free July calendar that you can use to track which crafts you want to do and when.

I also made a Christmas crafts list printable you can use to have a running list of Christmas crafts and also a place to write down the supplies you will need.

These printables will make it much easier to stay on track and the best part is they are free. They also would work perfectly with my Ultimate Christmas Planner if you want to add them to the planner.

To get your free printables just fill out the form below and check your email. It can take a few minutes to show up, be sure to also check your spam filter, just in case.
