**Full Disclosure: The following is part of Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft Stores® Celebrate the Season campaign. I received a Jo-Ann gift card in exchange for this post; however, all opinions are my own.
Every season, I say that time of year is my favorite … so here we go again! Christmas is my favorite time of year! The season brings back a flood of memories and emotions for me. The time spent with my family, my uncle pretending to be Santa Claus, spending hours playing Skip-Bo and all the delicious food!
But there is more; I love all the lights, colors and decorations! There are so many beautiful things to look at. Am I right?
Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores asked if I would make fabulously festive crafts, and who am I to say no?!
I came up with two ridiculously cute crafts for my home! A Christmas Fleece Rag Wreath and a Rudolph Mason Jar Craft! The how-to directions follow.
Christmas Fleece Rag Wreath
You’ll Need:
- Three colors of fleece – I used 1/2 yard of red and green and 1/4 yard of white.
- Wreath frame
- Rotary Cutter
- Self-Healing Mat
- Straight-edge (I used a yard stick.)
How-to:
- Cut the fleece into 1/2 inch by 5 inch strips. (I used a straight-edge and eyeballed it, but 0.5×5 was my goal.)
- Tie the fleece onto the wreath frame.
- Put it on your table or wreath hanger and enjoy!
Rudolph Mason Jar Craft
What You’ll Need:
- Mason Jar(s)
- Spray glue
- Brown glitter
- Brown Fun Foam
- Wiggly eyes
- Red pom-poms
- Hot glue gun & sticks
How To:
- Wash & thoroughly dry the mason jar(s).
- OUTSIDE: Spray a thick layer of glue into the jar, pour the glitter onto the glue and roll it around until the inside of the jar is completely covered.
- Once you are satisfied with the glitter coverage and the glue is dry, replace the mason jar lid.
- Turn the jar over (lid side down). You’ll want the ‘worded’ side of the glass at the back.
- Cut antlers and ears out of your brown fun foam, and hot glue onto the jar. (You can print the templates I used here.)
- Using a hot glue, add two wiggly eyes and a red pom-pom nose to make the face.
- Let dry.
- ENJOY!

Your wreath is gorgeous, but I’m in love with Rudolf! What a fun edition to any Christmas decor.

I made fleece wreath red and green. Even made felt hanging bow. Im really pleased with the results. I think i could have cut strips longer but im pleased.
I’d love to see it! Feel free to post a photo to my Facebook page – http://facebook.com/sensiblysara
These are adorable! I love the wreath, though I know that the noise that the fabric makes when doing the knot will bug me. (weird right?) The reindeer on the other hand, I will have to keep in mind! Awesome crafts!!
I made the wreath while the hubs and I watched a movie – so it wasn’t noisy, I didn’t think.
That is way cute!
So cute- especially love the rag wreath!
Those are so utterly cute!
Oh my goodness these are so cute! I love the rag rug wreath! So cool
Those are so cute! How creative!!!
Okay, that wreath is just too darn cute and it’s totally something I could make. I’m no good with needles and sewing projects.
I love it… so cute and it seems easy to make. My door is screaming for a wreath!
The cutting is the most tedious part. After that it took me about 20 minutes!
Awww….your version of Rudolf is adorable! And I love the first photo where Rudolf is sitting inside the wreath. Very cute.
I adore Joann Fabrics! Each Christmas season I’m spending a fair amount there getting supplies for all the great Ideas that I have to make my gifts! This year I did a ruffled tree skirt!
Oh I bet that is CUTE!
Sara – these are so cute! I’m going to make one for my house.
I’m not very crafty, but I’d try Rudolph! 🙂
These are awesome. You make these look so easy to make! I am terrible at crafts but I try. I try.
What great crafts! We were going to make a wreath, and this one looks perfect. Thanks for the ideas – and coupon 🙂
This is simply darling. I love how you paired the mason jar craft and the wreath together.
The Wreath you made is so pretty, and I like the Rudolph in a mason jar. Both of these craft ideas are something that I really want to make. Thanks for the creative inspiration!
Both of these ideas are absolutely adorable! I really want to make that wreath!
I love this wreath. I am printing this and might have my daughter make one this weekend as I have one gift that I still hadn’t decided on.
Both of these crafts are really cute but I especially love that wreath! You could also make a smaller version as a centerpiece for your Christmas dinner table and place a votive candle inside!
Absolutely!
Sara, i really love this. Its so beautiful! You did a great job making it!
OMG! These are super cute and you made it look easy. Thank you!
Cute Ideas for some fun holiday crafts! And, thank you for the coupon!
Hello Sara:
Your Christmas wreath (in felt) is really quite wonderful (!). I am going to attempt to make several for myself and a few to give away next year. Would you mind explaining a bit more exactly how you “tied” the felt strips to the metal frame. Thank you most kindly for any input you may provide. Best regards always, Daisy.
I’m so glad you like them! It’s a single square knot (like the start to shoe tying) – SUPER easy!
Those look so cool! How creative!
Love both of these ideas! You are so crafty!
Soooo cute. I’ve never used spray glue before so I’ll definitely have to buy some!
