12 Days of Christmas
On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me... A bunch of vinyl and a house that was kid free. We hope you will get plenty of time to craft this Christmas and maybe you can make some or all of these great ideas and give 12 days of vinyl gifts to one of your closest friends! Enjoy these ideas, make them as they are or use them for inspiration. Regardless we are so glad you found them and we can share our creativity with you.
12 Days of Christmas Crafts For Adults & Kids
Share
It really is a shame that the Christmas season is limited to a month or two out of the year, isn't it? Make the most of the holiday cheer with Christmas vinyl crafts perfect for both the novice and experienced adult crafter. Grab a cup of cocoa and let's dig in!
Day #1: Christmas Tree Candy Countdown
This Fun Christmas Tree Candy Countdown is a perfect project to keep your kids entertained. By adding magnets to the back of some metal wedding favor tins, some Oracal 651 vinyl numbers with this fun free cut file, and some fun assorted candies, you have a fun fridge decoration!
Once the Countdown begins you will start to see a Christmas Tree slowly form from the Cardstock and Opal Bright Green Vinyl that is inserted in the back of the tins. Make your way to the star for the final day of Christmas. This is a great way to kick off your 12 Days of Christmas craf!

Day #2: Days Till Christmas Countdown Pillow
Day 2 of our 12 Days of Christmas is still a countdown project, but this time we are using our Blackboard Heat Transfer Vinyl paired with some fun Christmas colors of green and gold.
This makes counting down until Christmas a fun living room show piece!

Day #3: Indoor Snowball Fight
This fun Indoor Snowball Fight Kit, which makes for some indoor fun when the family might be stuck inside on those chilly days, brings us to Day 3 of our 12 Days of Christmas. The glitter adhesive vinyl gives that frosty look with Black and White Oracal 631 to complement with its matte finish.
This is sure to be a *hit* at your next Christmas Party!

This frame has so many different kinds of vinyl (and so many possibilities!) that everyone can choose their favorite to add. We love using Oracal 631 with some Siser glitter to add that touch of Christmas magic!
This is an inexpensive project for the whole family to make and try some new techniques.

Day #5: Christmas Eve Pillow Cases
How fun are these Christmas Eve pillow cases for Day 5?! This would be a fun project to do as a family or a fun surprise for the kiddos the night before Christmas.
The use of our EasyWeed Electric Red, Green and Tungsten give a nice shimmer without being glitter.
This is a fun and colorful project your whole family can enjoy!

Day #6: Santa Stops Here/Rudolph Crossing Signs
Get ready to stop Santa for Day 6! Why not make a very noticeable sign telling him to stop at your home, as well as Rudolph? Just take our Reflective Adhesive Vinyl, paired with some LED battery operated lights, and you're sure to light his way! The reflective Vinyl has a slight sheen to it and when hit by light the red, yellow and white on these signs shine so bright he will definitely see you!
This project is great for outdoor and indoor use this holiday season.

Day #7: Santa Belt Banner
Decorate the mantel for Day 7! Another fun project to get ready for Santa is adding a fun banner to your fire place mantel, whether it be real, or made from Vinyl! This FREE cut file has it all placed out for you, using some fun Black and White Glitter HTV along with a Gold Metal HTV to really make that belt buckle pop.
This banner is made using red and black canvas material, faux fur, and jingle bells to give it that extra touch of Christmas.

Day #8: Slime Christmas Ornament
Day 8 of our 12 Days of Christmas brings us to a fun hands-on craft! It's time to put up the tree and, of course, we need lights and ornaments, but check out this fun and different idea.
Slime ornaments are quite different from what you might see during the holidays, but it is a great fidget project (and then when you're done, you have a brand new ornament!).
Simply make some slime (any recipe will do), place it in a plastic ornament, and add a fun decal like this snowflake monogram! These can be fun gifts, stocking stuffers, or just creative family time.
Ornaments are also a great object for learning how to place vinyl on curved surfaces.

Day #9: Hot Cocoa Bar
Get cozy with a hot cocoa bar for Day 9 of our 12 Days of Christmas! You probably have friends and family coming over for parties, so you need a hot chocolate bar to keep them warm and hydrated. This tray makes a fun sign when you add some patterned Paper or some of our Christmas patterns. Vinyl is a perfect media to use to label everything on your Hot Cocoa bar.
Your friends and family are sure to be just as impressed by your vinyl skills as your party-hosting skills!

Day #10: Santa Christmas Tag
A gift tag from Santa for Day 10! There is always that present that is from Santa, so why not make it really show by adding a fun tag that you can use every year? This tag is sure to be noticed using white reflective, black 631, and cute silver or Gold Metalized vinyl for the buckle.
When you take a picture of your tree Christmas morning, you'll be able to see where every present from Santa is hidden! It even looks great on the Silhouette Cameo 4. *hint, hint*

Day #11: Christmas Eve Jammies
We're already at Day 11, which means the countdown is almost over! We need to make jammies to go with our previous pillows we made for Day 5. Pajamas are a popular Christmas Eve tradition, so make some unique shirts for your family with your favorite cut file. This cut file is perfect for the little ones, and it features the soft velvet StripFlock HTV which just makes it all the more cozy.
This is a great idea for Christmas Eve movie nights as well.

Day #12: Santa Cookies and Reindeer Carrots Plate Set
Day 12 is the last day, and along with that is the last thing you do before the big day: put out cookies and milk (and of course carrots for the reindeer). This project is perfect because Santa will definitely know these cookies are for him. This is also very easy to create using a variety of vinyl colors to really make this piece stand out.
This tray is sure to impress Santa, and using Oracal 651 and Opal permanent Vinyl, it can be washed to use over and over.
