Directions:

  • First things first – download and print out the TWO free printables listed above. You will want the candy printable printed on white, while the ornament shape should be printed on colored paper.
  • Go ahead and decorate the candy designs however you like with crayons, markers or coloring pencils.
  • When done, trim them out and set them aside.
  • Next cut out the Christmas bulb shape.
  • Cut off a sliver, from the bottom of the ornament, so it lays flatly like a house.
  • Now grab your pipe cleaner and the stapler.
  • Twist and staple the pipe cleaner to the top of the bulb paper piece, just like a hanger on a real ornament.
  • Now for the fun part! Decorate the Christmas bulb shape however you like.
  • Use the peppermint candy pieces for the roof, while you cut out small circular windows, a rectangle chimney and a door for our ornament light bulb shaped house.
  • Using the marker, give each piece some dimension, by drawing on lines for the windows, bricks on the chimney and a knob for the door.
  • Glue down all your newly made small paper pieces to the craft foam ornament shape, in their designated spots.
  • Finally, to finish off the Christmas Light Bulb Fairy House project, take some small holiday stickers and stick them in random places to set the scene.
