Christmas Craft Supply for Our Dollhouses...

       Last year, I collected many Christmas craft supplies and novelty items during the after Christmas sales. In 2018 I was able to purchase these items for mere pocket change. 
       The availability of craft supply and decorations on clearance vary from year to year in the U.S. Sometimes younger folks beat me to the leftover stash and at other times, I get there before everyone else! I will continue to add new photos to this post as I continue to collect.
       It will be fun to imagine how to incorporate the pictured things below into our future Christmas projects. Perhaps we can temp you to try decorating your own dollhouses with like materials in the near future? 

Christmas tinsel garland in many different colors: red, silver, gold, and hot pink. If you receive a gift with fancy
wrapping take care to remove it so you may include it in future craft projects.
Chenille stems in Christmas colors: red, white, green and in peppermint stripes too!
Colorful Christmas wrapping papers. Choose to keep the ones you like. I recycle wrapping papers from packages
every year to include in our crafts online.
Christmas baubles collected and purchased at after Christmas clearance sales.
Tiny print Christmas novelty prints for sewing projects: candies, holly leaves and berries, snowflakes and pine cones.
Left, Christmas nutcracker craft foam. Center, plastic sequin snowflakes. Right wooden reindeer cut from balsa wood. (See how I used the reindeer here in a gingerbread carousel.)
Glittery fabric bags with ribbon pull-string closures.
Novelty pieces for decorating Christmas crafts: holly/berries and tiny red/green bows.
Christmas themed novelty erasers collected from dollar bins.
