Red is supposed to represent the blood of Christ, usually through the use of holly berries. Other Christmas red you might see is Apple Red as apples were an early decorating item for Christmas trees. St. Nicholas, a Bishop who lived in the 4th century in Turkey who wore a red coat when he gave out gifts to children. Through many centuries St. Nicholas became Santa Claus, who also wears a red coat!
Whatever your Christmas pallet, enjoy these wonderful red Christmas crafts. The bright, vivid color makes you feel Merry and Bright!

In the comments below, tell me your Christmas colors. I'd love to know how you chose them to be your colors!
I usually go with traditional red and green when I'm decorating. I once hosted a winter wonderland Christmas party and used blue and white. It was beautiful as well.
ReplyDeleteRed just happens to be my favorite color. Starting with that wreath on my front door would be perfect and make me happy everytime I see it hanging.
ReplyDeleteThese are such pretty crafts. I've always been a fan of red. My daughter loves crafts, so I'll have to show her these. Our Christmas colors are usually the basic green and red! Sometimes we add white!
ReplyDeleteI love the red crafts ensemble, especially the JOY sign. I use a lot of lime green in my Christmas decorations, but really, any decoration is beautiful when it's for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that we are close enough to Christmas that we are even talking about this stuff. I love doing Christmas crafts so it would be fun to have a color theme this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this list. I see many crafts that I need to try. My boys love the color red. This would fit in perfectly with our other Christmas decor.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the red theme for Christmas too. All of those crafts are adorable. I think the kids and I could make the Santa Claus ornaments easily too.
