Christmas crafts for teens should produce something of their taste. From a Christmas decorative cell phone case, a personalized celebrity Christmas ornament, fashionable holiday apron to cute Christmas bulb earrings and cool Christmas gift tags, teens will enjoy crafting their creations just as much as using them. Here's how to create the above listed Christmas crafts for teens.

Christmas Decorative Cell Phone Case:

Items needed would be one plain cloth cell phone case, fabric glue, a bag of your teen's favorite green and red beads, one sheet of newspaper, 5 toothpicks, and two bowls.

This easy step-by-step guide is simple to follow. Have your teen place the beads into a bowl. Have them place some glue into another bowl. Lay the newspaper down onto a table. Lay the cell phone case down onto the newspaper. Have your teen dip one toothpick into the glue and dab it onto the cell phone case. Have them take another toothpick to pick up a bead by it's hole and place it onto the glue that lays on top of the cell phone case. They should be able to move the bead and guide it so that the holes are not showing from view. They should continue to the next bead and so on. Once the cell phone cover is covered in beads on one side, allow to dry.

After this have the teen proceed to the next side, and again, once that is covered, allow to dry. Make sure that any windows to the cell phone case are not covered in any beads. This way they can see who's calling in. Once your teen has all sides covered in beads and it is completely dried, they have created a wonderful Christmas decorative cell phone case of their own.

Here's a tip, the teen can also spell their name out in a solid bead color to personalize their Christmas cell phone case.

Celebrity Christmas Ornament:

Items needed would be a photo of their favorite celebrity (an action star, or a movie star, it could even be a musician), scissors, one white or solid colored round Christmas ornament, one sheet of newspaper, one bowl, one medium paint brush, standard glue, one package of snowflakes (found at your local craft stores), and one ornament hook.

I love these and it's easier than it sounds. Have your teen cut out their picture in a round or square formation so that it can fit onto the ornament. Lightly glue the picture onto the ornament. Allow to dry. Your teen should place the snowflakes into the bowl. Simply have your teen brush the ornament with glue (over the newspaper) without touching their picture and dip it into
