These Ribbon Candle Hurricanes are easy, homemade Christmas craft ideas that will delight people of all ages. Wrap them up and give them to your friends to enjoy during the holidays, or keep them for yourself. Either way, you'll enjoy the simplicity and beauty of these Christmas craft ideas.

You can purchase glass hurricanes of various sizes and shapes at your local craft or home store. Pick up your favorite ribbon, too -- of the color, size, and design that you like.

Items you need:

-- glass hurricanes

-- ribbon

-- glue

-- scissors

Measure strips of ribbon the height of your hurricanes. Cut and set aside until you have the number of strips you desire. Add more strips to create a dense, colorful effect. Glue the strips in place (vertically) until you get the design you like. Finish off your hurricane with a horizontal ribbon around the perimeter at the top, for a clean and polished look.

Glitter Paint Hurricanes

Use the same glass hurricanes as mentioned above, but this time decorate them with sparkly, glitter paint!

Items you need:

-- hurricanes

-- squeezable glitter paint

Draw designs, swirls, shapes or words on your hurricane with the squeezable glitter paint. Use multiple colors for a festive design or stick with silver and gold to dress up your homemade Christmas craft ideas.

Embellished Hurricanes

Use your favorite scrapbook embellishments to glue or stick onto your hurricanes. For helpful ideas, check out adhesive snowflakes, holiday words, or festive stickers.
