A little more about the activity
Give Scrooge a place beside the fire, arrange a Christmas gathering with the Cratchits, or bring the spirits into a moonlit scene. This Victorian Christmas craft collection brings together familiar characters and settings from Dickens’ story for you to arrange on the page.
Start with an illustrated background, then add figures, buildings and smaller details. A lantern beside a doorway or a letter on a desk can help tell your version of the story. Use the Christmas ephemera in your junk journal, build a scrapbook collage, or make a Christmas card with a favorite character. Blank journaling cards and banners leave room for your own handwritten words.
For adults who enjoy detailed paper cutting, Victorian Christmas scenes and crafts inspired by classic stories.
