Christmas candy isn't exactly a craft but may be a good seller. My mother used to make a white fudge with pecans and chopped bits of green and red cherries mixed in. Nice large pieces individually wrapped in Christmas print plastic wrap could sell easily for a dollar each. Or a cute little dollar store basket with 5-6 pieces arranged inside would bring 5.00 dollars. Regular chocolate fudge would sell well too. I have a recipe for a very simple fudge.If you would like either of these recipes,email me. Those little candy molds with Christmas themes that can be made into lollipops would make such lovely stocking stuffers and package tie-ons.

Pompoms made using sparkly wool are great to hang on the tree!
I recently bought some pretty gift tags at a local craft fair that had been made just by cutting out sections of old Christmas cards, punching a little hole at the top and threading with sparkly yarn.
When I was a child we used to collect little logs, holly leaves, mosses, dried grasses, berries, seeds etc etc and using adhesive and gold and silver paints would create Christmas table centrepieces. The only materials, apart from the adhesive and paints, that we used that weren't free were scraps of sparkly ribbons and cotton wool for snow.
Messy but fun! Only thing is, of course, you would need to ensure that those who are to collect the materials understand about the toxicity of e.g. berries plus the use of paints and adhesives would have to be supervised.

There are lots of great ideas, but don't limit yourself to exclusively Christmas items. Soaps, bath salts, and ornaments are always a hit at sales. Family Fun magazine has lots of simple yet cute ideas on their website that are appropriate for the younger set.
Good luck!

Cards are easy and inexpensive to make. You can use images from old cards, buttons, ribbons, broken jewelry parts, material, just about anything you can find around the house. The cards sell well, too, because the girls made them.

Christmas orienments or fire starts (pinecones with red or green wax on the bottom with a wick). Very quick and cheap to make : )
