It’s a well-known fact that my Mummy is rubbish at craft. But she also complains frequently about something called “skint,” which I gather has something to do with Christmas and money. I am beginning to fear that it may have an impact on Santa’s finances too, so I have a plan. I have brought home a book from the school library called Christmas Crafts! I thought she would be pleased with the suggestions for homemade Christmas presents, but she looked aghast (I will be using that word a lot this week – it’s my WOW word for school…) and turned her attention to the ironing.
I’m still working on her, and I’m confident of an about-face, but in the meantime, for those of you who would like more ideas for a homemade Christmas, here are some fabulous suggestions for homemade decorations. I’ll keep you posted on progress with my library book!

Oooh the advent baubles look interesting plus now there’s another new craft site to feed my addiction. Thanks.
Surely filling the empty baubles is the easiest to do with my most impressive results…
Oh I am SO going to do the advent baubles, the kids will appreciate them so much more than those cheap tat advent calendars bearing a pic of their favourite popstars and chocolate… NOT! Thanks for the thoughts though

oops sorry, I just realised maybe I wasn’t supposed to make fun of this?! Some of them look fabulously easy, honest! I may even try them myself

Hehe, don’t worry. I always hanker after those lovely traditional glittery advent calendars which I was so excited to open every day, but I’m afraid the “advent” of chocolate appeals more to the kids

Goodness me – I’m not at all craft minded but these look eminently possible!

I know! I’m definitely doing the snow globes – I’ve seen those before and they do look really cool

GREAT ideas here! I’ll definitely be making some of these.

Let me know which one is easiest and I’ll try that one
What fab ideas. I too feel aghast at the thought of doing craft but I think even I could manage some of these ideas. Maybe…

Maybe we should challenge each other. I’ll twist your arm if you twist mine!
