Mini candles! They've turned out alright really. Gentle orange spice scent.
Also made pomanders yesterday which I haven't done for years. They smell amazing

Wow, those look really great! What did you use to scent / colour them?

Bought scent and dye from the wax supplier. The dye was little beads, the pigment was so intense.

The children were tie dying t shirts (for children in need on Friday) and I’ve loads of dye left over so I’ve had a go on some calico tote bags. If it turns out ok I’ll use those as gift bags for the children.

My husband brought home the ugliest tree ornament the other day. A turquoise shark wearing a santa hat covered in glitter. :woteva:
Oh found it.

That's like the horror I gifted my sister a couple of years ago. Except hers also has a waistcoat and a fishing rod.
I don't know if adapting already terrible decorations counts as Christmas crafts, but it amuses my shallow self. My poor sis gets one every year. Last year I gave her a fox on a trapeze, to which I added a halo and a giant pair of balls with an adjustable part. I wish I could upload photos from my phone to TMT as I've found a hideous snowman for this year, but need inspiration.

I made these for a brace of small boys we need to buy for. I say made- I bought the aprons. So really I just cut out and glued the letters on

And I made this (wired the wooden bits on
). I might do some more and then use them to decorate gifts.

All lovely, smal.
I went to a craft evening last night called “Reusable Christmas”. We made a simple ring wreath, a felted jumper Christmas tree, a tree decoration using twine that we made from fabric strips and mistletoe (which is my favourite).

They are so lovely but I agree the Mistletoe is best.

Those are all so lovely Cerise. I love those aprons too, Smal, such a good idea!
I’ve made a ton of Christmas decorations with the boys for gifts, we’ve made one each year with Tupac so we are carrying on the tradition for both now.
