Christmas crafts 2019

It's nuts. I've no idea how you do that! Does it come out looking as good?!

[Kleio]

I don’t think she’d care about a headache, she was ready to bounce out of bed at 5 this morning I had to stop her.

Normally they stay in, this has loads of hair glue and pomade so should be sturdy but I reckon it will slip a little (or a lot).

Did you draw your noses with a normal orange felt tip?

We used a glitter rollerball pen which bleeds less. The eyes were sharpie so that would probably work too.

[Squirrel]

That’s incredible! How long did it take? I can barely get my daughter’s hair into a ponytail

[Hobbes]

That’s amazing Kleio!

Is there a link to the origami Christmas trees mentioned a couple of pages back? I’ve searched but I can’t find the same ones?

There’s very little Christmas crafts older kids want to do, but they love a bit of origami!

This is the one I used.

Thanks. I will have a rummage and see what I can find.

Ah fab, thank you!

[Squirrel]

Actually I’m sure a felt tip would be fine, I’m probably over thinking it.

That squirrel is amazing, Baa! Do post a picture of the other animals you make, I'd love to see them.

The wreath is brilliant, smal. I always fancy making a wreath for our door, but I have nothing to hang it from.

I use a Command hook stuck upside down on the inside of the door and then loop a long piece of strong string over the top of the door. It's pretty effective.

Thank you. I'll need to give that a try.

Kleio that is amazing! She looks so pleased with it too!

I crocheted some candy canes. I haven't done any crochet since J was a baby (5 years ago) so you'll have to excuse the wonky-ness!

[Kleio]

Thanks for the link! I’ve been wanting to make those trees too.

That’s incredible! How long did it take? I can barely get my daughter’s hair into a ponytail

About 75 minutes from brushing to the final spritz.

I love seeing Betty’s amazing hair creations every year!

I've done my cake - it looks shite, so I have covered it in glitter. The actual cake tastes great

[smalex]

What do you mean?! It looks great. Really really neat icing.

[Cerise]

That looks good!

I made a snowman. I’m not sure about the ribbon for a scarf but it’s recycled from last year’s crackers!

[bramblerose]

The photo hides a multitude of lumps and bumps and my stars are a bit wonky but thank you

The cake looks magic! I need to do mine.

I’m going to share my wreath again here. It still smells fabulous and I love it more every time I come home.

I made a gorilla
