Christmas crafts 2019

[Kleio]

I’ve been painting and varnishing these as a gift for Betty. I drew it out and got a local woodperson to knock it up for me then I’ve done the Galaxy style paint job and repeated it on some storage boxes from The Works.

It’s going to be a wardrobe and storage for her larger dolls. I’m also hoping to make some outfits for it and I need to do clothes hangers and little bits like that.

Storage boxes for doll jewellery and accessories.

I've made (painted up) these as gifts, for a set of brothers, and our new step niece.

Smal and Kleio those are gorgeous, I wish I had one crumb of your talent .

I am sick of doing stuff I don’t feel like doing, so I sacked it all off and made Nigella’s Christmas pudding bonbons which were very soothing to make, satisfying to look at and taste a lot better than I expected. So yay.

[smalex]

They're really cute!

[Ella77]

Those look good!

I've made a squirrel for The Bf's mum (they remind her of his sister/her daughter)

It was about 5 or 6 hours of work ugh.

[baargain]

It's very seasonal

[smalex]

Wow! What is it made from? Its really hard to guess

[baargain]

12 sheets of card! I bought a pattern off of etsy, ordered the card, printed the pattern on to the card and then did a lot of cutting and sticking.

I need to tidy some of the glue splatters, and make it some acorns.

[smalex]

That's so impressive. It's so neat

[baargain]

Once I was on a roll, it wasn't too tricky! I'm going to make mumbaa a gorilla, and quite fancy a stag's head for my wall.

[Squirrel]

Obviously I approve of the squirrel .

The wreath I made yesterday. I'm not sure about the hessian wrapping.

[Rhodonite]

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.

[smalex]

We didn't either until we changed the door. I used to hang it from a nail in the wall next to the door. I do really like have the knocker to hang it from now though.

[Cerise]

We’ve made a version of emma’s snowmen! We are very not crafty so this is quite an achievement

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

[Kleio]

Smal, I love your painted letters. What a lovely gift they’ll make.

I know this isn’t craft as such but I’m gonna bing this here anyway as I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

[Cerise]

I do not know how she doesn’t get a headache!
