Christmas crafts 2019

Incorporating hobbies, computer games, Verm's Interesting Links and anything else you can think of excluding football and other spectator sports because these belong in the Sport section, but allowing sports you play yourself with your own body as that counts as a pastime.

That gorilla is utterly amazing! Where did you get the pattern?

I love that paper Emma! I'd like to do that next year, but I think I might need to start stamping it in August!

I downloaded the pattern from etsy (£6ish) and then printed it onto card.

I love the wrapping paper, Emma! Really simple yet beautiful.

I like the animals too. Very effective and pleasing.

W & I made crackers! I did buy the proper cardboard nets for them, but they were too skinny to fit any of the gifts into! So we went back to wrapping paper. And accessorised with mini toadstools I've had on the craft cupboard for yonks

Not the best photo but I managed to finish these wee stockings before the big day. The kids usually have big fancy JL ones, but they get in the way of the fireplace. Their named wooden stars from the old ones are too big so I'll need to sort something else out for next year.

Not the greatest picture. My mum made me these reusable gift bags and totes out of an Indian throw I've had in the loft for years.

Thank you. I've been eyeing up a few myself now!

I'm so impressed with all the gift wrap and bags. I tried to use paper tape this year, but it just wouldn't stick, so I'll need to invest in some proper paper packing tape for next year.

This page are all wonderful! What perfect fabric Beatrix :love:.

The reusable gift bags are great, I wonder if I could do the same, I’ve got masses of scrap fabric.

Those stockings are so cute.

Smal I love your crackers, we used to have mini toadstools on our tree when I was a child, that has given me a big nostalgia pang. What did you put inside them?
