Easy to Make Christmas decorations

Wow how quickly this weekend has gone, i have been busy making Christmas decorations for our tree.  I love traditional style Christmas trees.  My plan is to have a handmade red and wooden decorated Christmas tree this year.

All the decorations were so easy and so much fun to make.


Stuffed Christmas pudding: made of felt, sequinnes, wadding and jute.   


Gingham felt and Heart hangers:  Using felt, gingham, sequins, beads and jute


Wooden Dotty Hearts: I used some wooden hearts from my stash - 
painted them red with white dots, gingham ribbon sequins and jute.


Gingerbread men: used these from my stash, painted them brown with white stitches, square of hessian, jute and red button.  I made these last year but slightly different.


Santa Balls: I used glitter baubles, silver card and black ribbon.


Reindeer thumbprint baubles: Luke and Chloe's thumbprints were turned into reindeers.


Five Finger Snowman: The childrens prints were made into snowmen.  For the full tutorial.

Whilst I had my sewing kit out I made some door hangers using Cath Kidston fabric I had left left over from previous projects.







This is a little door hanger i made for Chloe's bedroom using Disney Princess material I had bought and I was not sure what to do with.  I am awaiting Luke's Lightning Mcqueen material to arrive, so I can make him one too.


I have a feeling there will be lots more Christmas goodies that the kids and I will be making, so keep popping over and see what we have been up to.

DIY Milk Paint Recipe

After the outstanding results I received with the DIY CHALK PAINT , if you read my sideboard , rocking chair or toy chest posts, you will have seen the amazing results that the chalk paint made. So this time  i thought i would test out a milk paint recipe What you need: 4 parts milk powder 1 part bicarbonate of soda 1 part pigment 6 parts cold water Patience  The method is pretty simply. All you need to do is mix the milk, bicarbonate of soda and pigment powders together then add the water and stir well. Leave the paint to sit for 1 hour then stir again and paint. (I know, i know you probably will want to get painting you project, but if you can wait – you will get better outcomes - try watching an episode of  Once Upon a Time... oh lord, my sister and i are addicted) The milk paint dries quickly so once you’ve started using it and be careful not go back over areas, as you can wipe the paint back off. Even though it is touch dry in about 15 mins, if you’re p
