Are you looking for a little something different for your tree, maybe you would like to give someone a homemade decoration?  I think these sequin Christmas baubles are so stunning. What you will need: Foam Balls Sequins ( Peacock ball - Turquoise, Royal, Purple and Gold) Acrylic Paint (to cover the white foam) Sequin Pins Directions: Use the pins to fix the sequins to the Styrofoam ball. Continue until all the ball is covered with sequins. Add a hook on the ball. There is no limit to what you can decorate.  If your decorating with the kids, why not try using stars. If you have some spare time, why not plan out a pattern. You could also try using tiny sequins The possibilities are endless, and the only limit is your imagination. I would love to see what you create   Feel free to Visit the  Blog  | Follow on  Pinterest  | Follow on  Facebook  |  Follow on  Twitter  |Follow on  Instagram Subscribe to  Pretty Shabby UK ...

I love nature, and I love being able to bring nature into my crafts especially around Christmas time. So today i am going to show you how to make a super cute and easy way to use Acorn caps to make a Christmas Ornament. Here is what you will need: Acorn caps Burnt Umber craft paint (and brush) 3" Styrofoam ball Jute twine Small piece of floral wire (18 gauge) Narrow ribbon Silver glitter (or your choice of color) Mod Podge Hot glue gun First paint the styrofoam ball with burnt umber, this is just so you don't see the white of the foam. You could find a closer match to the color of the acorns if you want, burnt umber is what I had on hand . Next start pushing the caps into the foam. Hot glue might be necessary for this part. While a lot of them stayed pretty well some of them were a bit too, so i decided to put a little dab of glue in the indention and stick the cap back on. Get the caps as close as you can to each other and work your way all the way around. Do not try to ge...

These small-scale singers are poised to echo their joyous strains this holiday season. Total Time Needed: 1 Hour Materials Acrylic paints Capped acorns Hot glue 2 small twigs Small pinecone, between 1" and 2" tall Glue stick Small piece of photocopied sheet music Coloured construction paper Instructions To make your own tiny choir, first use acrylic paints to create faces on a collection of capped acorns and allow them to dry. Use hot glue to secure each acorn head and 2 twig arms to a small pinecone (ours were between 1 and 2 inches tall). For each songbook, use a glue stick to attach a small piece of photocopied sheet music to a rectangle of coloured construction paper. Give each book a centre crease, and then attach the music to the carollers’ hands with hot glue. If you enjoyed this craft, why not check out the  pinecone topiary tree Photo courtesy of Family Fun

Here is a simple way to make a plain Christmas bauble into something special with round glass pebbles. These pebbles are normally available in small bags at discount or craft stores. The string used to hang the baubles will need to be replaced with fishing line, as the pebbles make the bauble considerably heavier.

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. ...
