vintage baubles

wanted to share with you these gorgeous vintage baubles I bought from e-bay last Christmas, can't wait to get my tree up, not long now....

fifth craft of christmas: felt holly

to accompany the Christmas pudding decorations on the tree we also made these felt holly leaves, so easy, just cut 2 x holly leaf shapes and then one slightly smaller, add wadding and the string loop and then sew all together however you please, the berries are just red felt painted with red glitter nail varnish (I used Barry M). mine is the first darker leaf and Mum’s is the second lighter one. Coming up next for the sixth christmas craft is baking.....

fourth craft of christmas: cake stand winter wonderland

this is so simple and looks so effective, create your very own mini winter wonderland..
