I used this tutorial to make these heart decorations:
I'd already made a tiny string of them in pink just because, but using this chunky wool and a size 8 hook makes really cute big hearts. I think I'll make a lot of them and string them by the window.
I've also made this 'ho ho ho' bunting.
I used red and white felt and a checked ribbon I found in my stash. I think it's quite cute, I'm going to put it underneath my wreath (when I finally manage to make one - I may just cave and buy this one from Paperchase). I haven't decided what to put on the blank pieces yet - thinking snowflakes on the red, but what on the white? A stocking? I think it should stick to the red and white colour scheme. What do you think?

Aw these are great! Kudos to you for making your own Crimbo decs - they're always the best ones! And if you find a good 'recipe' for a wreath, please pass it on!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to love bunting! Never thought of making some Christmas themed though, nice idea. Really like your ideas for homemade decorations and the like - wish I had the time to be as prolific at crafting as you!
ReplyDeleteOh I've only been this prolific as I was off work all last week! Hoping to keep it up though. Cx
