Christmas crafts

This years Christmas crafts for presents were quite difficult to decide what to do as I was struggling for ideas. There will get to a point where there won't be much left to make! 

I ended up finding a template for a remote control holder shaped like an owl which I thought was cool so attempted to make it. It turned out OK really, the shape of the head part could be a little better but I think it still resembles an owl!
On pinterest I also saw some Christmas decorations made out of scrabble tiles and gave those a go too, not sure how well they turned out or how well they travelled so hopefully they were still in one piece when they were unwrapped!



 The final thing I made this year wasn't a present but for our house. The prevent owners of our house had hooks on the mantle piece, I'm assuming for their stockings at Christmas which look a little untidy if they don't have anything hanging on them so I made a Christmas garland. It was a take on the one Kirsty made in her homemade Christmas programme but instead of hearts I went for bells. I think it turned out OK and looks good hanging from our mantle piece!

Christmas Crafts

Now Christmas is over I can post pictures of the gifts I made this year. My friend and I are now making our Christmas presents to each other because as we have got older you tend to buy everything you want so a homemade gift has more thought and time put into it. Well that's the theory! We've done this for the past two years and so far so good - this year I made her a travel set as she goes to New York every year. A journal, change purse and eye mask with some red white and blue mini bath bombs to go with it.


I also made an eye mask for my other half as I had spare fabric left over from his games rooms pac man cushion to add to the collection!


The final gift I made this cushion:


I am quite pleased with the outcomes - I wonder what I'll make this Christmas?
