Christmas Tutorials Start Here - Chris's Patchwork Decorations. OK, can you believe four months today Christmas Day will be over? We started a Christmas countdown at this time last year, so throughout the year I have been collecting ideas (and discarding them, too!) Ready for the fray. In fact I have even prepared my very own Christmas list... more of which later, however Christmas is also about presents and to that end, I have two bow makers which I am going to give away to two lucky winners who post on this post by Friday 29 August 2012. So no more shilly shallying, let's get cracking, you will need: Paper, pencil, protractor (go on you know you can borrow it from your children's new school set... just to see if it works), a ruler and paper scissorsChristmas fabric scrapsPins, needle, thread, dressmaking scissors, small sharp scissorsFish knifeRibbon or hairy stringIron and ironing boardWizard little bowmaker (I will be giving away two, Merry Christmas!)
Stuffing - kapok, polyester fillingButtons for decoration (optional) Repeat for the other side. Stash crafted wrapping paper snowman ornament. Isn’t it funny how kids latch onto different things? Last month, Burke was all about pumpkins. Right now, he is enamored with snowmen. He finds all the snowmen ornaments on every Christmas tree he sees, loves it when snowmen are part of Christmas cards, just can’t get enough snowmen. So my wrapping paper ornament is, of course, a snow man (you could do it with any symmetrical shape, though… even a symmetrical monogram like A or M). To make a wrapping paper snowman ornament, you’ll need: -wrapping paper -a symmetrical shape (I used circles and a symmetrical hat) -glue -ribbon -a way to cut out your symmetrical shape (the obvious choice being scissors, but if you have punches or access to a diecut machine that you can use for this, it’ll make it easier) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
And that wraps up our stash crafted handmade holiday gift guide, y’all. All Free Christmas Crafts- Free Christmas Crafts for DIY Decorations, Gifts and More. Scrapbook Paper Wreath Tutorial. My friend and I got together the other day to make a fun summer time wreath...completely out of paper. Even the wreath ring is made of paper. The whole thing only costed a mere $3 to make!
What you will need: -12 sheets of 12x12 scrapbook paper -4 paper plates (or one or two really thick ones) -hot glue -something to that will cut a circle out (looks like a protractor) -10" string 1. 2. 3 .Tie your string around the wreath ring. 3. You may want to mark where the paper goes. 4. That's all there is to it! I don't have any wall decor in my lil' boy's play area, so this bright wreath adds lots of cheer to the dungeon area! Handmade Holidays: Scrap Wood Snowmen. Do you woodwork? Chances are you have a box of leftover odds and ends of wood that can be turned into something cute for the holidays. My husband has a huge box of wood pieces that he throws leftovers into after he’s done making a project. These pieces can range from tiny little scraps to half a two by four. But for some reason he had a bunch of pieces that were all about the same size left over from making something and we came up with these cute little snowmen.We used three pieces of wood with two being between two and three inches long and about an inch and a half wide and maybe a quarter to a half inch thick.
Then we used pieces of Popsicle craft sticks for the brim of the hats on some snowmen, others he cut little slivers of scrap wood to use as the brims. On the outer corner of each of the taller snowmen you’ll want to drill a small hole so you can run string, ribbon, or wire through to hang them. Paint the snowmen before putting them together.

Scrapbook paper tree ornament.
I have been looking for an easy ornament for my kids to make to carry on one of my annual Christmas traditions and I found this idea on the BHG website. I thought it was cute and looked extremely easy ...plus there is no paint or glitter involved so I am happy :) Materials needed: Scrapbook paper (I used thick paper that had a cotton like texture to it with glitter accents..got it at the Dollar Store) Thin wire Glue Beads (optional) Method: Cut three pieces of wire (approximately 10 inches each) and bend the top of each wire into a loop.
I used a dab of hot glue to attach the 3 wires together and then wrapped a small piece of paper around the glue to hide it. Draw three circles of gradually increasing size on the back of the scrapbook paper. Cut the circles out leaving approximately 1/2 an inch outside the circle and then carefully rip the paper along the line to give a rough edge. Cut from the side of the circle to the middle. Wrap the paper into a cone and glue the edge down. Enjoy. How About Orange. Here's a look at our upstairs guest bathroom. Last night I covered an accent wall with removable wallpaper. I love it! This bathroom has a peculiar layout. You walk in past the shower stall on the right, and when you hit the sink, you turn right to get to the toilet.
Which is under a lovely arch at the end of a passage that is almost long enough to feel like a hallway. The paint color in there doesn't bother me (hard to capture in photos under electric lights) but that wall under the arch was begging for something interesting. The kind folks at Walls Need Love sent the product to review. Like the Sunburst wallpaper I designed last year, this paper is essentially a giant self-adhesive wall decal, and it's easily to peel off and reposition. I measured the wall and cut a length of paper that would leave a little extra overhang at the bottom. I cut another piece to place next to the first panel, overlapping the seam by a quarter inch to match the pattern.
Southern Fairy Designs. So today I went to market with my things for the very first time! Never really sold my items by anything more than word of mouth and via facebook... so this was a very big step for me! The market was run by Clairabella a shop in High Wycombe that sells goods made by local crafters, that once a month has a market for sellers to get together and sell their new things. First score of the day... I only booked a half table, to be on the safe side as it's first attempt... but when we arrived the lady I was sharing a table with had cancelled... so I got the other half of the table as well for free :) So here's my set up at a glance... Check out the snazzy sign I had made in the graphics shop at work... and the catalogue on the bottom right that my friend made for me the other night to display my custom order larger items..
Loving the 2 jewellery trees I had to display everything on... And here's me looking cheerful at my stall (even though at that point I hadn't sold anything lol)...
