Will I make it this Christmas?-last minute with the kids

Alpha Mom has some great wreath ornaments which the kids will enjoy putting together

Sticking with ornaments for the moment these cute little birds are made from felt, as are these unusual balls. For something a little trickier use your playdough cutters as shapes for felt/ gingerbread cookies. Or add a ribbon to make them for the tree.

You could use upcycled felted jumpers (sweaters) or your regular store bought felt. Also try them all using  cardboard or strong paper instead. (glue rather than sew together for the ball)

This idea is adorable! It’s from sycamore stirrings. Any grandparent would love a personalised drawing of themselves that they can hang on the tree year after year. Be careful though, you may earn yourself a yearly request.

So your school holidays are now well and truly full of fun making things and giving things. Please send me photos of anything you have made over the Christmas series. I would love to show them.

Next Friday is the day….so no more “Will I make it this Christmas?” posts…. well at least until next year.

I hope you have enjoyed them and they have inspired you, at least in theory, to try some things.
