Christmas Inspiration


Now the fair is over I need some new crafts to get stuck in to and I have already been pinning ideas on Pinterest! 

Above I've selected a few of my favourites that id love to try out and hopefully will! 

Number One - This is quilled paper, it looks beautiful, I have loads of craft paper...I don't know how to do this but I need to! I've made my own Christmas cards for the past four years now and each year they've been different techniques, so I would love to give this a go and send out some cards with quilled designs on. 

Number Two - This is a Snowflake decoration made from beads. I have a large bead selection due to jewellery making and I have fishing wire as Michael is a fisherman lol so all I need is the base metal wire hmmm... I would love to hang some of these beauties at the window =)

Number Three - This one looks expensive however reading further in to it i discovered that it is just Christmas fabric stuck down on foam board! Perfect pictures for the wall on a large scale just foe cChristmas If I find the right fabric and some cheap board i may give this a go!

Number Four - This looks fairly simple yet so effective. I had thought about stringing baubles up at the window and then my mam said "I bet Alfie & Sas (the moggys) would love that!" So after a re-think i think this idea would work great strung off my light fixtures. Our living room is long and has three light fixtures so it would look like bauble rain...awesome!

Number Five - This may be the most trickiest yet it has been made to look easy. Simply cover a foam ring with baubles. This is my 'Project' the one i want to master! We will see how it goes. 

I love any excuse to try some new crafts and it couldn't be more perfect... New house, we have no decorations apart from a passed down tree...lets get making! lol =)
