\nA homemade advent calendar will get everyone talking. Decorate a selection of pretty little jars with coloured tissue paper or glitter glue and number stickers. Hide a treat in each one and stack them on the mantlepiece.<\/p>\n
\nPaper angels are a great craft project for children and adults alike. There are many designs to choose from online, but the simplest only require a paper plate, a pair of scissors, glue, and a hole punch.<\/p>\n
\nSo you have plenty of presents under the tree, but why stop there? Use wide ribbons or shiny fabrics to tie bows around the cushions on your sofa or to bundle piles of towels, making them look like Christmas presents.<\/p>\n
\nCandy canes evoke old-fashioned Christmases, but you can give them a modern twist by creating a candy cane vase. Simply glue the candy canes all around the sides of a clean can, and finish with a red ribbon.<\/p>\n
\nIf you want your Christmas kisses to last all year round, make your own mistletoe. Use a template to cut a mistletoe shape out of felt, then glue on imitation pearls to mimic berries.<\/p>\n
\nIf natural decor is your thing, emulate posh design stores using clean pinecones, twigs, and branches from your garden. Dip them in gold or silver paint or use spray paint and glitter.<\/p>\n
\nFor a sophisticated look, give your artificial Christmas tree a new lease of life by spraying it white all over. Alternatively, you could re-colour your tree to match your other seasonal decor. The only limit is your imagination!<\/p>\n
\nWire wreath frames, for making your own festive wreaths, are widely available. Create a lightshow for your Christmas party – or the whole holiday season – by threading strands of large multi-coloured bulbs through the wire frame.<\/p>\n
\nThis fantastic craft project transforms a plain wreath frame into a colourful, festive decoration. Buy a large bag of ready-made fabric rosettes, or make your own, and glue them to the wreath frame in whatever pattern you like.<\/p>\n
\nTransform clear or semi-transparent baubles by opening them up and filling with clear floor wax and glitter. You can even add tiny toys or spare nail art shapes into the mix. Watch the colours swirl!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
