Christmas Crafts
Come on, get creative!
No excuses, there is no need for a sewing machine in this book. All hand sewn and easily made by yourself and the kids.
Great ideas, all made with fabric and card, little bags, fabric angels, and great goodies for your tree. Great ideas to fill in the hours once the kids finish school and to keep yourself busy over the holidays.
Another great book to keep you busy over the holidays.
A range of ideas for Christmas, from cooking sweet goodies to making decorations and decorating your parcels….
Have Fun!

Homemade Crafts for the Holidays
Click here to visit Etsy, an awesome craft site
With the holidays approaching, how about challenging yourself to get crafty. As you know in the library, craft and homemade are our middle names, so we are hoping it may rub off…..
How about jazzing up old t-shirts with the kids (no sewing machine needed) , homemade felt cupcakes, dolls, bags and can you remember making rats tails with leftover balls of wool from mums cupboard, 4 nails and a wooden cotton reel?
Your kids will love you for it. Give it a go!
