Christmas is coming...

So, last week ended up a little crazy...flew back from Norway (brrr...it's cold there!), saw my niece perform at the Barbican in her school's 120th anniversary celebrations and my nephew at his school's Christmas show, hence why Friday came and went in a blur.

This week with Christmas just under 2 weeks away I thought it might be worth taking a look at Christmas decorations...some to make yourself whilst others you could make with the kids :)

Efco have brought out some new Papp Art festive shapes this year which I think are great - some are napkin rings whilst others work with their 4cm plastic baubles...

Aren't these cute...just perfect for kids to decorate don't ya think?!


And when these are decorated they can look something like this...


You can fill the baubles with confetti, chocolates or even very small gifts like jewellery - just perfect to make your Christmas tree extra special this year!

Of course you could always make some fir cone choirboys...


or some cotton ball snowmen...


or how about napkin decoupaging Efco's plastic medallions...


or if you enjoy needle felting you could always try your hand at needle felting Efco's polystyrene balls! 


You will find project sheets for these in the Special Occasions section of Projects4Crafters.com.
