A Crafty Christmas message from Becky and Marilyn
Sadly, we can’t meet together this year for a Family Crafting Afternoon but that doesn’t mean that we can’t have fun at home making things for Christmas!
​
Here are some ideas for Christmas cards and decorations that aren’t too difficult to make. For most of them you will only need paper, card, glue, paints or felt tips, toilet rolls, ribbon and other bits and pieces you might already have around the house. You could re-create them just as they are or use them as inspiration and introduce your own ideas!
​
If you do decide to have a go at some Christmas crafting, we would love to see your creations! Send pictures of them to us and we will upload them onto this page for everybody to enjoy.
​
Just click on the links below for some great ideas for cards and decorations that you can make

Happy Christmas crafting!

Thanks to Helen for these two lovely Christmas decorations. What a great way to recycle old magazines!
