Just a reminder for those that may not know 'Kirsty's Home Christmas' is on C4 8pm tonight - a series of 3 - the first one was on last night - where she decorates her holiday cottage :rolleyes: with xmas decorations she has made 'herself'.
May have some simple ideas we can use...
This is the C4 link:

Oh, tonight's theme is gifts and yesterdays was decorations. Still, if you missed it last night you can see what she made.I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderfulMarilyn Monroe0 -
I got Elizabeth shaw chocolates on B.O.G.O.F (the round foil ones)
Saw online somewhere someone had made them into tree decorations, sandwiching them between gold card then putting a festive picture on the front and a gold thread loop - so going to make those instead of buying the same old tree chocs.
I made these with the gold chocolate coins and these with the mints and these
The first lot to hang on the tree the 2nd lot I have made some table favours and the 3rd lot to pop into teachers goodie bags0 -
Someone just "tweeted" this link on twitter and I thought they'd be perfect for this thread:

Thinking about giving this one a go... http://familyfun.go.com/christmas/christmas-gifts-cards-decorations/christmas-decorations/christmas-wreaths/red-nosed-wreath-deer-710135/I've spotted this and really would like to have a go at it, I'm wondering how hard it would be to make the pine cone wreath. Any one have any ideas how to do it?
Well we did it, it wasn't so hard.. I got a wire wreath (it was from ikea and had red tinsel stuff on it.. I just took that off) then got some florist wire from my local cheap shop and tied on some pine cones that had been collected last year found them in a carrier in the shed!
Stole a hat from a friend and got some gloves (2 pairs for £1) in primark. two red bows from the 99p shop (only used one)Trying to make a better life.... If you need me you'll find me at the allotment.0 -

Lots of decorative ideas for wrapping presents and making decorations on the Hobbycraft website. You don't always have to use the materials they suggest, for a cheaper option, shop around or use what you have. :money:I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderfulMarilyn Monroe0

Yes you canKirsty did this on her home made home series last year - it should still be on the website if you google it (or I'll have a look when small person has gone to bed for you)
I want to do a set of letters like she did spelling out MERRY CHRISTMAS and decorate in reds, greens and gold glitterOr silver blue and white - I haven't decided yet LOL!
