We're approaching December, so I'm bringing this thread to your attention. Craftspeople: are you making Christmas decorations this year? Or have you in the past? Pictures would be wonderful!
Thanks. 🎄2 -
I don't have a photo, but I'm using new/unused charity shop tea towels to wrap small (boring!) presents this year. And a couple of bigger items are going in a Tesco Christmas shopping bag - they've got a great selection all under £1I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Competition Time, Site Feedback and Marriage, Relationships and Families boards.

Oooh, if ever there was a thread made for me!
I have a selection of macrame Candy canes, angels, fairies and wreaths.
I also made aprons, personalised crackers, fabric hats for the aforementioned crackers.
I got my son to write "im on the good list", cut it out in vinyl and then put it on a glad baubles that I had coated with glitter.
The archway round the door was made with a few lengths of plastic plumbing pipe and a couple of elbow joints, then covered with lights and green tinsle. then baubles and pinecones.
The greenery around the bannister is again green tinsle, lights, baubles and pinecones.
The wreath with the gonk swing is made with super heavy gauge wire, lots of baubles, a bit of ribbon, an offcut of wood and some twine. Ooh, and more lights. We like lights here, haha!

Wow, there is some amazing craft work there, @freyasmum!
Do you make them just for you and your family, or do you sell at craft fairs? They would sell like hot cakes!
Absolutely beautiful. 😍2025 Fashion on the ration

I love your window and your wreath is so cute!
I generally just make them for us, though I have had people ask me to make them for them. Definitely haven't done any craft fayres.1 -
