crafty for christmas 2008

Just a heads up-the Sainsburys local to my work now sells Kilner jars, fab!

Am loving all the ideas here, hope to get some of my Christmas presents done this Summer holiday.

Would those paper flowers work if you stuck gift wrap onto a cereal box & cut around it? You could stick another flower on the back....

Or perhaps sandwich a little cotton wool pad between the two sides of a cardboard flower, to make a little reservoir for a bit of perfume. Sprinkle on a few drops of essential oils maybe?

Perhaps I should be relieved that we don't live close to Asda or Hobbycraft or Ikea---I'd be bankrupt if we did:o

Does anyone know where I could buy these cheaply as I want to paint them to match my kitchen and use it for storing keys, wallet, mobile phones and other rubbish the pesky family keep dumping on worktops and table etc!:)

Think I saw some on Staples & Viking Direct websites.....I was browsing for paper storage at the time, so couldn't tell you the price I'm afraid:o

Looks like summat that Ikea might do tho I would offer to go look-see, but then I'd get depressed cuz I'm too far from a shop &/or not got any spare moola:rotfl:

Actually...looking thru...some of these might make a prezzie for an older teenager with associated accessories, or someone with a home office.....thanks SheGrinch:D

I love this nativity set

http://www.mormonchic.com/crafty/more-christmas_crafts.asp#nativity

they are so easy to do. I have bought from Instore a garden decoration for £1.99. The decoration is a flowerpot man so I have dismantled it and this has given me approx 15 pots, some really small ones will be great for this.



This is not my work by the way wish it was this is just a clip from the link.
