I used this tutorial to make these heart decorations:
I'd already made a tiny string of them in pink just because, but using this chunky wool and a size 8 hook makes really cute big hearts. I think I'll make a lot of them and string them by the window.
I've also made this 'ho ho ho' bunting.
I used red and white felt and a checked ribbon I found in my stash. I think it's quite cute, I'm going to put it underneath my wreath (when I finally manage to make one - I may just cave and buy this one from Paperchase). I haven't decided what to put on the blank pieces yet - thinking snowflakes on the red, but what on the white? A stocking? I think it should stick to the red and white colour scheme. What do you think?

the bunting is great :) i would go with snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteThat wreath is great. But you can make one. I did it using this tutorial last year.

it worked really well. You need a zillion baubles though. And the glue gun is a must, not an option!

So adorable! I might have to shamelessly copy this bunting...
ReplyDeleteHi Lore, thanks for the link to the wreath tutorial - I will see if I can gather together enough baubles to give it a go! (I am buying pretty much everything new this year as it's the first time I've had a whole flat to decorate myself!) Cx
ReplyDeleteI love the Christmas hearts. They would look wonderful on the Christmas tree.
