I love Christmas crafting. I also think a handmade gift is far more thoughtful than a shop-bought one, by far!
Thise wood slice Santas remind me of my childhood. I used to make them with my grandparents. I also really like those Coke bottles, very fitting!
Ohhh I love this post! I was finding it hard to get into the spirit this year, but a couple of these crafts and I think the whole family will be more than ready!
So many fantastic ideas, thank you so much for sharing! I always try to do lots of Christmas themes crafts with the kids in the run up to Christmas and then they have them all on display in their bedrooms so I will definitely try some of these! Especially love the look of those coke bottle santas they are awesome!
These are such good ideas! I’m going to go through them with my eldest and see what he wants to have a go at doing.
I love those painted wooden santa’s – so cute and a lovely keepsake too
