I’ve been wanting to make some clay heart ornaments with my son for ages so when we had a miserable grey day the other week I took this as my opportunity to make some! These would make great Valentines Day or Christmas ornaments or are just nice to have around the house because, hey, you all love each other!

This week we’ve been making cookie cutter Christmas cards. I’m going to hold my hands up and say that Christmas card writing is probably my least favourite Christmas activity, so getting the kids to do some homemade cards always makes it more bearable for me! These cards may not look like Clinton’s finest, but they are kid made and are great to send to family members. Plus cookie cutter crafts are fun for the kids so that’s a good thing by me!

Every year I like to do a bit of Christmas crafting and one thing that appears to have become a bit of a tradition is that I always write a little tutorial on here on how to make a Christmas Wreath. They’ve changed from the natural Christmas wreath I made while slightly intoxicated at the Church Christmas do (oops!) to the super quick Christmas wreath I made last year and now I’m sharing a quick tutorial for an embroidery hoop wreath I made yesterday. I think this is my favourite so far!
This week I thought we’d try to make our own Christmas tree ornaments with these cute toilet roll reindeer decorations! They were loads of fun to make and are a great frugal Christmas craft too, everything that we used was something I already had, or in the case of the ‘antlers’, something I could easily find in the garden!

I’m officially doing the ‘It’s nearly Christmas’ dance this week as our tree is up, whoop! One of the ways we’re getting into the spirit of things is by reading loads of Christmas stories, so for this weeks Tuesday Tutorials I’m sharing some Christmas crafts inspired by books that have been linked up here!
