I can't believe it's less than 10 days until Christmas! It seems to have crept up on me and I'm still busy making gifts as well as shopping for the few I need to buy.
Here in the North-West of England, the schools break up for their Christmas holidays at the end of this week meaning there's nearly a whole week before Christmas. That means there's plenty of time to get creating and I've got some gorgeous Christmas Crafts perfect for children to make and gift during this festive season.
Bird Seed Feeders
If you have friends and family who love the birds that visit their garden, then these bird seed feeders make fabulous gifts for them. Grab your cookie cutters (you can purchase festive shaped ones to from supermarkets) and get creating a beautiful gift and feed a few birds at the same time.
This tutorial from Pink Pistachio, is super simple to follow.
Food is a very popular gift at Christmas and these hot chocolate spoons are just adorable - I mean, who wouldn't be pleased to unwrap one of these on Christmas Day?
Cherished Bliss has written this fabulous tutorial to get you started over on her blog. Have fun thinking up the different flavours and fancy bits you can add to your spoons and then wrap them in some cellophane, tie with pretty ribbon and give as gifts this Christmas (or just enjoy yourself!)
Christmas Biscuits in a Pretty Box
Find your favourite biscuits recipe (this one from BBC Good Food looks great) and bake up a treat this Christmas. Whilst your biscuits are cooling, grab a paper plate and some ribbon and follow this tutorial from It's Always Autumn, and create a cute little basket to pop the biscuits in ready to gift to family and friends.
A beautiful gift for grandparents, these salt dough handprint ornaments are quick, easy and possibly slightly messy, to make. Nest of Posies has written this great tutorial over on her blog.
