Make your own Christmas photo decorations

If you enjoy scrapbooking you will love this Christmas fun. 

It’s simple, we are going to create a photo Christmas decoration, which you can tie to your tree. Your Christmas tree will showcase memories of the year or even later years. 

Let’s begin.

What you will need:

  • Scissors
  • Stick glue
  • Cardboard (thick or thin)
  • Christmas paper 
  • Photos
  • Hole punch
  • Christmas ribbon
  • Christmas stickers 

Cut out some cardboard. You can cut out from cardboard from a parcel box that you may have received filled with Christmas gifts. Or you can use thinner cardboard from cereal boxes and chip boxes. The bigger the box the better but cut out each side of the box in full and you will have a range of sizes. 

Then cut out the same size in Christmas paper. It doesn’t matter how thin it is, but try and avoid wrapping paper, as it’s so thin it might rip. Glue the Christmas paper to the cardboard. Then together, cut out Christmas tree, rectangle or square shapes. 

Then glue down the photos onto the Christmas paper. Hole punch the top of the cardboard and tie a Christmas ribbon. With enough space that it can fit and hang off the Christmas tree branch.

Now before you hang it.

You can decorate the back of this Christmas decoration. Use some Christmas paper. You can even add some Christmas ribbon with a glue gun around the frame. Or you can decorate with Christmas stickers. Or you can even glue another picture to it. So people can turn it and see both sides.

How I use my home for craft

So my home is decorated by my craft.  For example, I have a craft room where I store my craft supplies and have space to do my craft and then I have in my lounge room showing my craft creations (pictured above) and also storing craft supplies like yarn, where I love to look at and think about the possibilities of what I can do with my craft supplies.  It makes me feel good to come home and be surrounded by my craft.  And it’s ok to never have your craft room finished. For me it’s a work in progress. I am always changing it and my supplies and where to showcase my supplies. This is because my interests change. One month I may be heavily into crocheting so I don’t need a table for that, I can just sit on the couch. I really just need storage for my yarn and crochet needles and my half completed crochet projects such as draws to cater for these.  Another month, I may be into scrapbooking so I do need a table for this, my set of draws for the stickers and tapes and then ...

Crocheting my first blanket

So I decided that crocheting animals etc is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket.  I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. And I found one. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant. So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled and realised after I do a row of single crochet stitches, I have to do one chain stitch at the end before ...
