Paper Christmas wreath



I just love a Christmas wreath, nothing says a tradition like a wreath.
But me being the crafty bitch i want to make a paper one and use some of the lovely chrismassy paper that i recently bought.


Cut out a card circle and lots of different left shapes



Stick the leaves down and over lap the leaves
until you have gone all the way around.


Add some ribbon and hang on an inside door.
It looks fabulous and christmassy!




diy Christmas presents


Handmade coaster


These are really easy to make and are just the ticket for putting your own mark on a gift for a loved one.
I love the idea of handmade gifts but have only made a few over he years.
You will need squares of wood, hard board or cork.
pretty paper of your choice
glue 
waterproof sealer,varnish.


Sand the edges of the square if using wood, i rounded off the corners to make them look more professional
cut you paper to the shape of the coater apply glue and smooth paper on from one side smoothing out any creases and air bubbles.
Leave to dry then apply the sealer or vanish and leave to dry thoroughly.


There you have it a fabulous handmade gift.
