Tiny table top tree

Here at Craft It Up! we know just how it feels to be a little overstretched in the run up to Christmas. Between us we have 8 kids, 2 dogs and a brand new book just about to reach deadline!

So whilst we may not have quite tackled the Christmas card list yet (New Years cards ok this year?) we have managed to make you a festive craft that'll take you moments to create.

Our tiny table top tree would look beautiful on a mantelpiece or as a centrepiece. Imagine several in different sized glasses running down the centre of your Christmas Day table!

 

Readers Pics: Christmas wreath

Full disclosure here...Libby's daughter made this gorgeous wreath using our Halloween tutorial and adapting it using Christmas colours. 

We're including it to show you that our crafts are can be simple and forgiving! She did this craft alone (she's 6!) and cut out every circle and made each hole. Because you thread the circles onto the coat hanger, you can really hack away at the felt and still end up with a gorgeous effect. 

We think her teacher is going to enjoy hanging it in her home this Christmas!

We love seeing what you've made from our book Craft It Up Around The World! 

This week we were excited to get an email from Zac and Oscar in England. Oscar has done a great job with our Netherlands flower project. He used paper instead of felt to make the flowers and leaves and the colours are vibrant and beautiful! And how cute are Zac and Oscar's little 'Saving For a Snowy Day' money boxes? Loving that rainbow ribbon and their sweet little faces! 

Keep them coming boys!
