Christmas eve (final gift rapping)

If you're anything like me you always leave rapping until the very last minute. I have done that again this year :)  and so while I was at it wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas. And finally I will leave you with a Christmas duck.

 Once again I hope you have a very merry Christmas!

Count down to christmas (week 3)- Really last minute pressents

If you still haven't got a present yet (then you've left it very late this year :) ) but still want to make something personal for your friend, family member or anyone who you want to give a gift to, then I have the perfect video for you, which I found on YouTube!

I thought this may be useful for you, even though some of the ideas are not as crafty as I usually do for Christmas as I believe they are very easy to do as last minute gifts.

I hope this has inspired you!

Count down to christmas (week 2)- Pot of Love

This one is a very simple but time consuming present all you need is:

• Paper
• Jam jar
• Ribbon
• Scrap piece of square fabric

How to make your pot of love:

1. First write 52 (one for every week of the year) loving, inspiring or just simply nice and cute  massages on your paper and cut them up.
2. Now fold your messages in your jam jar.
3. Next screw on the lid and place your piece of fabric on the top of the jam jar.
4. Finally secure your fabric in place by tying the ribbon around the bottom of the lid. 

I hope this has inspired you!

Count down to christmas (week 1)- home made soap

There's nothing more personal than giving a home made item. My first home made item of my christmas pressies is soap. You may remember that I blogged about making my first ever bar of soap here. I made them using this video tutorial.

From there I started to come up with designs as shown bellow. These are great as a centre piece of a present or as a present on it's own. However I should warn you that it takes 3-4 weeks to be ready for giving, so if you want to make them as pressies get making now!

 I hope this has inspired you!
