Creative Creations to Sooth the Soul from Dairy Diary
After the hubbub of Christmas it’s easy to feel a little fed up. The weather’s dismal and the excitement of the season has been and gone.
However, now’s the time to embrace the cold – cosy up indoors and create something lovely.
The feel-good factor of crafting
is a great mood lifter.
The project may seem a little premature, but it’s a great way of recycling Christmas cards and gift wrap. It also means that you can already tick one thing off the to-do list for next Christmas.
Pop your gorgeous tags in a box and store with your Christmas decorations – and don’t forget to make a note in your Dairy Diary – otherwise it’s easy to forget and buy new tags in November.
Christmas gift tags for 2016
- Old Christmas cards and Christmas paper
- Craft knife or paper cutter
- Christmas punch
- Double-sided tape
- Scissors
- Card
- Hole punch
- Ribbon or wool (I cut these from gifts or the inside of new clothes)
1 Choose pretty elements from the old cards and wrap cut with a punch, knife or paper cutter.
2 Cut squares or rectangles of paper slightly larger.
3 Layer one on top of another on a piece of card and secure with double-sided tape.
4 Punch in a hole and thread with ribbon or wool.
Look out for part 2 coming soon.
