Christmas decorations
Christmas also means school holidays and lots of free time, so it's a fantastic time to do things together as a family. Putting up Christmas decorations can be a great way to entertain the little ones. Drawing patterns and using decorating tape around the house is always lots of fun!
Kids can also help out with the seasonal decorations by making creative Christmas-themed murals using their favourite items.
Why not make a gingerbread house? It's bound to be one of the most admired Christmas decorations in the whole house.
Homemade Christmas tree decorations
You can also recycle objects like pastry cutters and transform them into stunning Christmas tree decorations. Take a look at the video and we'll walk you through it.
Christmas centrepieces
Christmas just isn't the same without festive table centrepieces. Wow your friends and family, and break away from the norm by opting to make them yourself. Brighten up your table with some gingerbread biscuits and a tea light holder or a simple candle decoration.
And the fun doesn't stop with centrepieces. Napkins are also an imaginative way to jazz up your table for Christmas. We'll show you how to transform your napkins to add some Christmas cheer to your table.
Decorating your gifts
Christmas decorations don't have to stop with your home and table. You can also give your gifts that extra special festive touch we all love.
Decorating Christmas presents is easier than you might think, if you're feeling creative and you've got the right glue. Pick out your gift wrap and much more from our Christmas decorations.
