Christmas is on its way!

Now it's December, it is really starting to feel Christmassy and we have put up the decorations. I love Christmas lights and like nothing better than to sit in the soft glow of the Christmas tree lights crafting with an orange and cinnamon perfumed candle flickering nearby. I saw some Christmas trees in a magazine that I read recently and it inspired me to have a go at making my own. It is a cone of cardboard with multiple loops of paper and fringing attached, then finished off with a trunk made from brown cardboard wrapped around with string for strength. Very twee!
