White and red christmas

What are your favourite colours for Christmas? This year, I am very fond of white and red. And as I love robin wood, it was the perfect match, wasn't it?

This robin ribbon "deck the halls" is just perfect. I like it with its hat!

I made also a gift bag 

with a scandi Christmas ribbon.

Do you usually use an advent calendar? There is a amazing scandi ribbon Advent pockets to go with.

Hoping you have fun with Christmas crafts this year. What are you doing?

Hanging Advent

I grabbed the numbers ribbon from the Nisse range and wondered how it could be used in a sewing-free way...

I pasted the back of the ribbon with matte medium (PVA glue will do too!) and allowed to dry before cutting into individual numbers.  This stops the ribbon from fraying.  Then I gathered up 24 little envelopes to hold my advent treats - nothing huge just a chocolate or two.

I used matching colours of 3mm to tie each number to an envelope and then attach it to a string of Christmas tree beads.  Quick and easy, and very effective!

Thanks for looking,

Nativity

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, in every shop you see.  Laura here, it's still too early for me, I'd prefer a ban until November!  But hey, that's not how it works...

Crafty Ribbons have three new Christmas ranges for this year, Nativity being the first release.

I wrapped and pinned some ribbon around the bottom of a handpainted candle, wrapped it with printed celophane and tied with the Nativity words ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!

p.s. I hope you sung the first line of this blog post!!

Advent Gift Box

Hi Folks, Laura here today.

I made this cute Christmas gift box using ribbon from the Advent range.

I added a tag and lid topper cut on my Silhouette Cameo to match the featured star design.  Really simple - i.e. wrapping double sided tape around a premade box and sticking ribbon on.  It's a great way to recycle boxes as the ribbon covers up and design or branding.

Thanks for stopping by.
