Christmas Bunting!

Getting crafty and creative is a great way to spend time with the kids this festive season, and get them involved in making great decorations for the home. It's also a great way to spend some downtime and decorate your fireplace or the front door of your home.

There are some great ideas for Christmas bunting and Ellie Ellie loves the idea of getting creative and crafty. You can spell out Christmas with your bunting, or Merry Christmas, or just have lovely Christmas patterns that will fill the home with festive joy this season!

Here are some great ideas:

This bunting has been made by using old sheet music, with the word joy! It's a great idea to mix it up with different shapes and colours, which make it more interesting and fun!



This is more traditional bunting, with great Christmas patterns and colours! Hanging bunting under a shelf with all your Christmas cards adds another bit of Christmas magic to a room.

 

 

If you prefer a more neutral colour scheme to your Christmas decorations, these are a great mixture of a simple pattern with Christmas robins, snowmen and cake.

 

Bunting is an easy and great way to make your home more festive this Christmas!



Crafty Coasters

We found a great crafty present idea on Apartmenttherapy.com to add a unique and quirky look to your table! Just take a couple of slices of birch from a craft or flower shop, and trace your design through some carbon paper onto the wood. Paint or colour in however you fancy, and you have the perfect personal coaster for guests at a party, or something lovely for the home to make for the coming of Mother’s Day!

To keep your decorations looking perfect for longer, simply paint over or spray with some varnish.

Not quite as crafty but you still want something personal and from the heart? Ellie Ellie has just launched their NEW Personalised Map Paperweight, which you can personalise with any town or city from around the world. Handmade in Ellie Ellie's Sussex based HQ, each one is totally unique for the individual. Gorgeously nostalgic and useful! What more could you want? 

 If however, you're one step ahead of the game and have already got Mother's Day on the brain, why not try one of these..
