Cass Art London’s Get Crafty and Creative this Christmas My Baba 17 December, 2013 Christmas, Christmas Activities Christmas tree decorations aren’t half pricey, so why spend a fortune on baubles, tinsel and stars – let’s face it, they look tacky anyway – when you can make your own bespoke ones at home for half the price and a whole lot more fun to boot? We’ve put together three alternative Christmas tree decorations you can make at home using some simple craft products and a little spice of creativity. TOILET ROLL CREATURES The kids will love making these. Here’s how you craft toilet roll creatures. Get together: Some toilet roll tubes Scissors Paint, felt or sandpaper Stickers Pipe cleaners Buttons Glue Get cracking: Grab your scissors and cut the toilet roll tubes in half Cover each one with some paint, felt or sandpaper – think of using different colours to mix things up a bit Make your toilet roll come alive – grab some googly eyes or buttons and glue on some eyes Tack on some pipe cleaners or these striped stems to give the toilet roll some ears Jazz it up with some stickers or glitter Voila. From corner of the bathroom to pride of place on the Christmas tree in five minutes. Done. By Cass Art London
