Tradtional-style fabric Christmas decorations



 












I can't belive that it's only 2.5 weeks until Christmas day! Where has the year gone, and more importantly, I need to ensure all of the things I've made for Christmas have been added to my etsy store!  I've made two sets of these Victorian-style Christmas decorations, there a six in each set and all of the designs are different. I especially like the ones with the wrens on, but the robins, with their bright red chests, do shout Christmas though.

You can find these in my Etsy store here. Until Christmas Day, all orders from my Etsy and Folksy stores will also receive either a lavender heart of a length (about 1.5m) of paper mini bunting with their parcel. Just indicate your preference in the notes section when your place an order.

I hope your week is going well and I'll be back again on Friday.

Velvet Christmas decorations with a bit of added bling








These decorations are quite glamourous, even though I say so myself! They're made from velvet which has script printed onto it that I have decorated each side of the decoration with guipure lace, beads, a glass diamond, and vintage mother of pearl buttons. I added a little stuffing to give the decorations some body.

You can use these decorations on your Christmas tree etc, but I also use them to decorate Christmas presents, so the recipient gets a lovely looking gift and an extra present in one!

I've completely hand-stitched these and due to the print of the velvet each one is slightly different. I used a broken necklace for the glass diamonds and the beads from my stash of, mostly broken, jewellery. My favourite charity shop now saves me any broken jewellery rather then binning it now too!

If you'd like these decorations, I have a couple sets of two for sale in my Etsy store.

I'll be back again on Saturday.
