About this deal

Most of the ideas work best as simple ornaments that you can place around the house. Kids will love giving handmade Christmas ornaments as a gift, too! Other ways to save money is including decorations and bowls you already have, and taking cuttings from the garden. This will also give you a one-of-a-kind design. What should I put on my Christmas table? Your Christmas table should be made up of a few key elements – once you have these in place you can go wild adding extra decorations and touches of personality. A tablecloth or runner is great for adding a sense of occasion, along with, of course, your Christmas table centrepiece! Water jugs, salt and pepper, and mats for hot side dishes are useful to lay out centrally, too. The gallery above shows exactly what you'll need for each idea, but in general, the following supplies are all handy for crafting your Christmas masterpieces:

This year, why not hang some of your kids' Christmas creations in the window as fun decorations? Decorating the neighbourhood is a fun way to brighten things up and help everyone enjoy their winter walks. Top tips for crafting with kids In the gallery above, you'll find loads of different ways for your kids to craft their own Christmas tree pictures or models, from simple handprint paintings to more elaborate creations involving wool, playdough or buttons.Small sprigs of fresh rosemary are a clever addition as they will add a lovely aromatic touch to the display. This type of look is best created fresh, but you can stretch it out for a week or so (New Year’s party, perhaps?) by keeping the room cool, spritzing occasionally and simply replacing dried-out items. There's nothing quite like the glow of candles as you eat a cosy meal, or gather around the table to chat after dinner.

Our clever crafting ideas include suggestions for all ages and abilities, from super-simple potato prints that are great for toddlers, right up to an entire nativity scene that can keep older kids occupied for hours.

What you'll need for Christmas crafting

Christmas is the perfect time to encourage your child's creative side. Homemade decorations will give your festive preparations a personal touch, and can be a lovely keepsake to pass down the generations.

Be sure to praise your kids for their Christmas creations. Even if it's not a work of art, you can always congratulate them for trying so hard!

Making a Christmas centrepiece can be as simple or as involved as you wish. For a very relaxed approach, you might just want to gently drape long lengths of eucalyptus running centrally down the table. From there, you can layer with holly, ivy, dried oranges and star anise… anything you can forage (or find in your kitchen!) which will add depth and interest. Always supervise toddlers and younger kids while they're crafting. Small items like buttons and baubles can easily find their way into a child's mouth, so keep a careful eye on them to reduce the risk of choking.
