Please come show off your poncetastically homemade Christmas gifts and decorations. And/or your child's Xmas crafty efforts

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello.

Have you been doing any poncetastic prep for Christmas?

Do please post up some pics of your homemade decorations and/or homemade gifts for us all to gawp at.

Or, if your child has brought home (or made at home) any brilliant/endearingly wonky Xmas crafts, do take a snap and post them up too.

We'll start you all off with a pic of a slightly conventional-angle-defying Christmas candle fashioned by RebeccaMumsnet's DS

Here's mine....a London themed glittery tree decoration!

ooh, we have done LOADS of christmas themed craft, I will need to get some photos. Best so far were some 'mistletoes' for the great-grandparents (by 3 month old DD and 3 yo DS). not sure about making them in to christmas trees, or keeping them unadorned though.

oh dear didn't work. Will try again later....not sure what I did wrong!

yours worked caro mine doesn't seem to have though?

They just take a while to load sometimes

Caro and Kveta I can see them both, they have worked!

Jack Skellington.

Hmmm, did mine not work? I have gone away and come back but still can't see it

hmm

Ooh, I'm in the middle of making salt-dough personalised Xmas decs for the DCs' teachers? I'm quite pleased with at least one

How do I add a pic from an iPhone please? Indeed, can I??

I am not sure how poncetastic mine will be but we're going to have loads if I succeed in my Conquering Christmas Project !
In the meantime, please accept a picture of the gingerbread house that we decorated last year (and did not make from scracth - I've missed the poncetastic point, haven't I?)

Hmm...my pic seems to only appear if you clic on it - sorry!

*click (and it's appearing fine now) I shall shut up.

hilarious, is there a prize for the worst one?

Don't know how to make my absolutely poncetastic gingerbread house appear in my post, but if you click on my name you can see it (I hope).

Would you like a photo of my bottles of sloe gin/vodka which I made 3 years ago and I am now too afraid to drink? ever again

Oh, glad it worked. Some lovely things here!

Love the Jack ornament! And the knitted stockings.

Ahcmon, where did you get hold of the stripey peppermint sweets for your house? For added poncetastic points, I want to have iconic American candies on my own gingerbread house.

No Littlemiss I just made it by copying a picture of his face :) Black, white, red and green felt. The bell was donated from a collar that belonged to my dear departed cat.
