Victorian christmas decorations

[Nixz]

DD is in reception and the whole school are having a christmas decoration competition. The decorations have to be no bigger than a cereal box or football and have to be gold, red or green and have to be victorian.
Does any one have any suggestions - i was thinking a lantern but am lost with the victorian part!
Thanking u!

ideas here ?

Maybe a decorated candle, says in the link about making stars & baskets of sugar almonds ?

They cant be heavy as they have to hang from the raftyers in the school - im lost for ideas!

Anyone????

I'm really into victorian decoupage (i make 3d cards using it all the time! ...which is cut out pictures of victorian children...santa....etc etc.

If you email me at :

.....i will send you enough stuff to make 2 or 3 decorations...very simply...just by sticking a picture onto card with ribbon attatched. I will also make one for you as an example.

I'll also send you a hanmade 'victorian style ' card.

FREE! I do this to relax...and you end up running out of people to give them too..... so to help your daughter would be lovely!
