So that us going through June now and alot of us are starting to think about xmas.

This year instead of the normal shop bought presents am thinking of making hampers for everyone.
Is anyone else planning this and what are you putting in your?

I found a picture on someone else's blog - a piece of red paper, with a strip of black for boots, strip of white for furry boot tops, strip of black for a belt with a little piece of gold card as a belt, 3 black dots for buttons (I got a sheet of black and used a 2 hole punch to make lots of dots), with a white beard shape at the top (no face needed).

Snowmen were slightly easier - piece of white paper, 3 black buttons, 2 strips of coloured paper to make an overlapping scarf, orange triangle for carrot nose, 2 more black dots for eyes, piece of black cut into top hat shape, and draw on mouth and 2 arms with black/brown marker (stick shapes).

All fine in theory, and relatively straightforward to do one at a time (although they each took some time as they were a bit fiddly), but the amount of double sided sticky, cutting paper to the right sizes, and then just the sheer pressure of school ending deadlines meant I was up until 2am the night before finishing them off......It might have been easier if I had used larger bars.

But just a few for stockings at home would be lovely!!

Aww they do sound nice. I am crap at crafts despite being quite good at arty stuff in my youth - I just haven't got back into it. One thing I was prou of a while ago was taking lots of DD's old paintings (the type from nursery where it's just splodges) and cutting them up to make a snowman. As far as Xmas cards go that's as far as I got!
