Christmas decor - I am looking for...

[Paddingtonthebear]

1. Instructions to make a fireplace / stairs garland and a door wreath. Easy-ish instructions for someone who has never done it before

2. A naice round tablecloth for Christmas Day. But not too expensive

3. Something decorative that a three year old can enjoy helping me make

4. Something that will make the house smell nice. Not Yankee candles, they are too strong for my liking.

Any ideas? Thanks

1 and 2 Pinterest is the best best as loads of ideas on there, 3 glade do some christmas candles which are just appearing in the supermarkets about £2.50 a pop and lovely but I do love yankee the best

3 Get oranges and you put holes using a skewer/cocktail stick, let toddler fill holes with cloves

4 Put your toddler-made pomanders in a bowl in sitting room perhaps with a couple of cinnamon sticks alongside

Alternatives could be using childfriendly scissors and sheets of white paper to fold and cut out snowflake shapes to hang

Or give child a box full of strips of different coloured paper and little piece of sticky/pritt stik, and let them make paper chains in their own favourite colours

I'll be making salt dough tree decorations with my 2.5yo, basic salt dough cut out with tree/snowman shapes and decorate with glitter glue

I have some Caroline Gardner candles and also those reed diffuser things in "Corda" fragrance - they just are the smell of Christmas to me :)
