DIY Christmas Crafts
The Christmas countdown has officially begun, so here are our top picks for handmade gifts that have an added personal touch.
Dipped Candles for Autumn
Making dipped candles can become quite addictive. Dipping the wicks over and over so that the candles grow before your eyes is a magical process and creates beautifully imperfect candles that have a real handmade charm.
Conifer Collection
You may not have room for a collection of fully grown conifer trees in your garden, but a mini conifer patch is a sweet addition. Choose plants in different shades and heights and plant in a tray, giving the roots space to grow outward.
Handmade Block Candles
These contemporary block candles are made using empty juice cartons that can be ripped off once the wax has solidified. The inside of the cartons will leave the candles with a stylish, matt finish.
Honeycomb Bees
These cute little bees are very easy to make - before you know it, you’ll have a complete hive! Here, they form part of a charming scene, complete with flowers and honeycomb, but they would make equally lovely greetings cards.
