I actually sat down and did some craft on Saturday – for the first time in a long time. I don’t make a lot of time to create – not like I used to anyway. It was good just to sit down and cut and fold and slice and paste. Simple things.

I spent some time making some cute little bows for the Christmas presents I’m making. Have a look at the tutorial here if you’d like to have a go. I made a lot of them that didn’t look quite right but I think the one above looks pretty cool. I used ads out of some old magazines which I think looks pretty cool.

I also tried making some origami stars. I had the brilliant idea of creating a cascading curtain of origami stars that we could hang in our hallway as a nice festive greeting when people come over. Unfortunately they take a little longer than anticipated but this could be because I was using paper that had a bit of weight to it. I might try using some regular weight paper to see if that helps. They are quite small too – probably about 2cm high. Very cute.
