We will be away over the festive period this year so aren't going to bother lugging all the tree and decorations down out of the loft, but I do want to put up a bit of tinsel and other decoration bits. I tend to keep anything handmade in my wardrobe as I worry that with the loft being so cold they might not survive up there. I don't have many handmade decorations so it was nice to make a few more that could be hung from the mantelpiece or on the unit doors.
I found some Christmas shaped frames that are supposed to be used for cross stitch - they have sat in my cross stitch stash for many years and the likelihood of me actually filling them with a cross stitched piece is virtually nil, so this seemed to be a good moment to fill them with Christmas paper instead.
I used Graphic 45 'Christmas Emporium' papers and lovely Christmas Bakers Twine from The Ribbon Girl.
This is also my Monthly Make for November
What a great idea...they look lovely....I think I may have some of these old cross stitch holders as well....must go and dig them out.

Ooh, these look really goo! What a great idea, and much better than having them empty tucked away somewhere! Thanks for joining in with the Frosty Festivities Challenge! x
