It’s not too late to create something amazing and handmade for your christmas table. Here are some wonderful christmas trees and bauble ideas our design team has come up with this year.
Jill took the glorious colours of the Fancy Pants Hopscotch Collection and turned them into a delightful Christmas tree. By rolling punching out large circles, damping each piece and rolling them into tiny flowers, the tree is filled with the colours to suit our Australian Christmas. Would make a beautiful centrepiece for any Christmas table.

Every year Suz likes to do something different with her Tim Holtz Tree of Life. This year she has used Webster’s Pages Royal Christmas range to create tags to hang on it. She trimmed the Journal Cards to tag shape, which even gives her room to write on the backs. Each tag has been treated to a light washing of gesso, and layers of the beautiful Websters trims along with a Royal Christmas Cameo as the focal point, finishing off with a smattering of co-ordinating glitter.

With this project, Jill has carefully folded all the pages of a vintage dictionary to turn it into a Christmas tree. To decorate her tree, she has punched some butterflies from a couple of the vintage pages and painted them with the Luminarte Key Lime glazes.

Leanne used a cotton spool and foam cone to create the base for this cute little Christmas Tree. By using a few different sizes of a 6 petal flower punch, some inking and scrunching Leanne added layers of patterned paper to the cone. The tree really highlights just how well the Winter Wonderland papers co-ordinate together. Adding the enamel dots as baubles at the end gave the tree some added dimension. The tree was topped with a die cut star wrapped around a toothpick.

And last, but certainly not least, Stacey decided to make a shabby, Ornament Wall/Door hanging for her Christmas decor project. She had a packet of Styrofoam balls just waiting to be used. Each ball was made differently to the next. Stacey cut, punched, folded and ripped various pieces of paper from the Pink Paislee City Walks collection. Lots of of trims, ribbons and lace were added to create the shabby look of the ornaments. It is a versatile piece and can be used a number of ways, on a front door, as a centre piece or as a modern take on mistletoe.
