Christmas is less than a fortnight away (no, really!) but there’s still time to create handmade gifts and make someone’s Christmas extra special. To help you out, here are a few of our favourite Christmas craft ideas – and how to get the supplies cheap!
Cushions
Cushion covers are a great way to accessorise your home. Simply whip up a few in your favourite fabrics, add cushion pads, and you can mix them up as much as you like all year round. Pretty pinks for spring, rich reds at Christmas – and you only need to store the cushion covers when you aren’t using them, rather than a whole cushion. It’s a neat way to freshen up your look all year round, and impress your guests with your seasonal style.
If you fancy making a cushion cover as a festive gift, Loveless Cook Blinds has a fantastic selection of luxurious fabric from some of the UK’s top manufacturers. We also have a very special Christmas offer on our cushion pads, for up to 30% off until the end of the year! Check out our blog on how to make a simple DIY cushion cover for full instructions on making this festive gift – but don’t forget about our made to measure service!
Curtains
At this time of the year, curtains aren’t really used for shutting out the sunlight. However, they can be an excellent way of keeping the heat in and keeping your heating costs down – especially when they’re made with thick fabric and a lining. Why not create a special extra-festive set in time for Christmas, then take it down in the spring for something lighter?
Loveless Cook Blinds has a huge range of fabrics that would be perfect for winter curtains, and we even have a festive offer on our curtain linings, including blackout linings and thermal linings. To find out how to make quick and simple curtains in time for Christmas, check out the video below.
Wrapping
A beautiful gift – homemade or otherwise – deserves to be beautifully wrapped. Wrapping is an art in itself, but understated is in this season. Choose simple brown paper and string, and accessorise with bows, felt toppers, or even a pinecone. Check out more ideas in this video.
