Last minute crafty decorations

If you're snowed in and haven't been quite as organised as you'd planned, it isn't too late to decorate your tree/house/table beautifully for the big day. Our tree's stylish silver and white decor scheme has been immeasurably improved by a few multi-coloured, splodgy and very glittery decorations handmade by my 17 month old niece. Here are some of my favourite decoration ideas, found on Etsy. The best bit is, they give you a good reason to sit inside and not venture out into the sleet.

Decorations made from old comic book pages (above).

Bird garland made from newspaper stuck onto cardboard, strung onto kitchen string or ribbon.

If all else fails, write on some citrus fruit with a felt pen and stick them in a big bowl.

Or decorate some eggs - who said this was only for Easter?

Happy Christmas.
