Theme 02 ♥ The children’s Christmas table
A Christmas table made for children
Christmas with children deserves a style all of its own. The table might not look like the perfectly styled Christmas table on Instagram, but it will be full of colour, quirky details and homemade decorations the children have helped to create. And it will certainly be cosy.
Let the children help decorate
Start the Christmas fun before the table is even set. Make napkin rings, table decorations and little figures together, and let the children choose the colours, shapes and quirky details. After all, it’s their Christmas table too.
Idea 06
Potato printing for the Christmas table
Grab the potatoes and fabric paint, and let the children put their own stamp on the Christmas table. Print onto a tablecloth, napkins or placemats to create Christmas decorations guaranteed to look nothing like the neighbours’.
Idea 07
Put your own stamp on the tablecloth
Let the children decorate the tablecloth with fabric paint, colours and fun motifs. Heat-set the paint afterwards so their artwork can be washed and brought out for the Christmas table again next year.
Idea 08
Draw on the Christmas napkins
Get the fabric pens out and let the children decorate the fabric napkins. Trace around a little hand, add names or let their imaginations run wild with designs of their own.
Idea 09
Little felt Christmas trees
Let the children cut, decorate and make their own little Christmas trees from felt. They look lovely on the Christmas table and can handle a little more enthusiastic Christmas fun than the delicate decorations.
Cuddly Christmas animals
A Christmas pig, a goose, a reindeer or perhaps a completely different little Christmas creature. Sew cuddly friends to join in the fun, decorate your home in December and bring out again Christmas after Christmas.
Theme 03 ♥ Christmas anticipation
The waiting is half the fun
Sometimes the days leading up to Christmas are the cosiest of all. Here are three projects you can sew well in advance and bring out when December begins. Choose a festive fabric, switch on the sewing machine and create little traditions that make counting down to Christmas together even more special.
