Home-made Christmas with 35 beautiful easy-to-make projects

the long version

Traditionally, Christmas decorations were always handmade using materials that could be found around the house and gleaned from nature. And it's still immensely satisfying to make your own. Children love to help, and you'll find most of the projects in this book require only the most basic skills. The joy of Christmas decorations is that they're not meant to be masterpieces: they're fun, they're quick, they can even be kitsch, but en masse, they're always beautiful. This book has 35 projects and ideas to get you started, all with full-color step-by-step instructions and helpful techniques--use them, adapt them, develop your own.--From publisher description.
