Christmas mason jar lantern

handmade Christmas decorations

Looking for a five minute Christmas Craft to do with the kids this weekend, or even with a sneaky cocktail once the kids have gone to bed?
I went to a Christmas Craft event, with my mum at her church last night. There were lots of tables set up with various festive crafts.
This mason jar craft was really simple and mess free, so I thought it was the perfect thing to share on my blog.


Christmas lantern how to

To make you need:
jam or mason jars
Twine
Ribbon
Festive wrapping paper cut into 1cm-2.5cm widths
Double sided tape
Scissors
Tea light

At the event they had all the ribbon and paper pre cut to the widths of the jam jars. All we had to do was wrap and stick our chose bits around the jar.
These would make love centre pieces for your table or festive decor for your mantle piece.

This was my first experience of a craft party, but I enjoyed it and would go to another. Have you ever been to a craft party?

Little Bloom- Cloth Nappy reviews

If you are a newbie in cloth its hard to know what to buy. I've been using  Cloth Nappies  for 16 months with my first born, and am preparing to have two in cloth when my daughter arrives in May. You could say I'm somewhat of cloth nappy pro. I've moved on from my start up stash, and invest in nappies that will see us through til froggy potty trains, and ideally ones his baby sister can use afterwards too! Pocket nappies are great for this purpose and this week I'm reviewing the little bloom nappies You can grab little bloom nappies on  amazon  from as little as £2.89 delivered. So they are a cheap option but are they cheerful enough to do the job?
