Last year was mine and the boy's first Christmas in our newly purchased home and I got a little bit in to the decoration! This year is a bit of a different story, far too many weddings and birthdays to plan for, probably a good thing as the house probably can't cope with much more decoration!
So, as I wasn't blogging last year, but as always was taking many pictures I'm going to do a week run down of Christmas crafts each night this week! First up is -
Gingerbread Wreath
 |
| First of you need to make salt dough, hundreds of recipes around and I added plentiful handfuls of cinnamon, ginger and other spices to give it a bit more Christmassyness! |
 |
| Use a standard gingerbread man cutter and cut out lots of little men, numbers aren't important as long as you have enough to form a ring |
 |
| Whack the oven on and cut some greaseproof paper for your oven tray. Lay out your little men making sure to overlap hands and feet. |
 |
| This is what it should look like when put in the oven! Don't forget to put a little pressure on each of the joins so that it won't break when baked. |
 |
| Ta da! Thread some festive ribbon through their little bellies and hang like any wreath :) |
 |
| All done! |
Merry almost Christmas!
