Well this months crafts are centred around Christmas (of course) and making our bamboo Christmas tree. We were sent a lovely little box of bits and bobs as part of out Bostik Bloggers December Challenge and some great glue products.
I had made a little tree form bamboo sticks to pop above our kitchen table for all the handmade ornaments (at 16p a stick from the hardware store it is pretty thrifty!)
My son made the fab toadstool decoration for our tree out of air drying clay (using a cookie cutter) and used the glitter glue on the top and painted the bottom white once dry.
I think it looks rather awesome!
Using the glue we had been sent we made a little baby Jesus and angel and also a couple of tags.
We so enjoy crafting together, having a good chat and seeing what we can come up with. Using good products makes it all so much easier.
The glue pen was great it had a fat end and a thin end for when you want a tighter application. no mess at all with hat or the glitter pens and glitter normally gets everywhere!

So what do you think of our homemade Christmas tree? Hope you have time for crafting this Christmas.

I love that tree and the decorations too. I have some clay sitting in my cupboard, might be time to dig it out!
Love the tree, very creative! Are the bamboo poles hard to break?
