If you want to start your handmade Christmas journey now then check out our Christmas crafts section here on Gathered. This kid's craft kit is one of the coolest creative ideas we've come across, the chance to colour-in their own super hero cape. One incredible positive of the lockdown situation we find ourselves in is that crafting has entered a golden age.

It’s essential to have a theme – ours was hypericum berries, dried hydrangeas and reindeer moss – but dried roses are exquisite, and glittered crab apples look very Christmassy too. Complete with a jar, potting supplies and figurines to decorate your own miniature scene that also glows in the dark.This one contains 50 handmade projects to try out and is divided in to crafting areas: from Needlecrafts to Flower crafts. If the usual gold and silver of Christmas doesn't quite suit your home, paper decorations made of colourful illustrated paper – wrapping paper or even wallpaper samples would work – are a lovely bespoke solution. Put a thin line of glue along the very top edge of the paper and quickly roll the final bit to stick the seam down. A fun activity that siblings and best friends will enjoy doing together, this dress up dolls craft kit comes with princess themed outfits like coats and cloaks and even has a castle backdrop which is perfect for storytelling.

They'll be able to customise their clothes rather than your walls and will enjoy using the kit when their friends come over. I wonder if The Honourable Kirstie Allsopp knows that her books are, as of August 2019, 89p in ALDI? Deadline understands that Channel 4’s content chief Ian Katz personally phoned Allsopp to deliver the news last Thursday. Carefully lift off the stamp, then repeat the paint and rolling process until you’ve achieved the design you want.

A Channel 4 spokeswoman said: “The primetime show, Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas will air later this year as planned.

The presenter of Channel 4's most Christmassy of shows is passionate about the benefits of crafting and wants to spread the word about the positivity of making.First screened in 2014, Handmade Christmas was not formally greenlit for another season by Channel 4, but early preparations were underway, including tentative guest bookings.
