...all the way. Christmas now officially has permission to invade our home. I love it, but October is too early for tinsel and carols playing in the shops. The tail end of November, however? Bring it at me.
So, how's about we cut and paste ourselves a little fringed and pom-pommed tree to kick things off?
Gather some scissors, crepe paper and glue. Then cut yourself a half circle from heavy paper or card.
Roll or fold the crepe paper to make it quick and easy to cut strips. Then cut off pieces about 3cm wide. Snip along one edge, almost to the other side. Then unfurl you lovely fringed piece of paper.
Coat you paper tree in glue. Then, beginning at the bottom start to wrap your fringe around. Be careful to only stick the top edge so as to retain the frilly effect. Continue wrapping layer upon layer until you get to the top.
Lastly, pom-pom it!
Now off you go and have fun. Try different colours, a star rather than a pom-pom and I strongly advocate the liberal use of glitter and or sequins.
