Making Paper Decorations with Country Homes & Interiors

I have been having a magical time making Christmas crafts with Country Homes & Interiors Magazine. Leafy garlands, paper chains, and intricate stars, all made from wallpaper offcuts.

Don’t worry if you don’t have any wallpaper left, you could also use gift wrap to make these but they wouldn’t hold their shape so well.

Making your own decorations is a wonderfully personal way to decorate your home, ensuring it is unique, sustainable and beautiful.

Gather your friends or family for a cosy crafting session with mulled wine, mince pies and all your left over wallpaper scraps from previous projects or samples that you no longer need and make sustainable and beautiful Christmas decorations yourself.

All instructions in the December issue of Country Homes & Interiors Magazine but you can find some instructions for previous Christmas crafts on our journal.
