Are you on the lookout for DIY gift ideas to make this Christmas special? Then look no further!<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

This year we\u2019ve gathered together our best \u201chands\u201d who have come up with some really unique projects to make not only ours but also yours a 100% crafty Christmas.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

Here they are. Get your fill of inspiration and tutorials.<\/span><\/p>

A 100% crafty Christmas: knit ideas<\/h2>

Of course we just had to include the projects made with our latest items such as the <\/span>alpaca yarns<\/span><\/strong><\/a> that were used to make the arm warmers and a super soft scarf. Not forgetting the prefelt ribbons that once again we used as if they were yarns to make a lovely retro spacious shopping bag.<\/span><\/p>


Here the link for the tutorials on the <\/span>arm warmers<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and the <\/span>hooded scarf<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

Whereas for the bag we recommend taking a look at <\/span>the pochette tutorial<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, made last summer with the Tunisian entrelac crochet as part of the Afro-Chic Mood.<\/span>
<\/p>


<\/p>Same materials and technique for a project with a completely different style thanks to the addition of contrasting embroidery detail which was made yet again using extrafine merino prefelt ribbons<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. The handles however were made with <\/span>deluxe faux leather ribbons<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span>

<\/p>


<\/p>

\u2026 and with the leftovers from all these materials? Other projects of course!<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

We have come up with crochet cup cosies and potholders, which in our opinion, are a great way to use up your left over yarn.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

You can find the <\/span>tutorials here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>

A 100% crafty Christmas: Felt ideas<\/h2>

Instead for those of you who love working with industrial felt, check out these cute animals made with our <\/span>3mm thermoformable wool felt<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

Thanks to the thermoformability and a simple electrical oven you can create three-dimensional figures that will melt your heart.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

A bear, an ox, a donkey whatever you want! All you need is a pattern, a pair of scissors and a small oven! If you\u2019ve never used this technique before, why not take a look at <\/span>our video tutorial<\/span><\/strong><\/a> before starting out.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

Whether you\u2019re a beginner or an expert at this, you can find the animal <\/span>patterns made for us by Manusa here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

\n
<\/p>

A 100% craft Christmas: floral design<\/h2>

Fans of textiles and flowers? Well this project is right up your street. We asked Silvia, our trusted floral designer, to create a Scandi-style centerpiece, where our materials would be put together with plants, flowers and all the other materials that we love decorating our table with.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

And here it is. Be inspired.<\/span><\/p>

<\/span>
<\/p>

Plants that look like they\u2019ve come out of a book of fairytales, wood, candles and our materials: thermoformable felt for the base, printed <\/span>Piuma yarn<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to give a gentle touch of colour, <\/span>Bergschaf wool<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to add warmth and softness and last but not least gold and silver shapes in deluxe faux leather to add to the Christmas theme. Don\u2019t you just love it?<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

To finish off with we couldn\u2019t not have a door wreath.<\/span><\/p>

\n
<\/p>

A wooden base and lots of creativity as well as fir branches, berries, yarns and felt and faux leather ribbons.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

Tadaaa\u2026<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

Also for this project there isn\u2019t a tutorial, but as we often like to do, we invite you to experiment and have fun using our materials as you like.<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

Even if the outcome is not that of an expert floral designer, who cares!<\/span><\/p>


<\/p>

I can already smell ginger in the air and hear <\/span>Frank Sinatra singing Santa Claus is coming to town<\/span><\/strong><\/a> in the background\u2026 I LOVE CHRISTMAS!<\/span><\/p><\/p
