101 Traditional Christmas Gifts by Liz Stuckey
From a welcoming garland for the front door to a delightful selection of stocking fillers, from an ingenious advent wall hanging to sumptuous satin tree decorations, this book incorporates a huge range of craft techniques such as crochet, cross stitch, needlepoint, sewing, hand and machine knitting and decoupage. Some projects require nothing more than basic skill with paint, scissors and glue so that even the youngest members of the family can join in the fun.
Why not turn the clock back and celebrate Christmas in a traditional way? No flashy plastic toys of expensive toiletries but home-made gifts to treasure down the yearsLiz Stuckey offers a tremendous range of ideas in her "101 Traditional Christmas Gifts" ranging from decorations to clothes, toys to edibles, all redolent of Christmas' past all photographed in a traditional setting to get you in the mood. Advent gift baskets, kissing boughs, garlands and swags for the home; hobby horses, rag dolls, baby bibs and wooden toys for children; aprons, slippers, photo albums and jewellery for adults. All projects are clearly explained and, where necessary, harder techniques illustrated. Including templates, this is an appealing book for both adult and junior handypersons looking to make an heirloom present for their friends and family. - Lucy Watson
