Easy Peasy Oilcloth Gift Bags
I love making these, they look so cute and are easy to make in a short time space. I found the oilcloth in a shop in East London and thought it so sweet. The design of the fabric lends itself perfectly for these little gift bags. I made a few for the craft fair I did last year and they proved popular there.

Recycled Christmas Card Tutorial Reference:
I was at a local charity shop yesterday and saw a very clever idea – prettily cut up Christmas cards to make for a second use as gift labels. What a good use for all those old cards (if you are anything like me and a bit of a hoarder) you might have a stash of them? Another way is to make up some Christmas tree decorations….see below for details.
I found this through veryberry’s blog and have been so impressed with this brilliant blog! It is an extensive blog with lots of excellent crafty tutorials offered! Here is a link to my favourite decoration tutorial. I thought I would make one with some old Christmas Cards I found hiding from years past.

Paper Card Hanging Decoration
This is a great way to entertain yourself and any children for a little while one day, and at the end you will have some pretty hanging decorations for around the Christmas Tree. Be prepared for a little or perhaps a lot of glitter landing up everywhere depending on the age of your children – my little one decided upending all of the red on the floor was a very good idea. That’s all part of the fun! I learnt this decoration when supporting a New Zealand teacher who was doing an art and craft lesson with some year six pupils just before Christmas a few years ago. A clever and simple idea. Thank you.

How to Make An Oilcloth Zipper Case
This is my first attempt at a tutorial. The bag described step by step measures 20cms wide by 10cms deep and could be used for make-up or just as a simple pencil case. The two skills I present have really helped me in my bag making. Simple but effective. These are: adding a zipper the easy way and creating a base for your bag.
