HOST WITH THE MOST

TABLE RUNNER

A table runner makes a great centrepiece at Christmas. As well as protecting your table from spills and hot dishes, this simple make is an easy way of keeping your table looking styled and festive in-between mealtimes. Choose a contrast backing so you can turn it over for two totally different looks.

NAPKINS

It really is the small details that make get-togethers so special, and going to the effort of sewing handmade napkins is something everyone will appreciate. They’re a far more eco-friendly option than disposable ones, too. Simply pop them in the wash after your meal and use again and again.

SCENTED TREES

Christmas really is a full sensory experience! As well as the decorations, the parties and the music, scents like cinnamon are a strong sign that the season is upon us. These tree decorations with cinnamon trunks make fab place settings or little extras along with someone’s gift.

BOTTLE BAG

We all know that it’s what inside that counts – particularly when it comes to a wine bag! But with a handmade bag, the packaging is every bit as special as the gift inside. This is another make that’s far kinder to the environment than the usual alternative, too.

COASTERS

Reminding guests to use a coaster won’t feel like a chore when you pull out your handmade ones! These are a great way of putting your fabric scraps to use and tying your decorative scheme together. Why not make a personalised one for each family
