Make a hanging paper Villi
STEP 1
Download and print out the Villi template. Cut out the shapes from the template in felt or paper.
STEP 2
Decorate each Villi – maybe a cozy winter scarf, or a woolly hat. You could even add googly eyes for a little extra fun.
STEP 3
Fold each Villi and stick one half of the back to another Villi. Continue until they are all stuck together. Add a ribbon to hang it up and it’s done!
Make an EPIC pom-pom bauble
STEP 1
Cut Pom-Pom maker shapes out of cardboard. Wrap wool around the cardboard until it’s covered.
STEP 2
Insert your scissors in between the two pieces of cardboard and cut around. Wrap another piece of wool around the Pom-Pom and tie.
STEP 3
Slide the cardboard disks off and you now have a bauble. Decorate it how you like. We’ve made a Richard bauble.
Make a festive chain
STEP 1
Cut felt or coloured paper into strips about 3cm wide and 20cm long.
STEP 2
Curl a strip of paper around to make a loop and stick the ends together with glue. Feed another strip through your new loop and glue together.
STEP 3
Add links one at a time until you have a long paper chain. Once you have a chain – decorate it with creatures – we have a template to start you off in the PDF.
