Well I never got round to varnishing my salt dough decorations and now they've gone soft from being sat in the freezing conservatory for weeks lol!

How is everyone else doing with their crafty things?

 

[bigbetty]

I'm doing some cupcakes for my local W.I Christmas party and I'm going to pipe butter icing on top to look like Christmas trees! I've never attempted anything like it before so have been watching lots of youtube videos lol.

If anyone has any hints or tips I'd be very grateful to hear them x

I made a first christmas bauble for my best friends baby:

Bought plain bauble, used ceramic paint to do text and paint on hearts, and tied with pretty ribbon! Going to do Oscar one next with just his name on the front and polkadots!

Also going to attempt salt dough handprints for the family, god help me, hope they will work. Ill post pics when done
