What’s not to love about these mini paper decorations? Absolutely nothing! Opt for our papercut designs or create multicoloured wreaths, both super easy to craft and practical for posting. Get the kids involved or why not go the extra mile by personalising them with a name, special date or photo? Your recipient is sure to love festooning them on their fir and bring them out year after year.

2. Pour your art out

If these arty canvases don’t wow your recipient, then we don’t know what will. Using paint pouring techniques, the Color Pour range from American Crafts takes the guesswork out of the process. With one complete kit, you’ll be able to achieve effortless effects in minutes without any mess… thank goodness for that! There’s also plenty of colours to choose from and extra embellishments to add a festive flair to your Christmas gifts. Visit colorpour.com to find out more.

If you’re stuck for Christmas present ideas, then we’ve got the perfect solution! We recommend trying our wallet greeting, then pop money or gift vouchers in the envelope element for quick pressies. This fast project is easy to create with your paper stash at a moment’s notice, so you can whip several up in a hurry if you need to.

4. Three ways with calligraphy

Boost your loved ones’ spirit with these painterly pick-me-ups. Pairing inky backgrounds with lettering in various finishes, our wall hangings are truly mesmerising and make for the ideal gift to send this Christmas. Go for faux lettering by playing around with shadows, try metallic effects with acrylic paints or simply print out your chosen quote, trace and cut out with a craft knife.

5. Personalise it

Send a bespoke present and you’re seriously onto a winner! We’re all huge fans of the personalisation trend, but this year the craze is going to be bigger than ever before. Take a leaf out of Sarah Louise Matthews’ book with her exquisitely engineered paper botanical monogram. Made from individual papercuttings, be sure to box it up well before you send to avoid the pieces getting damaged. Check out more of Sarah’s works of wonders at sarahlouisematthews.com.

You can just go straight for freehand drawing or give yourself a guide line to follow if you’re unsure on how to get started.
