The big day is almost upon us!
The lights are up, the presents are wrapped and Santa Claus is coming to town.

We’ve collected some of our favourite festive DIY projects, that the whole family can get involved with. So, scroll on for fun Christmas crafts your kids will love.
Get Them Out The House And Creative, With Fun And Festive Decorations
Who says you can’t be active and creative?
While the weather outside is frightful, this craft is so delightful! Nice weather might be hard to come by in our part of the world, but we know how important it is to get the kids out of the house. Winter walks are a staple of the season, so why not encourage your kids to make something creative out of it? These Pinecone Gnomes are adorable and take little to no effort to make.
We love this tutorial from Bowdabara, and you can even turn them into terrific tree decorations. All you need is a few pinecones and some basic supplies including felt, glue and a button for the nose. These holiday gnomes are a wonderful way to keep the kids entertained, and gets your little ones moving and crafting.

Here at Taylor’s on the High Street, we love upcycling. From dressers to sofas there’s really nothing you can’t do with a bit of creativity and determination!
