Red Hessian made form 100% Jute. Christmas is the time of year when we sit in front of the fire to keep cosy and find our favourite craft to create something memorable for our favourite people. What about a tradition of crafting new Christmas decorations with the kids so your tree is full of memories and not just plastic. My eldest and I go every year to a Christmas Fair and have chosen a new decoration since the year he was born...he is 19 now, but I have started focusing more on something home made with the smallest littles in the house. Why not start your own tradition and see what you can come up with for your tree this year.
