We love the idea of sending and receiving greetings cards over the festive season, but we hate the idea of them all just being thrown away in the New Year. Instead, why not make a card that the recipient will keep and treasure for years? That’s the idea with this project. Learn how to sew a foundation pieced tree decoration mounted onto a greeting card, perfect to send to your friends and loved ones.

We challenge you to make a little art every day this festive season. Let’s keep it manageable with these fun tags. Laura set this project just after she had Amelie when time for anything creative was tight, but it’s still a great project to try!

You’ll find a printable sheet of tags to get you started.

Encourage all the family to join in making salt dough decorations, great for present toppers and decorating the tree.

Please note, we’ve made several batches of this recipe using cornflour with great success. However, some viewers have had problems with the mixture being really runny. We’re not sure why, but if the same happens to you, just substitute with regular plain flour. And if you’re a scientist and know why this sometimes happens we’d love to know!
