Christmas Crafts

I am now preparing crafts for Christmas, yes I know it's still early and we've not had Halloween but you can't be too ready!

You can make your own icicles with nothing more than an old cola or lemonade bottle.

Cut the top off and also the bottom, they don't have to be done perfectly, a few uneven edges will only add to the charm.

Then cut thin strips off the bottle, going up rather than across.

When you have all of your strips ready light a candle.

Just hold each strip quite high up over the candle and as each section starts to heat up give it a twist, then move the strip along to twist the next bit.

They look pretty good.
