Textile Christmas tree decorations

Festive textile decorations for your Christmas tree – or as attractive gift tags!

There are so many ways to decorate fabrics, and they’re ideal for making Christmas tree decorations and gift tags. Presents give so much more pleasure when they’re beautifully wrapped – and not just for the person receiving them, because making the gift tags and creative packaging can also be lots of fun! We asked a selection of creative bloggers about their favourite ideas using textiles and are delighted to present one particular idea from Clara - author of the “tastesheriff” blog - who has prepared these cute hanging Christmas decorations especially for you! They can be jazzed up with an appropriate sentiment or a motif so, whether you place them under the tree or hang them from a branch, they’re bound to be eye-catching. The edding textile markers and textile pens are perfect for adding designs to all manner of pale-coloured fabrics such as cotton, silk and linen. You can choose from a range of 20 colours in two stroke widths, including neon colours for particularly vibrant effects. What’s more, the sets are ideal for beginners and advanced crafters alike: each of the edding textile sets – blues/greens, reds and assorted base colours – contains five perfectly colour-coordinated shades.
