Kirstie Allsopp Craft

Product Information

In Keep Crafting and Carry On, Kirstie will be making the most of what she has at home, with tips from some experts online, for the creative new programme which will be airing at 5pm from Monday to Friday this week. Fans of Bake-Off contestant Kim-Joy, whose famous character cakes have made her a household name, will enjoy making their own cute creations.

As well as using pretty bits from the garden to make flower arrangments and reverse dyed pillow patches, you can also create lovely artwork by drying and pressing the flowers and leaves. Join me on my voyage of discovery, meeting passionate crafters, learning the secrets of their amazing artistry and then, for my sins, trying to compete with them in craft competitions across the country. The set for the daytime show is a whole load of stuff moved out of the house into a Christmas marquee. Ideal for school holidays, it's a chance to express themselves without the constraints of a school uniform. This looks like an entirely do-able way to make your own candles - I think I'm going to make these for relatives at Christmas time and add some essential oils to make them seasonal.

Roll a roller in it, and then run the roller over the stamp, making sure the paint is evenly distributed.

Crepe paper is a wonderful material for making flower shapes because it is so soft and malleable – it has a texture that almost mimics real petals. I am very upset for anybody — not just my colleagues, not just the lovely people that I work with — but anybody in the industry who is struggling for work. Slim candles punctuate the Christmas dishes, and we spot a couple of crackers, but it is entirely festive enough.

RRP, so if you can't find a cheap copy, I strongly recommend you take your money elsewhere and spend it on a more accessible craft book. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. The type of project to make guests stop and stare, you’ll utilise the magic of quilling to bring this gorgeous arrangement to life.We loved Kirstie’s upcycled tin can dog, and we’ve got plenty of dog-themed goodies for you, including our beloved Malcolm, a firm CB favourite! The Channel 4 show will be brimming with ideas and inspiration to make your Christmas the craftiest yet, perfect for those who are on a budget and love to indulge their creative streak. Pierce the first berry stem deep into the moss, then continue adding the other berry stems at regular intervals around the wreath. Carefully lift off the stamp, then repeat the paint and rolling process until you’ve achieved the design you want.

Kirstie Allsopp is mostly known for hosting a property show on Channel 4 with Mr Phil Spencer, but she also had a few crafting-related programmes where she shared a lot of different crafts and creative exploits, whilst simultaneously showing the wonders of Crafting Britain. Lights4fun are a really reliable source for Christmas lights that are a bit more interesting than standard fairy lights – LED snowflakes, tree candles, illuminated garlands and even a sweet LED Christmas duck. I very rarely started a new project – I don’t have something on the go which is s piece of crafting which I’m starting from scratch but I’m always fixing things.Millions are pulled every year, and there’s nothing worse than a cracker that doesn’t pull with a bang. A winter arrangement will always be light on flowers, and so velvet ribbons, tassels and a length of LED lights make for a fitting alternative. We've even seen this replicated with pages from a book ( take a look here) and a string of fairy lights. Kirstie has been the number one supporter of the craft world and independent businesses, frequently expressing her love for the handmade on her social media.

The thing I like most about this is that it contains crafts that can be made for free or for quite an amount of money. Complete with a jar, potting supplies and figurines to decorate your own miniature scene that also glows in the dark. These owls might be a little more complicated than Kirstie’s loo roll birds, but they’re easier than you think. As before, we're expecting to see some exceptional crafters battling it out to produce the most impressive seasonal creations and secure one of Kirstie's coveted handmade trophies.I mean if you aren’t wildly enthusiastic about Christmas, it might not be the show for you but otherwise, we’ve got you covered. They'll be able to customise their clothes rather than your walls and will enjoy using the kit when their friends come over. To quote The Guardian: "So are all the things for which the honourable Allsopp is giving out instructions in her Homemade Christmas series actually achievable? It’s essential to have a theme – ours was hypericum berries, dried hydrangeas and reindeer moss – but dried roses are exquisite, and glittered crab apples look very Christmassy too. Kirstie also delves into the archives to bring us the best bits of her past craft shows and shows us the beneficial effects of crafting to lift our spirits and bring craft makers across the country together.
