Folksy Handmade - Contemporary Christmas

Suncatcher Christmas Trees

I just worked out how many Folksy Fridays there are left until Christmas. Taking out the last Friday before Christmas, because it's past the last posting date, there are only 8. So I think it's about time I started my Gift Ideas and Christmas Decoration Collections. I'll be doing gift lists aimed at certain people, and collections of similar style decorations to help give a bit of Christmas inspiration. I love a good root around for the Christmas Folksy Fridays. There's always some gems that I find in all the new shops I come across.

Anyway, this week I'm doing Contemporary Christmas. So here is a selection of decorations, cards, and  tags with a modern look and feel.

For more details on any of the items click on the pic to be taken to the shop.

Folksy Handmade Christmas - Traditional






Stained Glass Look Mosaic Baubles



This is the latest in my Christmas decoration collections from Folksy.com. I've called the selection traditional. It kind of is because there's robins, candles, holly, an advent calender etc. But, the items are done in a contemporary way too.

There is a really good selection of crafts in this one as well - knitting, patchwork, paper quilling, sewing, modelling, florestry (I think you call working with foliage that too, don't you?), mosaic...  

See what you think -

Folk Style Red & White Bauble


As I've been re-inspired to make some more Christmas decorations, I've also been inspired to find other similar themed decorations on Folksy.com to put together on a Pinterest board.

I will be putting 4 boards together, and this is the first one.

This is my collection of decorations ideas for a Swedish folk style Christmas -
