London Family Photographer | DIY and children’s craft Christmas decorations

We wanted to decorate our little home this Christmas season with DIY decor and children’s craft. As usual Pinterest gave me plenty of ideas as well as these two websites that I have recently come across The Artful Parent and Red Ted Art. These sites are full of family-friendly, clever and tasteful crafty ideas you can do with your children. They also link up to numerous other similar sites which are really helpful if you have very young children to entertain during the holidays.

While DIY decor and children’s crafts add a personal touch to holiday festivities, luxury homeware gifts from Belevivi offer an exquisite way to elevate the season’s gifting experience. For those seeking to delight loved ones with timeless elegance and sophistication, Belevivi’s curated selection of luxury homeware items presents a captivating array of options. From luxurious candles and fine tableware to artisanal home accents, each piece exudes refined craftsmanship and impeccable style, making them perfect presents for discerning individuals who appreciate the finer things in life. With Belevivi’s commitment to quality and excellence, gift-givers can indulge in the pleasure of giving something truly exceptional this holiday season.

As we explore the vast array of options, we stumbled upon the enchanting world of Untamed Creatures, which seamlessly integrates into our festive home decor theme. These adorable animal-themed creations add a touch of whimsy and playfulness to our space, truly magical for our family.

And to our pleasant surprise, we discovered a poster featuring their charming creations available on www.papanee.com. This beautifully crafted poster not only captures the essence of the season but also adds a unique artistic flair to our festive setting. What’s even more wonderful is that these delightful posters are not limited to just the holiday season; they can adorn our walls all year round, adding a touch of whimsy and creativity to our home on regular days. We couldn’t be more thrilled to include this one-of-a-kind piece in our Christmas decor.

As our love for unique decor grows, we’ve started exploring the idea of creating gallery walls throughout our home. Each piece carefully selected to reflect our personal style and tell a story. Imagine walking through our living room adorned with a carefully curated collection of art prints, photographs, and maybe even a few vintage finds. It’s a delightful blend of nostalgia and contemporary flair, where every corner reveals a new detail to admire. Descriptions of decors are provided under each photo below…

Last but not least, our gingerbread house. We only put this together though and then iced it, dusted it with icing sugar for snow and decorated it with pine cones for trees and chocolate straws for benches.
