Hand made Christmas decorations in neutrals add a smart artisanal look to your Christmas decorating. Here’s an idea for making craft-inspired decorations from string or jute twine. They look lovely on a tree, a branch, and even hanging in a cluster.
You could try choosing three colours (including natural) and making lots in three or four shapes and just covering your tree with those for a simplified crafty look. You can also try bunching them together for a centerpiece or table decoration. In another tutorial to come we’ll show you how to added them to a Christmas wreath to hang on your door.
This technique came from Lynn Pavey and uses very simple materials you most likely have on hand – jute or cotton twine and a cornflour and water paste. The secret is to wrap them around a frame which creates the shape and let them dry. The frames can be made with toothpicks plugged into a corkboard, or by wrapping the string around jars (covered in a strip of baking paper first).
Materials you’ll need
Wire and fabric how to
To make wire petals for flowers:
1. Twist wire around a dowel to secure the center, then slide it off the dowel. Use an 18" piece of wire for bouquet flowers, leaving 8" tails.
2. Pull the wire tails to shape narrow petals using a dowel or marker.
3. Apply glue to one side of the petal wire and attach fabric, pressing to bond the glue. Let dry before optional stiffening or assembly.

Tassel lanyard
A lanyard for your keys
Do you keep your keys on a lanyard? I started a couple of years ago when I was in and out of the car with a baby in a capsule and a small child. I needed two free hands and easy access to car and front door keys. The long length of lanyard could always be grabbed on the way out, then slung around my neck when shuffling between front door, car, pram, drop off point.
Even if you’re not juggling those things, I think it’s worth having keys at the ready when you’re getting in and out of your home or car. Less time spent rummaging through the dark bottomless pit of a handbag alone, the better.
However, fast forward a couple of years and I still seem to be sporting the same freebie lanyard with a logo of a football team. With red and white stripes, it clashes perfectly with most of my clothes. Nice accessory! (not).
Time for the “eye catching” lanyard to go and be replaced with something more appealing. Since tassels are the thing right now, they are the decorative detail to add to a key ring and then make a lanyard.
Making the Tassel
There are different way to tackle tassel-making depending upon whether you use thread or cut leather. For this tutorial I used the tassel making technique perfected here by Fall for DIY (blog) when they ran a “tassel happy challenge” on Instagram. I’ve used Francesca’s cardboard template design. It’s a bit like making a pom pom.
I’ve also played around with different styles for tying them together, embellishing (decorating) and attaching the tassel to a clip. Do the same and see what you prefer.
Enjoy having a smart tassel lanyard for your keys.
A note about materials
I bought some “D” ring clips from Lincraft (Haberdashery and Craft supplies in Australia) but you can easily use metal circle clips, or swivel hooks. I’ve re-used the swivel hooks from old promotional lanyards.
I also used a copper adhesive tape for effect on the tassel. My roll came from Japan, but you can buy copper and aluminium tape at hardware stores. Otherwise fabric tape is another option.
I’ve used mock-suede leather thonging I found from haberdashery supplies, but real leather thonging would be a nicer option.

- 2. Stitch and assemble the orchid according to the collection instructions.
- 3. Make a bow from organdy ribbon (you’ll need about 24” yard) – choose colors to match your flower, or stitch your flower to match your ribbon!
- 4. Create four loops (or more if desired). For an even bow, make loops on alternate sides in a figure-8 pattern.
- 5. Use a piece of floral wire approximately 4” long. Twist it around the center of your ribbon to secure.
- 6. Twist the tails of your wire together – you will use this “stem” to attach the ribbon to your corsage.
- 7. Choose some silk floral accent floral pieces, and arrange as desired behind your lace flower.
- 8. Align the stems of your accent florals with the floral wire at the bottom of your orchid. Hold together with one hand. With the other hand, begin to wrap the pieces together with floral tape.
- 9. Continue to wrap with floral tape. You may need to cut off some of the floral wire and floral stems. Leave about 1 1/2” of stem at the bottom of the orchid.
- 10. Now, add your ribbon, aligning the wire “tail” with the orchid stem. Wrap stem and wire together with floral tape. If creating a lapel corsage, pin on with a corsage pin.
- 11. To create a wristlet, form a circle of elastic and stitch together.
- 12. Use a double seam to secure the elastic together. Be sure to make the elastic circle small enough that it has to stretch slightly in order to fit.
- 13. Align the elastic circle with the stem, placing the seam against the stem so it will not show.
- 14. Secure the elastic to the corsage with a piece of wire.
- 15. Wrap both the wire and elastic with floral tape. Tear off the tail of the floral tape and wrap it back around the stem to secure the end of the tape. Stretch the tape as you wrap the tail to secure it tightly.
- 16. And now you’re ready to present your gift! Mom will love showing off her corsage on her special day!
