Over Christmas not only are you allowed to slow down, but some proper rest and recuperation – including pottering about in comfortable clothes – are positively encouraged. With this in mind, we have designed comfy handmade outfits for the whole family, so you can look good (and festive) while you’re having a lie-in. The t-shirts are all printed with the same design. We’ve varied the colours a bit. First, cut out the copied templates, transfer them to the foam, and cut them all out. Stick the foam motifs on to the outside of a transparent CD case.

Knitting is a craft where yarn is turned into fabric or garments using two or more needles that interlock loops of yarn. By creating and manipulating these loops, it is possible to form a wide range of patterns and designs. Knitting can be done with various materials such as wool, cotton, silk, or synthetic fibers to create objects such as hats, scarves, shawls, sweaters, blankets, and much more.

This is a lovely gift for anyone who needs to stash their toiletries safely when traveling. The bag is knitted completely in garter stitch. Loosely cast on 27 stitches in blue. Work the 1st row in blue, then 2 rows in white (with yarn doubled), then 2 rows in blue. Continue in these alternating colours. Finish when the piece measures about 25cm (10in) ending on a blue row, and cast off loosely on the reverse side. The knitted piece should measure about 26 × 20cm (10 × 8in). Cosmetic Bags

These little crystal-shaped soaps are quick to make and can be enriched with various scents, or combined with herb leaves and flower petals. This DIY project isn’t just for Christmas: if you make enough, it should provide a wonderfully fragrant reminder of your gift all year round. Heat some water in a large saucepan. Then suspend a smaller saucepan, or heatproof bowl, over the larger one, add the raw soap and melt it in this bain-marie. Soap diamonds

From its position at the window, or on a door, it listens closely to what the people who live in the home want for Christmas, and also protects the family from conflict and upset during the festive season. Fold the red craft felt in half widthways, lay the cut-out template on it and trace the outline. The straight edge should be lined up flush with the folded-over edge of the fabric. Then cut out the good luck angel.

Use a stamp to print little motifs on the individual Advent calendar pouches, which you can then hang up where you choose.

These atmospheric rings are a lovely idea for a gift, or for decorating bedrooms, especially children’s rooms. These are just right for this time of contemplation and help bring sweet dreams to overstimulated minds, particularly for children at Christmas!

Lebkuchen Hearts are a classic German tradition and should be on every Christmas tree! Nibbling is positively encouraged. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6) and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Heat the honey, sugar, and butter in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Step 2: Leave the mixture to cool slightly, then stir in the cocoa, ground almonds, spices, egg, and salt. Next add the flour and baking powder and mix until you have a smooth dough.
