Blake's Special Christmas Baubles
08:00
One thing I love about Christmas since having Blake is
being able to enjoy the build up to Christmas with him.
In November I booked to take Blake to a craft shop where we got
to have lots of fun making this Christmas bauble and
a present for Daddy, shh.
The bauble is ceramic and I got to choose which colors to go for with our design and I decided that his hand print had be a festive red.
Once we had got a print of his hand I got to draw and paint on what I wanted which
was cute little holly.
I wrote on the back of the bauble
Blake Christmas 2015.
All I had to do then was wait a week to collect it when it had been dried and glazed.
It's definitely something I would love to do again with him.
Have you made any special Christmas decorations this year?
I'd love to know comment below.

I always think the best Christmas Trees are the ones decorated with ornaments that bring back memories. This one will certainly do that in the years to come.
ReplyDeleteAw this is lovely hun I think it is so important to create memorable presents to celebrate your children's first years on earth. It is something they will appreciate for an eternity.
ReplyDeleteAww that is so lovely, I think I need to do something like this with my kids. They all have their own tree decoration with their names on but not hand print which is sweet x
ReplyDeleteWe have done a handprint decoration every year since Monkey was born, although I think first time round we used his feet as he was only 6 months. Ive not arrange to do ours yet this year - which I must do otherwise we won't get it back in time! Thanks for the reminder x
ReplyDeleteWe have a wooden personalised star to mark my son's first Christmas, it's so exciting whe they're young isn't it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely present. You should make it into a christmas tradition and do one every year.
ReplyDeleteoh how lovely. We have made snowmen today from toilet rolls and my daughter absolutely loved it!

ReplyDeleteI love the idea of having his handprint on the bauble, how cute x
ReplyDeleteI've literally just put my eldest one of these on the tree. It's such a lovely momento but I'm terrified it'll fall off. Wish it was plastic.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this - a lovely idea. We must do some hand print crafts this week, they are a lovely keepsake. Kaz x

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, so nice to put on the tree year after year.
ReplyDeleteI've just ordered some plain white baubles from Amazon and am hoping to do some DIY print decs with Aria, hopefully they will turn out okay!
Oh that's gorgeous! We have a handprint decoration from last year that Libby made at playgroup. It's got pride of place on our Christmas tree again this year and it probably will do for years to come. Such a tiny little hand!x
ReplyDeleteI too love love the Christmas built up. It's amazing now I have Amelia. I love your bauble it looks brilliant I bet it will be a much loved gift that can be kept forever! X
ReplyDeleteThe bauble is really personalized and creative! I should convince my family to have special decorations too!
ReplyDeleteWe had a special bauble bought for us last year to mark my daughter's first Christmas but sadly, when we got it out of the loft at the weekend, it was broken. I'd like to make one like Blake's as a replacement. It's a lovely idea.
