From the editor WOODEN

CHRISTMAS

SET

This year has flown by so quickly! We still remember getting our children ready for their first day of school (yes, we both had prep kids this year!) and poof! Now the Christmas season is upon us. But this means that it's handmade shopping time. For your family, for your friends, for your kids teachers, and for YOURSELF!!! The guide is filled with so many gift giving ideas, right down to buying gifts for someone who has everything. There are also two craft activities, a recipe for delicious gingerbread pudding biscuits, and a colouring in sheet for the kids (or adults). As Christmas comes closer, we get ready to spend more time with family, relax, and reflect on the year. So grab your wine and your favourite cheese/biscuits/chocolate/lollies, sit back and shop at your leisure with Love Australian Handmade!

Cheers, Susan & Anh. PAGE 03 |

Christmas Wattle Ornament BY NAOMI FROM ENCHANTED ITEMS BY NAOMI

I love our Aussie Summer Christmases, we are so lucky to be able to enjoy the outdoors on Christmas day. For our family we have a big BBQ lunch at home and then head down to the beach in the afternoon…I have always found it difficult to find Australian themed Christmas Decorations, so I make them myself. You can find my Australian Animal themed Christmas Ornaments right HERE in the Love Australian Handmade Gift Guide. Here is a simple Australian themed decoration that you can try… what is more Australian than our own Native plant; the Golden Wattle...

Materials Makin’s Clay®, The No Bake Clay® Olive Green, Green Leaf and Yellow (air dry polymer clay). Bronze tone jump rings assorted sizes 0.4mm and 0.8mm Bronze tone Eye Pin Eyelets with thread 0.8mm size Acrylic roller or a Clay machine Exacto Knife A small balling tool or toothpick Pin Vise Hand Drill (to drill small holes in the leaves after the clay is dry, but the holes can place while the clay is wet).

CHRISTMAS WATTLE ORNAMENT


Christmas Wattle Ornament BY NAOMI FROM ENCHANTED ITEMS BY NAOMI

Instructions: Roll out your Makin's Clay® the olive green and green leaf, to the thickest setting on your clay machine or roll to 0.4mm thickness, on to a title or a non stick craft mat. Using your Exacto Knife cut leaf shapes out in different lengths. I made 5 leaves for this ornament. Tip - can lightly trace a leaf shape onto the clay first, once happy with the shapes cut them out. Smooth the cut edges with your finger tips.

Lightly press in the centre downwards with a toothpick or a smooth edge knife, a line for the leaf vane, do not press down too hard to cut the clay. Add the little holes with a toothpick to the top thickest part of the leaf (for the jump rings later), if you don't have a small Pin Vise Hand Drill.

Lay the leaves on an empty squished toilet roll. This will give a slight curve to the leaf.

Roll the Makin's Clay® Yellow into little balls, in assorted sizes, ranging from 0.8mm to 0.4mm. Then use a small balling tool or toothpick to make small indents/holes, giving the texture look of the wattle flower. I made 7 wattle flowers.

CHRISTMAS WATTLE ORNAMENT


Christmas Wattle Ornament BY NAOMI FROM ENCHANTED ITEMS BY NAOMI

Allow to dry for 24 hours.

Once dry, add the jump ring holes into the leaves using the Pin Vise Hand Drill. Add larger 0.8mm jump rings to the holes using your pliers,then screw the Eye Pin Eyelets into the yellow wattle balls. Tip - if you would like a double wattle use an Eyelet pin and thread it through the 2 balls.

Loop the leaves together using the jump rings. Place the larger leaf in the middle and the others around it, even place some leaves at the back of the main leaves to give a fuller look to the ornament.

Use the smaller jump rings to group two or three wattle balls together. Then loop the wattle balls onto the larger leaf jump rings.

Finish off the ornament by threading a green silk ribbon to hang it on.

Christmas Play Dough - 2 Ways BY MEL FROM CREATIVE MAKES

Materials

needed to make playdough base (see individual recipes for additions for green playdough and

scented playdough: 2 cups Plain Flour

2 tbsp Cooking oil

4 tbsp Cream of Tartar

Mixing Bowl

1 cup Salt

Wooden spoon

2 cups hot Water

Jug

Process: Mix together 2 Cups of flour, 4 tbsp cream of tartar and 2 tbsp oil in a large mixing bowl. - If you are making the green Christmas Playdough add 2 tbsp of the Matcha powder to the flour and mix. - If you are making the Christmas Scented playdough add a total of 6-8 tsp of ground Christmas spices (e.g. cinnamon, cloves, ginger, or nutmeg) and mix. In the jug pour two cups of hot water (water needs to be slightly cooled boiling water, hot water from the tap doesn’t dissolve the salt as well). Mix 1 cup of salt into water until dissolved (not all the salt may dissolve, just dissolve it as much as possible)

Slowly pour water into mixing bowl that contains the flour, being careful not to splash as the water is hot. Combine using the mixing spoon until dough comes together. Tip dough out onto bench and knead until smooth. You may need to wait until it has cooled slightly before kneading as the mixture may be hot.

The cream of tartar and salt allow the playdough to keep in an airtight container for up to 6 months. PAGE 19 |

Conversation Starters What can you hear when you are crushing the spices? What can you smell? What can you see is happening to the spices when you crush them? Why do you think the spices are changing? What does the playdough smell like without the spices? How does it feel? What does it look like? What do you think will happen to the playdough when you mix them in? Now that you have put them into the playdough, what do you notice? What does the playdough smell like now that the herbs/spices/oils are mixed in? How does it feel? What does it look like? What can you make? Can you make a ball/sausage? PAGE 21 |
