With the season full of sparkle and quiet cosy moments, it’s a wonderful time for all ages to make something by hand.
Here are some simple and cheerful ideas inspired by Miffy’s love of colour, kindness and creativity.
Paper star garlands
A classic that’s easy for beginners and relaxing for seasoned crafters.
Draw star shapes on coloured paper, cut them out, and thread them onto string.
Hang the garland along a window or shelf for a bright festive touch.

Festive footprint or handprint trees and reindeers!
Choose the option that suits you: footprints for a playful piece or handprints for a cleaner, craft-table approach.
Press your chosen shape onto card using green paint, then decorate with painted dots for tree ‘lights’, or tiny stickers.
Finish with a star on top.

Cosy candle jars
An easy make that looks lovely on any table…
Upcycle a jar with rustic charm by wrapping a length of wire around the jar’s neck, and twisting to secure. Then, add your own embellishments such as festive tags (like these Miffy gift tags from Penny Black) and sprigs of greenery.
Perfect for gifting too!

Miffy snow friend
Inspired by the iconic illustrations from Dick Bruna’s ‘miffy in the snow’ book, you can make your very own Miffy snowy friend this Christmas.
Simply cut out paper circles and attach Miffy ears, decorating with your chosen colours to hang from the tree or adorn to table décor.
