The Crafty Christmas Tutorial Link-Up: Lots of Free Christmas Tutorials!

Crafty Christmas Link-Up day is here! Woohoo!

When I suggested last month that it would be fun to do a festive tutorial link-up I had no idea so many bloggers would sign up. I have been completely thrilled by how many bloggers have joined in with the link-up and totally delighted by everyone's projects.

Just look at all this crafty goodness!


Everyone taking part shared a free Christmas tutorial or pattern on their blog yesterday... and now we get to share links to everyone's projects and share the crafty Christmas love :)

There's a wide range of different festive makes to choose from, and lots of different crafts too: knitting, crochet, embroidery, sewing, baking, cross stitch, printing, and more!


Follow the links in this post to see each tutorial, and get your Christmas craft on!

Oh, and if you make any of the projects, do let the bloggers know - it's always lovely to hear from people who have made things from tutorials you've shared.
