Christmas Crafting: The Christmas Arch

 

I first saw a Christmas arch last year in Fenwicks in  Brent Cross Shopping Centre.  I loved it then and told Peter I wanted one.  Anyway he said he’ll get me one for this year.  When we went to Brent Cross for last Thursday late night shopping at Fenwicks, which I must say was a lot of fun and everything was pretty much discounted up to 20 per cent, we saw this Christmas arch.  I love it still but not too keen with the white motiff.  I find it too stiff.  And the price is even stiffer at £179.00.  Well I thought why not make myself one which I can personalise the way I wanted.

So after thinking about it, I thought why not get a garden arch frame and some tinsels, baubles and pretty lights?

I found an arch frame from Argos catalogue selling for £14.99.  And I thought I should go to the many pound shops scattered around London.   I am sure with £15 – £20 worth of Christmas garlands and baubles I can make a pretty awesome Christmas arch, much, much cheaper than the Fenwicks one and according to my taste too.

I can’t wait to get started.  I am so looking forward to Christmas this year.  I am pretty sure it would be pretty quiet but the happiest one in years!!!
