WE ALL love a Christmas craft - especially if it’s one we can get the kids involved with to keep them busy during the half-term. Thankfully, Stacey Solomon has shared an easy festive craft to get done just in time for Christmas and it’s basically free.

The influencer shared her top arts and crafts on the BBC Three show Stacey Soloman's Crafty Christmas. This time she created large Christmas baubles that cost nothing to make to hang outside your house or on the tree (if it’s big enough). She first started by dragging her husband Joe Swash outside into the garden to pick some shrubbery and fern.

If your garden doesn't have any fern or greenery growing at the moment - you can always get the kids out of the house to grab some and keep them busy. Once done, she got two flower baskets and held them together with zip ties. You can purchase the metal flower baskets for around £5 in most garden centres if you don't have any lying about in your shed already.

Stacey then wrapped fairy lights around the wire of the baskets. “Making your own Christmas statement piece can be as cheap as chips,” she said. “These hanging baskets I already had, these (the foliage) are from the garden, the only thing I’ve bought is the lights so this is basically a free make.”.

After, Stacey took the foliage she had collected from the garden and wrapped it around the wires of the hanging basket as well. Once the ball was fully covered in the greenery, Stacey then added ribbons and smaller baubles for an extra festive finishing touch.
