Fun Christmas Craft Made From Tubes

Did you ever go carol singing as a child? I did. My parents would take us to visit the elderly and sing to them each Christmas season and it was always a special feeling.

As I got older I took part in Carol’s services and as an adult, my mum bought me the most beautiful Christmas book filled with all the Christmas songs you can think of. I love it!

Today we have a super cute Christmas craft. I know this is just so so cute and am so excited to share it here on The Inspiration Edit. Enjoy.
