🎄✨ Get ready to transform your Christmas decorating into a fun family fiesta with Marnie Simpson’s festive hack! The Geordie Shore star has found the perfect way to make the holidays extra special, especially after welcoming her daughter, Kixee, earlier this year. Instead of going for the usual stockings and bells, Marnie turned to a bargain online retailer, adding a DIY twist to the decorations with her sons, Rox and Oax. 🎨
Marnie turned an ordinary day into a DIY Christmas craft session, letting the boys take the lead. Armed with artificial cedar wreaths, pine branches, berry stems, garlands, lights, ribbons, and glitter, they dove into the creative process. To make it even more festive, Marnie got her boys matching Christmas pyjamas, making it a full-on family moment. The boys picked their favourite pieces, wrapping berry stems around branches and threading lights through the tree, all while adding ribbons and glitter for a touch of sparkle. The result? A Christmas tree that perfectly captured their imagination! 🌟
“The boys have absolutely loved it, and Casey and I really enjoyed it as well,” Marnie shared. “They get so excited about making things — arts and crafts, anything that truly has their stamp on it.” Marnie’s approach is part of a growing trend in the UK, with more people embracing handmade decorations to save money and add a unique touch.
Of course, Marnie couldn’t resist picking up some extra festive goodies—a Christmas countdown calendar, wooden hat and boot trays, and decorative letters to complete their holiday look. Once the decorations were set, the family ended the day by penning letters to Santa and enjoying some snacks together. 🎅🍪
“We’ve had the most fabulous, wholesome day,” Marnie said. “The boys loved making their own decorations, and I think this is definitely going to be a tradition in this house.” Ready to start your own family tradition? 🎁🖌️ #ChristmasCrafts #FamilyFun #DIYDecorating
