Walnut DIYs & Ideas
We love love love Walnut DIYs & Ideas. Crafting with Walnuts is something that I have great memories from as a child – in traditional German Christmas crafting – walnuts, oranges and other edible items feature in making fun little Santa clauses and other walnut Christmas decorations. As a child, I particularly adored making Walnut Babies – little walnut ornaments resembling a baby in a cot. Just too cute. I hope I can persuade you today, that Walnut Crafts are indeed wonderful and fun and that you will have a go at crafting with what I consider a real seasonal craft material (though I may have snuck in the odd “non seasonal” walnut craft below.
You can usually find whole walnuts in supermarkets around Christmas time, but I find small “ethnic” stores carry them all year round. You can also buy them online here US/ UK (affiliate links).
