DIY Christmas decorations: paper stars, pinecone wreath, salt-dough ornaments

Three classic home crafts for Christmas: paper star lanterns in a window, a wreath of pinecones on a door and salt-dough ornaments on a tree. Each is shown finished in daylight, glowing in evening light and in a close look at the handmade texture. Families use them to choose a craft to make together. Type a twist, such as kids crafts or felt ornaments, and the crafts are asked to follow it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
