Stacey Solomon’s Crafty Christmas is sickly sweet ...Middle East

This year’s instalment of Stacey Solomon’s Crafty Christmas, in which she teaches us how to make decorations and gifts at home, hits levels of wholesome as yet unmapped by man. “You don’t need loads of money to make Christmas special,” she pronounces sweetly during the first few minutes. Normally, I would recoil from such earnestness, but since it’s Solomon at the helm, I’m willing to give myself over to her festive spirit.

There’s no question that Crafty Christmas walks its “people-over-presents” walk rather than just paying sugar-sweet lip service to it. Rather than just going to the shops, Solomon fixes beloved old things – like her grandmother’s broken vase with gold kintsugi glue – as well as giving new ones, and flies distant family members in to celebrate.

Stacey Solomon is the relatable domestic goddess of the authenticity generation

Luckily, the sickly sweetness is offset by the angel’s wonky facial expression: “It will always remind us: don’t drink too much at Christmas,” Solomon quips. Phew.

To that end, Dilly Carter – Sort Your Life Out’s organiser extraordinaire – drops by to make a batch of body butter for the care home staff, while Solomon’s sister Gemma helps with a pair of no-sew pillows for twin residents Margaret and Annie. Both projects looked doable, even for a crafting novice like me.

If you’re looking to Solomon purely for crafting ideas, you’ll find plenty of cheap, impactful and achievable options. But hanging the suggestions around one event gives Crafty Christmas structure, allowing it to say more about the festive season than just a simple list of tips. With the care home’s party in full swing, Solomon belting out Tony’s favourite song from Les Mis – I won’t blame you for joining him in a little cry.
