Not content to stop with such gloriousness, Harper Collins then asked me and eleven other bloggers to get creative for the 12 Days of Grinchmas! If you are taking photographs of a long line of Grinch hats do remove two green baubles from the end of the line or your photo will look vaguely phallic which is NOT the image you were after!

Some of our faces didn’t look quite right so some of these baubles are two faced! Next we moved on to hat making. We drew circles onto red felt using the base of a coffee tin as a template, cut them out and then cut a line up to the centre of each circle. We also cut a little circle at the top of the line. The answer is clear…. Easy Grinch Christmas Baubles! All you need to make these easy Grinch Christmas baubles is… Green Christmas Baubles (the matt ones work best, I found out after I’d taken this prep photo that the faces disappear into the shiny ones. Unlike me who, as you can see, is reflected in the shiny ones in this photo – so professional!) Once they were dry all we had to do was tie our string to the top of our Grinch Christmas Baubles and then feed it through the hole in the top of the hat – hey presto, Easy Grinch Christmas Baubles!First of all I had a good look through How the Grinch Stole Christmas and copied some facial expressions. My first attempts were, apparently, far too nice to be the Grinch so I ran these past my editorial team (my 17 year old daughter and her friends) and got the seal of approval. We rolled each circle into a cone and glued it in place. The hole at the top would make sure we could feed our hanging string through later. Pop over to the Grinchmas Hub to see what everyone else came up with for the Twelve Days of Grinchmas and have a very Grinchy Christmas! You can even Grinchify yourself while you’re there, like I did!
