Stacey Solomon makes late night homemade Christmas crackers on 3am night feed with Rose

Stacey Solomon took to creating late night Christmas items after admitting baby Rose took a while to settle.

The Loose Women panellist, 32, is well known for sharing her quirky home decor hacks and she showcased her Christmas crackers in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Stacey told her 4.9 million followers that she had a little "me time" as the tot finally settled in her Moses basket in front of the fire.

She went on to reveal she started on her brilliant homemade Christmas crackers and shared a clip of her creations being made.

In each cracker was a hat, a small candy cane, a joke and a "snapper".

Stacey captioned the video: "Even though it's late and I'll be up in a few hours for the 3am feed I needed to do something I loved just for a few minutes."

As she uploaded a video of her wrapping the card together with mistletoe, she continued: "I didn't last long. I finished 3 out of 7 before my eyes started involuntarily closing.

"But I thoroughly enjoyed myself. And it felt so nice to sit down and do them."

The former X Factor contestant's last upload of the night showed off her masterpieces. She had carefully titled each sparkly cracker with the names of family members followed by a cute love heart.

She captioned the image: "Goodnight everyone. It's going to be a nightmare trying to pull these crackers.

"But it'll make for good Christmas dinner giggles. I love them. So simple. Goodnight. I hope you've had a lovely Monday."

Earlier this month Stacey transformed her dream home Pickle Cottage into a Christmas wonderland with lavish decorations.

She penned to her followers: "Hello Winter, Our first Christmas door at pickle cottage and Rose’s first Front door (outside my tummy). Rose is in the family picture, she’s just blending in with our coats.

"So excited and a little bit emotional about our first Christmas with Rose and our first Christmas at Pickle Cottage… Let the festive adventures begin pickles."

Other famous faces, including Gemma Atkinson and Kate Lawler, also sent positive messages to the star.
