I love to see a Christmas tree fully decorated, but the best part is the presents underneath. If a tree doesn’t have presents it feels naked to me. So I thought about wrapping a few empty boxes. Although, it will take so much space in the attic afterwards – which I can’t complain about but still. As a lightning streak, I thought what if the boxes weren’t closed? What if I wrap them and somehow leave one side open to be able to use the box later for storage? This idea was inspired by Studio DIY and the post in 2015 of the Emoji Gift Wrap. There are so many ideas on how you can make beautiful boxes to gift to someone but no ones say you are obligated to actually give them. So instead of just spending your time wrapping presents beautifully for then later be ripped off, why …
We are already 5 days in December. How did this happen? It feels like yesterday was the 1st, time does fly during Christmas. Without further ado let’s focus on the DIY since that is what you are here for. I didn’t want to leave this craft for later because it takes a few hours to do. Although it’s so simple! As you have already seen in the title and the featured image, today is all about snowflakes! I wanted to do something with it and on one of my trips to inspiration land aka Pinterest, I was curious to see what people were doing with snowflakes and garlands. Despite the usual that I was expecting to find, I also cross path with a 3D snowflake that was from eBay or any other site that you can buy it. I was sure I could do it myself, which is all the …
We don’t like to keep decorating the tree with the same ornaments over and over again, right?Although the ornaments can be expensive and it becomes pointless to spend that much amount of money in baubles when it could be saved or use for presents. Also, if you keep buying new baubles every year you’ll start to have a collection of old ones that will never get to see the light of day again. I own about 4 sets of baubles in different colours from red, purple, gold and silver. Without mentioning the older bits and pieces that just appeared. Some offered by my grandparents and other I have no idea. Bottom line, I always try to decorate the tree differently every year and I don’t know how but I have been managing to do it. Although it gets to a point where I see the older ones just sitting there …
Merry Christmas, Happy Blogmas!! We are back on the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas music blasting from the speakers, the shops are fully decorated, the fire is cracking and the TV only streams Christmas movies. It’s the best. I can’t even believe today is the first day of The 12 Crafty Days aka blogmas. As I said before in my announcement post, today won’t be a craft, instead of a little walk through what I have done to decorate my office for this special occasion. For the first time, I have a tree of my own to keep me company on the working days and keep my Christmas spirit up. I must say it matches my height. Also, I have two special DIYs to decorate it. The Snowed Ornaments, which are so cute and easy to do, and the Gifts. They might seem regular presents but in fact, …
* This post might contain affiliated links. To know more visit my Disclaimer page. Christmas is my favourite time of the year and, once you know it, you have flown by from the 1st of December to the 25th. So I’m always looking for ideas to make those 24 days the must magical. On the last two years, I’ve tried to post every day until Christmas (back on my old blog) but it takes a crazy amount of time, preparation and creativity to come up with 24 different ideas. I prefer quality over quantity so I decided to give it a twist. I’m still be going to post every day, but it will be different types of content. From the 1st to the 23rd (only the odd days) I’ll be posting DIYs and from the 2nd to the 24th (only the even days) it will be posting reading updates for …
