Twentieth day of December

Every craft shop sell these paper boxes. You can decorate them with many different techniques. You can for example paint them, use decoupage or other paper craft. You don't need to cover all the surface if you don't want to. Just think who is going to get it and where it is going to be used so you easily can discover how to decorate it. Don't forget to think what's going to be inside.



Nineteenth day of December

It is always a challenge to make a perfect tassel for your projet. Prym's Pompon-Set doesn't help if you desire tassel making to be faster, easier and more practical. The instructions are poor and by following them you end up in the middle of mess.

To make it better use more yarn and layers of yarns so the yarn won't slip away through the hole after cutting before finishing.

These tassels are both made by the same size frame. Right sided is made according the instructions and the left sided is made by more layers. At the end the only benefit to use this set is that spinning the yarn around the frame is easier than using the old traditional paper frame which has a hole in the middle of it.

I am not satisfied with this Pompon-Set but the fact is tassels are pretty and useful. You can do many kind of them with many colors -also mixing different colors together.

Eighteenth day of Decemebr

This is designed and made by a small bead addict. It is a Christmas gift for her grandmother. As you can see bead work is fun and easy -even a child can do it! To make your or someone else's bead work easier and not so frustrating buy locks and knot holders. In that way everything will stay all right without breaking in use.

Seventeenth day of December

A little girl asked me if I could help her to make a Christmas gift for her mother. I asked what does her mother like. After thinking a little bit she said she likes to write her diary. So we decided to make a small diary. I included thick paper between the writing pages. The idea is that the girl decorates the thick papers and her mom can write on white empty pages. Unfortunately I can't publish the decorated diary because it is very personalized. :) But the idea is what I wanted to show you. :) You need only card making papers and copy papers. For sure some office can attach the pages together with a small fee.

Sixteenth day of December

If you like to have new curtains but you can't sew well you can still make it. Buy pretty pritend fabric and sew simple styled curtains. They will look pretty for sure! Sale baskets can hide treasures at the fabric shop so waste your time discovering them.

First sew the sides, then the bottom hem and the upper hem for the last. Simple and fast.
