Today is officially the first day of Winter. Even though, we start to celebrate it sooner thanks to Christmas. And since we are 3 days away from Christmas Eve, I think is starting to becoming a bit later for making DIYs especially for this joyful season. So I came up with a winter DIY. It still...
I don’t even know where I should start. Maybe with putting up the decoration. I hate to miss the 1st of December since it’s a holiday in Portugal no matter if it lands on a weekday or weekend, people are home and free to put up the decorations. I’ve always had a fake tree my entire...
I was planning on doing a few giant paper stars to put up on my grey wall to give some fun to the room. I didn’t want to write a post about it since it’s just folding a piece of paper and attach it to the wall. But then I didn’t get around to doing it...
I’ve always liked miniatures, but there is something in tiny paper Christmas villages that make them so sweet and adorable. For the past two years, I’ve been dribbling over Pinterest to thousands of pictures of them and wishing to make some. Today is the day! Some people go full on dedicated to making them beautiful...
I’ve been so excited to share this DIY with you. This was one of my first Christmas ideas for this year and I’ve been testing different options. Firstly this craft joins two types of garlands one horizontal and one vertical. Next, is a mixture of texture, colour and size turning something mundane into something vibrant. And...
When it comes to patterns and colours I’m really fussy and when I’m making stuff I’m even fussier. I like everything to be perfect or, at least, as neat as possible. Clean cuts and perfect fits are my heavens and so when I was wrapping my fake Christmas gifts I also wanted to add some boxes...
Last year, I manage to make a snowman between all the university madness by the end of the semester. It actually was in the Christmas tree but it was everything so rushed and stressful I didn’t even bother to do a proper blog post about it. Although this year is different and today is time for...
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 afterward – which I can’t complain about but still. As...
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...
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...
