DIY Glittery wreath with lots of tinsel
…yeah, I know, I kind of went overboard with this wreath-making business! This one is a lovely silver one, with lots of tinsel and luscious red berries and leaves. I’m going all in with wreath making this year! It’s just so much fun, and so easy – just take a styrofoam wreath, wrap it with …
DIY Wintery jar with red strings
This was a fun and fast DIY! I took some air drying clay, rolled it quite thin with a rolling pin. I used some tulle netting when I rolled the clay the last time, to get some structure. I lay the sheet of clay around an empty washed jar. I made sure the edges overlapped. …
DIY Gingerbread House – The Fairy House 2019
This year I wanted to try something new – to make a wonky rooftop that you sometimes see on Fairy Houses (made for the garden, or such). But this one turned out not wonky enough, and it might be inhabited by a tiny tomtenisse! We can see lights twinkling from inside the house at night, …

DIY Wintery Wreath
I’ve been making lots of wreaths lately, and this was one of the most fun! I had a lot of old fake greens left from a broken Christmas garland, so I wrapped that around a styrofoam wreath. I glued lots of little trees along the wreath, making a wintery forest. I placed some mushrooms among …
DIY Advent Candles
I seem to collect old things that are still pretty, but aren’t in use any more. I’ve had these cookie molds for years, and I only just recently realized what I wanted to do with them. They were too rusty to use for cookies, but they are just perfect for our advent candles! I glued …

DIY Advent Calendar
When I was little my mother used to make these very elaborate Christmas Calendars, with 24 packages for both my brother and I to open every day. It was heavenly! And then I became a mother and no energy was left in me for making these calendars. We bought store-bought calendars for the kids most …
