Christmas DIY Inspiration

I love Christmas, it's my favourite season and I am looking forward  to this part of the year very much. However, it is starting to get a bit too commercial, decorations are put too early, shopping centres decorated too early as well. 

This year I have decided to prepare as every year and not follow this trend. I am preparing some new DIY projects suitable for your home and the Christmas table. Can't wait for sharing that. Until then... I want to remind you about some of my favourite Christmas DIYs from previous years. 












I hope you enjoy them and I would love to share your pictures on the blog if you decide to try them, so don't hesitate and contact me if you do.

Christmas Advent Calendar DIY


As promised, the Christmas Calendar DIY:P

That is the calendar that I made for my boyfriend this year:)I am really proud of the result and he was really happy about the gesture and my effort I put in it:)

Step 1:
Here are some things you need in order to prepare it:

24 envelopes, different sizes or what I did was to cut the small envelopes in two and have them in half
Some Christmas paper that you can use as a background
White A3 Paper, I put together 4 pieces of A3 paper in order to get the size
I also needed some colorful paper to make it more cheerful 
24 Christmas socks, those ones are textile and I have not bought them but of course you can use whatever you want to draw the numbers

Step 2:

That is the actual process, for me it took time because I have had a lot of classes so I did not have that much time to do it so I use only my evenings but can be done in a day of course.

Step 3:

This step was the most challenging for me as it represents all the presents. I first did not think about how I am going to fit them in my calendar so it was pretty difficult to place all the present at one and the same time. I am putting now every day a present in, or a clue where to find it:)

What can you put in the calendar?
I used different candy of course, games, socks etc. You can get all the inspiration you need, stopping by the local supermarkets etc.





I hope you enjoyed it:)
