Käbi-kuusk. Okstest kuusk. SÜnksi puu :) Paper Pom Tutorial. Guest post by Lindsey Buck of The Hive If you’ve ever ordered Paper Poms from BHLDN, your first thought may have been something like this (especially if you’ve never dealt with paper poms before): What is this?

Paper Pom Tutorial

I thought it was a paper pom and not a fan. Do I take the wire middle off? I will never get this to look as beautiful as BHLDN! I eventually asked BHLDN for help and it ended up being a very obvious process, so here is my version of the steps (after the jump): Step 1: Carefully pull back each tissue layer, one at a time. Step 1 Tip: As you continue pulling layers, carefully stuff your fingers behind & all the way down each layer to help pull the tissue paper up from the center of the paper pom. Once you’ve completed one end of the tissue layers, it should look like a hydrangea bouquet. Step 2: Continue repeating Step 1 on the other end of the paper pom.

Step 3: Find a place to hang or display it—there are little wire loops on the back of each paper pom for easy hanging. The Hive. Paberroosid. Why not brighten up your gloomy winter day, by making your own paper flowers.

This super simple project takes only about 5 mins and is sure to brighten any room. Add them to twigs or branches for an instant bouquet or simply throw them in a bowl. Originally created by Martha Stewart, Wendy from DoziDesign has whipped up a quick tutorial. Head on over there and start making flowers to your heart’s content.

X-mas niidirull-puu. Last week I told you I was going to make some little trees for using all year or at least in the spring, just like the little Christmas tree ornaments I made.

Teksakuused. Teksarullid kuuseks. This week, I found inspiration in nature and denim.

Is that a little bit profound or what? Is it even possible for something to be "a little bit" profound? Don't think so. Something is either profound or it isn't. Right? So here we are at Part 2 of "And Then There Were Tree". Honestly, all you need is a few little denim discs, some craft glue, gold thread and some embellishments.

Here's what I mustered! Have a wonderful day! Christmas Village card. Mini Kingipakid. By Hank + Hunt Happy Holidays!

Mini Kingipakid

Here is a little retro garland for your holiday fete. I’m head over heels for anything vintage at Christmas, and recently swooned over some very kitchy, very vintage, mini present garlands on Etsy, in not so awesome metallic wrap. Then, I saw some dangling from fishing line, swathed in very not-my-kind-of-Christmas-y fabric at a local shop. Our holiday decor at home is more candy shop than tannenbaum, and I really wanted something with brighter colors.

You will need: crepe paper folds, cereal box or raisin boxes (empty), scissors, Glue Dots, embroidery thread or thin metallic ribbon (here’s a Seattle based source), and scissors. Step 1: Cut down each side of the empty cereal box. Step 2: Cut each strip into one 4″ length and one 5.5″ length. X-mas pärg. Crochet Christmas wreath ornament.

Sidruni pärg

Siin peab olema mõnus. Eelkõige iseendal ja veel eriti külmal ajal. Kuna me kolisime sel sügisel uude kohta ja kõiki asju pole Saaremaalt ikka veel ära toonud, siis on see kodu veel poolik. Pole veel ka kuuske tuppa toonud, kuigi sel aastal oli see plaan. Jõulude eel tuleb alati näppudesse umbes samasugune rahutus, nagu veebruariski, aga et detsembris veel ei tahaks näppe päris maasse pista, siis võiks nendega hoopis midagi (peaaegu) nullist kodu jaoks ja kodu kaunistamiseks meisterdada. Viimased paar aastat on meil olnud sügis-talviti, mil väljas on juba varakult pime ja toas mõnus hõõgveini juua ja näppudel jutuvada saatel käia lasta, minu hea K-ga nn craft night‘id. Sel sügisel kolis aga K Soome õppima, mis iseenesest on ülitore, sest ma tean, et ta õpib ja saab seal teha seda, mida hing ihkab (tubli oled!) Sel korral võtsin siis üksi ette ühe pärja meisterdamise, millega koduukse ära kaunistasin.

More Christmas Balls.

The first thing to go up is always this wreath of crochet balls, one of the first projects I made when beginning to crochet. You can find the pattern for the balls here. Have a lovely day/night. Paper Roll Christmas Wreath.
