Advent calendar 9


So, what does one do on a tired Friday night, when one is warming up in front of the telly after having enjoyed the Christmas lights switch on tradition in the High Street in one's little town..?


Well, this certain someone grabbed a piece of leftover floorboard (ca 11 inches/ 30 cm long), sawed (yes, in front of the telly!) some twigs into different sizes, glued them onto the floorboard piece and topped it off with yet another salt dough star. I should probably have sanded the edges of the piece of wood before I started this little project, but patience is not my most prominent characteristic...

So, dear readers, have yourself a stick-y little Christmas and happy crafting!
Helena

    Du kan verkligen hitta på de mest utsökta saker av enkla medel! Helt otroligt!
    Så fint med enkelheten och ändå en julstämning med stjärnan i "granen"! Dekorativt, roligt och vackert!
    Ha en fin adventssöndag!

    A saw, you say! In front of the telly. Not in front of Violet Crawley I hope!
    You really are such a clever stick. Boom Boom!

    Hej hej kära Helena,

    Åh så gran(n)!! ;)) Gör ingenting att kanterna är ruffiga, det ger den bara mer karaktär. Glöm sandpappret för den är jättefin som den är! Vet du, jag såg en mossig variant i Country Homes & Interiors som gav mig sån lust till att sno ihop en egen. Men än så länge finns den bara i tanken och förblir nog där.. för som vanligt är det alldeles för mycket jag vill göra under denna period.

    Om jag inte sa det sist så säger jag det nu, din adventskalender är verkligen jättefin och det är spännande att se vad du hittar på härnäst. Du har så bra idéer. Som till exempel dina personliga omslagspapper - så finurligt och snyggt!!

    Det lät ju helmysigt med juleljus-tändningen i er stad, såna traditioner gillar jag. Ha det nu så bra och tack så jättemycket för hälsningen du lämnade :)

    Kram Sanna
