Oh Christmastree... oh Christmastree {Christmas Decoration}

Hello there...

this week i've been in a christmas mood.
Only a few days and it is time to let the christmas thing in...

Lets welcome it with handmade decoration...

The first thing i made this year is a christmas tree - and it is so
easy - your kids can make it too...

All you need is:

Sizzix Framelits Die Set 6PK - Hearts
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 5PK - Stars
Wire,
liquid glue
glitter, glitter, glitter

Cut out 6 hearts each size, 6 stars (the smallest one), fold them and glue
them together (there you can use normal glue).

Model the wire (i wound it around my pencil). Put it into the tree and fix
the star on.

Now run the liquid glue all over the tree and put the glitter on.

Have a wonderful weekend, Stephanie

If you want to give a beach chair....

Hello there...

have you ever tried to wrap a beach chair for a present?
I think you need a whole lot of paper, right?
Have you ever tried to bring a beach chir through a door?

A colleagues mother is turning 60 this month - and her present
will be a beach chair...

So you need a smaller chair as a symbolic present....

The inside of the boxes you can use for a message or some pieces of chocolate ;-)
