DIY топки украса за елха - Easy DIY yarn ornaments for Christmas

Отново е декември и Коледа чука на вратата. Всяка година се подготвям психически поне месец предварително с украсата и този процес винаги завършва по един и същи начин. Започвам на първи декември и после добавям по нещо в следващите две седмици. Тази година не беше изключение. 

I find myself less and less eager to go out and buy plastic Christmas decorations and instead look for more natural ways to decorate. Every year I start making the house look like Christmas during the first two weeks of the month. I start around 1st of December and then I finish it completely in the next 10 days. This year was no exception. 

Все повече залагам на натуралната украса, направена с подръчни материали. Днешното ми предложението ми е супер лесно и бързо. С по-малко от две седмици до Коледа, не остава време за друго. Посетете сайта на Up Craft Blog, за да ви покажа как да си направите сами DIY топки на елха. 

My go-to natural decor is super quick to make. With less than 2 weeks until Christmas no one has time for more. Check up Up Craft Blog to show you how to make some for yourself this year.

Днешният пост отново е от Деси и Sunday Bake Club. Тя споделя как украсява коледната си елха с минимум усилия. Не знам за вас, но на мен идеята ми хареса страшно.

Какво е необходимо:
Елха - може и да не е в саксия, както предпочитате
Пакет гевречета или други сладки
Цветна прежда или панделка

Нарежете панделката на достатъчно големи парчета. Вържете всяко геврече с панделка. Окачете на дървото.

Готово!

Today's post is again from Dessi and Sunday Bake Club. She shares a very easy to do Christmas tree.

What you need:
A tree
A package of store bought pretzels or cookies
Some colorful yarn or ribbons

Cut the ribbon into long enough pieces. Tie each pretzel with a piece of ribbon. Attach to the Christmas tree.

Voila!

Christmas countdown - Day 1. Advent calendar from positive affirmations and cookies

Today is the official start of our Christmas Countdown. To honer the new month, Dessi suggests a simple, yet very nice, idea about a sweet version of an advent calendar.

Why not start the day with a positive thought and a cookie? It's a very easy to make idea.

Make 24 cookies (more if you like to try them hot form the oven such as I do). Then print 24 positive affirmations from your favourite site or just create them. Wrap a cookie and affirmation together and tie nicely in scrap paper. Find a brunch long enough to accommodate them all. Start each day with a smile, cookie form the brunch, and positive affirmation. During the day, think of the affirmation often, repeat it to yourself, feel it. That's how Christmas should feel too.

Find the original post (in Bulgarian only but the picture are well explaining the process) here.

Come visit tomorrow for another DIY idea.

If you want some cookie recipes go to Sunday Bake Club.

Merry Christmas!
