DIY -Make your own Xmas soap garland-

It's DIY time!! I made this a few days ago over at my own blog and also will share it here. For today we are gonna make a Xmas soap garland. It's not a whole new concept, but i have made one with mixed materials. You can hang it in your bathroom or toilet, just for a little Xmas feelin' (and it smells great!) or make one as a Xmas gift :)

DIY -Xmas soap garland-

supplies:

- little white pompoms

-wooden beads

-little soap stars

- kitchen/garden yarn

-needle

-little piece of ribbon

1 I first started with knotting this cute heart

2. Then it is already time for the fun part!!

Thread all your things on the yarn the way

you like it. Your needle will get soap on it,

so it's necessary to clean it from time to time.

If it's difficult to pull the needle through use

your tshirt or a tea towel for it.

3. You can make it as long as you like!

When your done just make a knot at the end.

4. Finish it with a loop, this way you can

hang your soap garland easily.

5. Then it will look like this!

Cut the end and finish your garland

with a cute bow.

And you are done!

DIY -make your own little goodie/giftbag-

Well hello, i hope you are still enjoying our (crafty) blog :) For today i have another DIY for you. I made this post several months ago over at my own blog, but with the upcoming Holidays i thought it would be lovely to also share it here ❤

When i was sorting out my craftsupplies i saw all my pretty wrappingpapers and thought it was a pity that they were just lying around, instead of being used! There's such pretty (gift)paper all around! Just a few examples: Christmas wrapping paper, scrapbookpaper or even design your own!

Supplies

- (gift)paper

-scissors

-double sided tape

cut a piece of paper in the size that you like

fold your paper

fold the other (smaller half) over the big one

confirm you double sided tape

and fold the smaller side over it

fold the 'bottem' up

add double sided tape

fold & make sure it's solid

almost done..

i've cut a little 'wave' on top with the siccors

& added my own 'business' card

You can use little clothespins to close it,

use a stapler and add your 'business' card there.

You can also make two holes on top and pull

a little ribbon through etc.

There are endless ways..

explore yours xD

Recently Stumbled...

Do you stumble?

Sometimes I like to stumble while 'watching' football or when I have a little bit of time to kill. It can be a real time waster, because it sucks me into all of my favorite types of sites...Photography, crafting, recipes....but I can also save my favorite stuff to return to later when I have more time or I just need some inspiration. Also it keeps me in check on what I really want to look at without cluttering up my bookmarks, (I need to organize the bookmark tab on my computer, so much randomness!)

Anyway.

Here are some of my most recent finds. I think you will like them!
