DIY Cake Stand Advent Wreath

Happy Advent!

         Yesterday we lit the second candle on our Advent wreath. Each candle from the wreath has a different meaning. So the first Sunday of Advent was the HOPE candle and yesterday, the second Sunday of Advent we lit the PEACE candle.  
          On honor of that I made a cute cake stand wreath. I love cake stands and I always wanted to make my own. So here I am showing you how to create it. 

What we need:
- 4 candles
-  glass goblet
- glass plate
- hot glue gun
- red and green tinsel
Let's get started!
        First, clean your plate and goblet and let them dry. Then apply glue to the the rim of the glass.

Center the glass on the bottom side of the plate and press down.

After the glue is completely dry, flip it right side up.

Now place your candles and tinsel on the cake stand.

         And now you are ready to lit a candle on every Sunday until Christmas.

Aw, so peaceful! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Awful Good Girl

Hello my sweet berries!

        I've been an awful good girl and Saint Nicholas came to me. He brought me a lots of goodies: some chocolates, a perfume (aw, I love the smell of it), a cute little toy, a 4 piece gift set and of course a twig. What do you get from the sweet old Nick?

           I wish you all a great Saint Nicholas filled with lots of joy and wonderful moments!

Quick Paper Ornaments

Happy Wednesday cuties!

        For today's DIY Christmas craft I have a very quick and easy paper ornament, perfect for your Christmas tree.

What we need:
- paper
- scissors
- tread
- stapler

Let's get started!
        For this ornament you need to cut out 5 stripes of paper in different sizes.

Cut out some tread and  nod the ends together.

        Take the outer piece of paper and place that on top of the other stripe, then add the tread, then the next stripe of paper and so on.

Then staple all ends together.

Do the same thing with the other end. And your done!

Now you can hang it on your Christmas tree.

Hope you enjoy this handmade craft! Happy Holidays!

White Pumpkin Decor

Hello my beautiful friends!

        Today I'm going to share with you a very easy decoration using a white pumpkin. It's seriously so easy and inexpensive. 

What you need:

          And now just simply take your bag with potpourri, put it into a vase and place the pumpkin on top. I also add a cute red bow for a special touch. It's not just looking cute, but it also makes my house smell like spiced apple.

DIY Christmas Tree Cone

Hello my special berries!

        Today it's time for another DIY decoration for Christmas. And I decided to share with you a simple idea on how to create your very own Christmas Tree Cone. Now, I've been seeing different variations of tree cones everywhere. They are so adorable, but I've been a little bit shocked by their prices. And you know me, I'm not going to pay a fortune for something I could easily make myself at home with just a few things. 

We need:
- paper
- garland
- scissors
- glue
- tape
Let's get started!
        I started by rolling the paper into a cone shape and tape it down.

Then I cut off the bottoms so that the cone would sit flat. 

        Now here comes the fun part, I just wrapped the garland around and use glue to keep in place.

And here it is! It's super duper easy to make!

          I'm very happy with the result! I know that there are so many ways to decorate this Christmas Tree Cones. The options are endless! So please let me know if you try this out!
