♥ Day 11; Flower Deco

21 december 2021 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! Another paper craft it is! I just love to work with paper, I just don’t do it enough. Even though these look simple to make. I think they are very pretty and elegant for our Christmas tree. I hope you think so as well. We are reaching the end of this Blogmas 2021, in fact this is the last craft you are gonna make. But we are still not totally done, one day to go, wait for it, you’ll find out what that’s gonna be!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ This Template. (This download gives you all templates for blogmas 2021)
♥ White Paper, 200gr/m2.
♥ X-Acto Knife.
♥ Cutting Mat.

DIY Flower Deco

First print out the template.

Cut along all the lines with an x-acto knife, make sure to put a cutting mat underneath your work, you don’t wanna cut into your desk. Be careful with the small thin parts, you don’t wanna damage those.

When you’ve done that, fold up the inner petals. This way you create a beautiful 3d flower.

Now you can decorate your tree with all those flowers, make as many as you like.

♥ Day 10; Snowman

19 december 2021 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! A Winter Wonderland without snowman, is that even possible?! I just had to make one, and I could have done that in so many ways, like clay, amigurumi, plushy, etc. Way too many options. And then I thought of making them from those small pompom’s you can buy at the story, easy and quick to make, since Christmas is getting close now, we might not have that much time on our hands anymore. So let’s just go to this craft en check this one off.

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ 2 pompom’s, 1,5cm & 2,5cm.
♥ Bit of Clay in Orange, Light Blue and Black.
♥ (Hot) Glue.
♥ Light Blue Yarn. (Optional)

DIY Snowman

Glue the two pompom’s together. I like to use hot glue here, that makes life easier, it can be a struggle to glue pompom’s together.

Clay

From clay, make a Carrot for its nose, a few small “rocks” of black clay for the eyes and buttons. I also decided I wanted to give him a hat, make this one as well. Just make a flat circle and a small cylinder out of black clay, put a “ribbon” around in a color you like.

Now glue all the clay parts in the right places!

Scarf

This is totally optional, but I went ahead and make a braid of some Light blue yarn. And tied this around the neck of the snowman.

That’s all for this craft. Now go ahead and glue the snowman on top of the snowball.

♥ Day 9; Gingerbread Houses

17 december 2021 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! I couldn’t get gingerbread houses out of my mind ever since I started with sketching this Winter Wonderland project. And at first I only could think of the traditional, square kind of houses. But why should I make them like that if I can have fun with it as well, and make it just a little different. So here we are, this is what we are gonna create.

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Air Dry Clay in the colors Brown, White and Light Blue.
♥ Glue.
♥ Sculpting Tools. (Optional)
♥ Black/Brown Marker

For this tutorial I will use glue to put parts together, you can totally leave this out if you trust your clay enough to stick.

Gingerbread Houses Tutorial

Make a ball of the brown clay of about 2cm.

From white clay make a cone first and make the base a bit hollow so the ball can sit in there nicely, you can use a ball tool for this of just use your fingers. Make the edge a bit uneven so it’s like snow. Make the tip of the cone slightly more pointy so it gets a bit more playful. Use the picture for reference, to get what I mean exactly.
Then, glue this to the ball you just made as well.

Make with some light blue clay, (3D) hearts. You can glue those to the tips of the roofs or on the side.
After that, you can make some doors on the houses, just how you like. I used a black marker to make the door handle on there

Of course you can add more details if you like, do what you love! Make as many as you want and glue them on the Snowball.

If you decided to join this lovely project, or just some parts of it, show me on Twitter or Instagram what you are working on! I’d love to see!

♥ Day 7; Penguins

13 december 2021 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! I really wanted to have a fun aspect in this Winter Wonderland project. So I thought of creatures that I could add and that are not too complicated to make, in case you don’t have experience with clay. In the end I went with those adorable penguins, since you can change the position of the wings, you can also let them climb something. How cute is that?! Let me show you how to make those penguins!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Air Dry Clay in the colors Black and Orange/Yellow.
♥ White Acrylic Paint.
♥ Brush.
♥ Clay Tools. (Optional, I just used my hands)

DIY Penguin

Start with a bit of black clay and roll it into a ball with a diameter of about 1cm. Now, make an indent about 1/3 versus 2/3, so there’s gonna be a bit definition for the body and head. On the bottom half, pinch out a tail with your fingers.

Paint

Paint a white face/belly on the front of the penguin. It’s like a heart for the face and a circle for the belly.

Clay Features

From a tiny bit of Orange/Yellow clay you make 3 tiny balls for the beak and feet, glue those on. Then make the flippers from a bit of flattened black clay and attach those to the body as well. You can play around a bit with the flippers on how to position them. And don’t forget the eyes! Use either paint of a tiny bit of clay.

And that’s all, make as many penguins as you like and spread them around on the snowball, maybe even on the tree? Just have fun with them for that cute, adorable accent.

♥ Paper Plant in Shell DIY

10 juni 2021 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! I was thinking hard what to make for this week’s blog. I had a bunch of ideas, but those were more like long term projects. That wouldn’t happen in just a week. You will find out what it will be in the future. For today I kept it a bit more simplistic, but still fun. A little Paper Plant in a Shell! Look how cute that is. I’m absolutely obsessed with this, perfect to decorate with. And the best thing is, you can make it as big as you want.

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Shells of choice.
♥ Green paper. (Make sure it’s not too thin so it can hold its shape).
♥ Air Dry Clay.
♥ Acrylic Paint.
♥ (Nylon) Thread.
♥ Glue.
♥ Scissors.
♥ X-Acto Knife.
♥ Tiny Rocks. (Optional)
♥ (Fake) Moss. (Optional)

Tutorial Paper Plant in Shell

First prep your shell if you wanna be able to hang. Cut about 15cm of the nylon thread, make a loop and make a knot. Glue the knot inside the shell, it’s up to you where, just how you wanna hang it. Let the glue dry well.

Clay

The clay will function as the soil in the shell. Push a bit of clay inside the hole and give it a bit of a rough texture, sand like. And let this dry.

Creating the Plant

You can make any plant you want. I chose to do a fern, so cute! It’s only a bit fiddly to cut out. So, I can imagine if you chose something else. Look at how to plant is formed and go from there. Copy the leaf shape to the paper with a pencil. Cut those out with an x-acto knife or use scissors if the shape is easy to cut. Maybe add a bit of paint/pastel if you feel like it need more depth or when there are patterns on the leaf, like with a Calathea for example.

Next, it’s time to glue the leaves together. Since I chose a fern, those all come together at the bottom. So, that’s where I used glue to connect all the leave. But again, use reference pictures if you chose another plant. It could be that you need some kind of stem. Maybe you need some wire to make it a bit more sturdy. Shape the plant a bit if needed.

Finishing off

Paint the soil in a brown color or another color of choise if you prefer. Glue tiny rock here and there as well if you want. I found that the rocks will give it more of a realistic look. Also you could add some (fake) moss if you like, also glue this on the shell, be a bit messy. Nature doesn’t colors inside the lines perfectly either. When all those little bits are added to the shell and the glue is dry. Then it’s time to glue the plant to the soil.

Done!

And your paper plant is all done, look how adorable this shell turned out! I love it. When this blog is done, I will make a few more, I might try to attempt to make a Monstera one. Let’s see if that will work out. When it does, I’ll update this blog with some pictures. And of course on social media. If you made one or more as well, don’t forget to show me on Twitter or Instagram! I’d love to see what you create!

Happy crafting and I’ll see you next week!

Love
Danielle
