Blogmas 2021

♥ Day 2; Christmas Tree

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! The next day of Christmas. And what is Christmas without a tree, well we really need to make one. Even though this one is not typical, I hope you’ll still like it! It’s a snowy one, almost looking like a cotton candy tree, don’t eat it though! I love how it turned out and I hope yours will turn out amazing as well.

Christmas Tree

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ This Template. (This download gives you all templates for blogmas 2021)
♥ Paper, about 200gr/m2.
♥ Snow Blanket or Sheet Stuffing.
♥ Light Blue Acrylic Paint.
♥ Sponge.
♥ Scissors.
♥ Pencil/Marker.
♥ (Hot) Glue.

DIY Christmas Tree

Print out this template and cut all parts out of the Christmas Tree.

Base

Trace part A on some thicker paper, like 200gr/m2 and make a cone of it, glue neatly together.

Snow

Trace the other parts, B, C and D on to the snow blanket and cut all those parts out. Round of the edge with the waves, with a pair of scissors, to make it look prettier. Try all parts on the cone, matching the lines and see if they fit. If they do, go to the next step.

Painting

With a sponge I made the edge with the waves, light blue. Just dab it on carefully, leave a part white with a gradient to a light blue edge. You could skip this step as well if you think a white tree is better.

Finishing off

Now it’s time to glue parts B, C and D to the cone (part A). I used hot glue for this to make this go faster. Start with gluing on the bottom layer, Part B use the lines drawn on the cone as guide. Do the same for part C. For Part D, you kinda do the same, but since there is no line to guide you, place the top part about 1cm past the top of the cone and continue to glue it on.

That’s it! The Christmas tree is done. Glue it on top of the snowball, but before you do so, attach a long piece of thread to the snowball and pull it through the tree as well.

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!

Have a wonderful day!

♥ Day 1; Snowball

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! We are kicking of blogmas 2021 with a pretty easy one! Just a big amigurumi ball made with fluffy yarn. Now I think about it, if you make several you can use it to a “Snowball” fight, how much fun would that be?! Obviously. this ball will be the base for our whole project, if you’ve see the blogmas intro blog. I hope you will have fun with our Winter Wonderland project, as I said before, I’ll post every other day this year. Not each day till Christmas. This will also give you more time to make all the things.

Snowball Amigurumi

For this Pattern you’ll need:
♥ Fluffy Yarn in the color White.
♥ Crochet Hook, 6,5MM*.
♥ Stuffing.
♥ Scissors.
♥ Stitch Markers.
♥ Yarn Needle.

*Check your yarn that you wanna use, to which hook size you need. For amigurumi it isn’t necessary to use the exact same yarn, they will only turn out bigger or smaller.

This is the yarn I used.

Stitches used (US Terms):
Magic Ring.
CH = Chain.
SC = Single Crochet.
ST = Stitch.
Inc = Increase.
Dec = Decrease.
(…) = Repeat the space in brackets the given number of times.
[…] = Total number of stitches.

This pattern is made using continuous rounds, unless stated otherwise. Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch.

Pattern Snowball

1: 6SC in a Magic Ring. [6]
2: 2SC in each st around. [12]
3: (1SC, inc) 6 times. [18]
4: (2SC, inc) 6 times. [24]
5: (3SC, inc) 6 times. [30]
6: (4SC, inc) 6 times. [36]
7: (5SC, inc) 6 times. [42]
8-12: 42SC. [42]
13: (5SC, dec) 6 times. [36]
14: (4SC, dec) 6 times. [30]
15: (3SC, dec) 6 times. [24]
16: (2SC, dec) 6 times. [18]
Start with stuffing already.
17: (1SC, dec) 6 times. [12]
Continue stuffing.
18: Dec around. [6]
Stuff a bit more if needed.
Fasten off and weave in tail.

For this one there is no assembling needed as well, good thing right. I am sometimes annoyed when I have to assemble amigurumi’s, anyone with me?

♥ Winter Wonderland BLOGMAS 2021

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! This year we will do another Christmas Craft Along, or Blogmas, or however you wanna call it! I’m excited to do this this year again! I somehow always look forward to making those blogs every year. They make me happy, even though it is a lot of work as well and coming up with something new each year isn’t easy either. But I managed.

This year will be a tiny bit different, I will make a blog post every other day, not each day like I usually do. I will post every uneven day, so dec 1st, dec 3rd etc. I hope that’s fine by you!

Last year I did all crochet items, check them here if you missed them!

This time we will do all kinds of crafts, like paper art, crochet, clay, etc. All kinds of things, but I am sure you will manage to make all, even if you are not familiar with the medium we’re working with!

It has a Winter Wonderland theme!
We will basically make one thing in the end, but all the items we will make it separate and assemble it together along the way. Of course you don’t have to make everything, for example if you only like the tree or the fairies, just make those and decorate your house with it.

This is what we will make in the end:

The whole DIY/pattern is already available as PDF on my Ko-Fi, in case you wanna start early or don’t want any advertisement in the blogs. A little extra in the PDF is a story line. You won’t get that in the blogs! Go to my Ko-Fi shop now and buy it!

I hope you are just as excited as I am, I had a lot of fun making this and coming up with all those Winter Wonderland parts.

Stay Creative!

Love
Danielle

PS. Don’t forget to mark dec 1st on your calendar! I’ll see you then!
