♥ Day 11; Flower Deco

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!

Flower Deco paper craft

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

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.

Snowman DIY

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

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.

Gingerbread Houses of Clay

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

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!

Penguins of Clay

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.

♥ 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!
