Zebra Print and Hot Pink Christmas Wreath

Animal prints are reappearing guest stars on fashion runways but unless you're a Samantha Jones , it's almost impossible to wear a zebra print dress and pull it off!

So if you still want to make that ultimate fashion statement , go for a clutch , a pair of shoes or a DIY wreath. Yes, you read it right, Christmas can be fun!



Hope you like this project , had to leave my comfort zone but I loved it :)

DIY : Christmas Gift Tags

This Christmas, i'm campaigning against impersonal/mass produced sticker gift tags . Just say NO to the friendly store assistant who offers you one.

It's all in the paper you choose . Go for matte , vintage and recycled paper for a warm holiday effect and try to avoid using all that glitters and shines.

Happy Holidays!









Stick some paper to the other side to cover the back stitching and sign off the tag

DIY : Paper Tree Figurines

When I came across these cute paper trees by fellow blogger Kristina , it was love at first site and immediately took to my work station to make some for myself!

This project in particular reminded me of crafting at school, it was so easy and super fun


Cut the sheets into perfect circles then fold into cones



Then cut the design paper into leaf shapes and start sticking
