Hmmmm.... What should I try to sew? Something easy, easy....

Love Felt Birds

These are my new birdies. I made them for a friend.

I used assorted colorful felt: blue, pink, white, dark pink, purple...

In the snow.

Purple slippers - Frozen slippers

First, I made these slippers with some purple yarn that I had. But my 7 years daughter said they are ... Frozen. She loves the movie and the characters, Elsa and Ana, and all day long she is singing like them.

It's not my pattern. I used a pattern from Craftsy. I made the smaller size, but the slippers are not so perfect for my daughter. I have to try them again. But she likes them. 

Then we painted together Elsa. It was fun in a Sunday morning. 

Do you like Frozen?

Diaper Cake How to Make

My first diaper cake. For a sweet little baby boy.

With a Teddy Bear on top.

I used: a champagne, blue ribbon, a plastic plate, diapers, toys, blue thread.

First layer - around the bottle.

I tied them with blue thread.

Second layer around the first one.

The second row.

The third row on the top. It's done. Now the decorations.

Blue ribbons and blue bows to hide the thread and for a nice touch.

Some silver paper stars on the ribbon.

Teddy Bear on top. A pacifier and a bath turtle on the sides. 

Easy peasy. You can do it too.

Cinnamon Heart Christmas Ornaments

We don't have in Romania applesauce. But I love cinnamon Christmas ornaments, so I made a recipe without applesauce. It's so easy and your kids will love the entire process.

 

You need:
-250 g grounded cinnamon
-4 tablespoon glue
-1 and 1/5 cup of warm water (or more if your mix is to dry)
-6 tablespoon oil

First I mixed up the glue in warm water and poured it over the cinnamon.

I made a dough and me and my 7 years daughter roll a sheet.

We used her dough cutters to cut the cinnamon ornaments.

I made a hole for the ribbon.

And some curly lines.

We let them to dry.

Merry Christmas.

Handmade Christmas Ornaments from Sparkly Yarn

This year I have decided with my 7 years daughter to make handmade Christmas ornaments. From yarn. From sparkly yarn. I have used Ayda Isil Kristal - a yarn with silver insertion, a pair of scissors and some small bells. I have made pompoms, bells, and candies.

 To make pompoms:

Put the thread in your palm and just wrap it around your hand.

When it's fuller, cut it.

Slide the yarn from your hand.

Tie a piece of yarn around the center and make a knot.

Cut through the loops on both sides.

Give it a trim for a nice looking pompoms.

It's done.

To make a bell:

Put in your pal, along your fingers, a piece of yarn.

Then cross over it the yarn and wrap around your hand, like for pompoms.

Slide the yarn from your hand, ...

... and tie the piece of yarn on the bottom of the bell. Leave a long tail.

Then take another piece of yarn and tie it 1/3 from the top.

Cut through the loops.

This is the bell. Or a tassel.

I tie a tiny bell in the middle of the tassel.

Done. Easy.

To make a candy: make like for tassel and tie 2 other pieces of yarn on 1/3 from the top and the bottom.

Cut through the loops on the both parts.

This is your candy Christmas Ornament.

Place them in your Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas to you.
