Most Creative Christmas Trees

If you want something new for this Christmas here are couple ideas how to decorate Christmas tree.
Lets start with most traditional tree. For decorating a lot of peacock feather and related colors were used. Butterflies and unusual colors and finally peacock on the top.

Next Christmas tree was designed for shops, the form allows to have trees and a lot of space for customers in the same time. You can also use it for leaving more space for gifts:)

For this Christmas tree you should be a fan of Grolsch beer. Or any beer. And work hard to collect all this bottles before Christmas. This trees are made from empty beer bottles and empty beer cans. 

 

Christmas tree for everyone who loves to read paper books. Now we have iPads, iPhones and all this stuff so it is harder and harder find home with real book. Be extraordinary:

Christmas tree ideas... lets start

The main attribute of Christmas of course is a Christmas tree. There are a lot of ideas how to decorate it or make it. This idea looks awesome for offices. You can put some Christmas on your desk. Check out: Christmas trees made from magazines.

They are really elegant and can be good decorations for home as well. The author of idea is Maryna. In her LiveJournal blog you can find more really cute handmade stuff: http://infanta-m.livejournal.com/.

Handmade Christmas Wreath: a lot of simple ideas.

Let's move to the next required Christmas attribute - Christmas Wreath. Today's how to is collection of ideas and some useful notes about making the unique and unusual decoration piece. Christmas Wreath can be really sweet. The first idea I would like to share with you is Candy Wreath 

For making this tasty wreath you will need: candies, plastic hoop, ribbon and scotch tape. The following two pictures will show you how to put candies to wreath:

One more sweet Wreath 

And "howto" for it in pictures:

Next one - is Ice Wreath. Unfortunately this wreath is good for you if you are leaving in the place with really cold weather. 

Why? Because it is really made from ice. You will need: round pots or plates, red berries (cranberries for example), green leaves, ribbon. What to do: pour water in the pot or plate. Put smaller pot or plate in center (you can add water or put something heavy in it to avoid floating). Add berries and leaves to water and leave in cold place for freezing. When it totally frozen put some hot water on pans or pots to separate ice and containers.  Attach it to door or gate using ribbon. 
Next one for those who love crochet work. I am sure you know better than me how to do this. Because I have no idea:)

Do you still have your Thanksgiving Wreath? Just cover it with silver paint and you get Christmas one. Kidding. 

For this one you need: maple leaves or any other dry leaves, better if they have different sizes, white or silver ribbon, cardboard, scissors, glue, silver acrylic paint. Cover leaves with acrylic paint. Let them dry. Cut out ring from cardboard, attach leaves to this ring, use ribbon to put it to the wall or door.
Totally the same idea is used for Buttons Wreath. Use buttons instead leaves and you will get this stylish wreath.  You also can paint your buttons using acrylic paints.

More ideas: paper one, fleece one and satin ribbons wreath:

Christmas wreath made from party balloons.

To make this one you need: a lot of balloons, base for wreath, hooks, ribbon (as you see ribbon is default material for making wreath). Here is the step by step instruction in pictures:

Last one for today - from newspaper. How to make - use the way we created the one of buttons:

Advent calendars

What comes up in your mind when you're thinking about Christmas? Christmas tree, ornaments, snowman, Santa Claus, Rudolph, stockings, and advent calendars. Advent Calendar is a special calendar. It is used to count the days of Advent. In our days they are mostly are made for children and have many "windows". One window is opened everyday. Opened windows reveal poems, pictures, stories or small gifts. 
These calendars are known from beginning of the 19th century and since that time they changed a lot. Now you can find calendars made from wood, fabric, paper. Any form, any size. 
I found these amazing calendars in the HanHan's Stitching etsy shop. The artist has passion for embroidery by hand and always enjoyed all needlework. 
This calendar will provide enjoyment for your family for years to come. It's a perfect gift for children!  

Next one is even more lovely and cute. I LOVE it. Just take a look:

There are a lot of great handmade items in HanhansStitching shop. I am definitely sure - you can find something that was made just for you if you click here.
