Schönen 1. Advent | Adventskranz

Ich wünsche euch einen schönen 1. Advent. Heute gibt es einen kurzen Post (fast) ohne Papier, dafür aber mit einem schönen Adventskranz. Gestaltet habe ich den Kranz mit einem DIY-Kit aus dem kleinen feinen Shop Kleines Rehkitz in Markkleeberg (in der Nähe von Leipzig). Die Basis bildet ein Weidenkorb, der mit Steckmasse gefüllt ist.

Zur Schmückung des Korbs verwendete ich verschiedenes Grün und allerlei Deko aus natürlichen und künstlichen Materialien. Der Korb samt Steckmasse kann auch für zukünftige Dekorationen verwendet werden. So können wir im Frühling und Sommer schöne Kränze gestalten - mit Blumen, Gräsern und einer kleinen Lichterkette.

Und nun wünsche ich euch einen schönen Tag. Kommt gut durch diese Zeit! Liebste Grüße, eure Sandra ♥.

WRMK | Fall Treat Boxes with Bungalow Lane & Peaceful Heart by American Crafts & Video

[Ad] I'm sharing a fun tutorial how to make origami inspired pyramid boxes from one sheet of paper. The Fall treat boxes make great table favours and are cute birthday gifts too. I created the boxes with papers and embellishments from American Crafts new Fall lines Bungalow Lane by Paige Evans and Peaceful Heart by Jen Hadfield.

Instructions:

1. Trim a piece of paper to size 9“ x 9“.
2. Make four scoring lines at 3“ each.
3. Mark all four sides with a pencil at 4 ½“.
4. Cut the outside squares with a pair of scissors. The cut-out size will be 3“ x 3“.
5. Score diagonal lines from the 4 ½“ pencil marks to the right-hand corners. This will result in 8 flaps at the sides.
6. Crease all scored lines and flaps.
7. Punch four small holes with the Crop-A-Dile tool.
8. Use a ribbon to close the pyramid box. I used double-sided tape on two of the flaps for more stability.

And now please watch my video on YouTube:
