DIY christmas ornaments


Get ready to see things in a different light!

This is an idea from our recent KidsLife-issue: Sweet christmas ornaments made from house and baking supplies. These cupcake papercups make such a sweet hanger - all you need to add is thread and some beads. The weather here is grey and cold - just right for a crafting and tea-afternoon. Are you planning to create something this weekend?

    Thank you for sharing with us. Saying that you're amazing is an understatement. I admire how you were able to figure out so many important things at such a young age. Be so sure of yourself and your fears didn't stop you. Your advice is golden and much appreciated
