diy: candle knitwear

kerstsweetpaul.jpg

Today I’m loving .. this crafts project created by Sweet Paul. It is easy: all you need is a nice candle in a glass, a piece of a sweater, needle and thread. Simply measure the material around the glass, fold down the sides, cut of any excess material and sew it together in the back.

These diy candle holders made from bottles don’t need any instructions I think.

If you have time (unfortunately I haven’t) you can make a felted holiday garland. You can find a tutorial on Papernstitch.

This beautiful Christmas tea light holder from Etsy seller Wendy Jung is made from off white porcelain. It gives a soft magical glow and cast tiny dancing lights when placed near walls.

This Danish interior is another example that Christmas decorations doesn’t always have to be colorful and shiny!

The use of natural and raw materials such as wood and zinc is just what I like! The deer on the wall is not exactly my style but I do like all the other things.
