Tutorial: advent calendar for adults

 This is a last minute tutorial that anyone can follow. I have made lots of Advent calendars for children, so I thought I'd make one for adults. If I think better it's not even a tutorial, but an idea. If you take it like a tutorial than the difficulty level is very easy.  

What you need:

any kind of envelopes - 24 one for each day; punch, number stamps and ink pad, nice Christmasy thread or ribbon, scissors. Oh, yes, and small gifts to fill the envelopes. 

 So, after you make the Advent numbers, fill in your envelopes with the gifts of your choice. I thought of tea bags, coffee or flower seeds because this is what I would love someone dear to gift me. 

 

After you added the goodies just tie each envelope with a nice thread or ribbon and add the 1-24 Advent numbers  

 

I thought they look too simple so I added  some paper flowers that I made last year.

In this way that special someone will think of you each day of December as opens his/her presents :)

Purple and green mobile hanging / Mobil cu verde si mov

And here is what I made with the balls.

I love balls. I wish I could have more ideas on how to use them.

One way is a mobile hanging, in this case shades of purple and green like my client wanted.

Si iata ce am facut cu mingile.

Imi plac mingile tare mult. As vrea sa gasesc mai multe proiecte in care sa le folosesc.

Un proiect frumos este un mobil, care sa se miste in curentii de aer, in cazul acesta mov si verde, asa cum a vrut clienta mea, B.

Favor cone boxes with large paper flower / Cutii marturii con cu floare mare

 

Beautiful favor cone boxes with large paper flower. Somebody asked for some flower cones - you know, where to put fresh flower petals - and from there I transformed them into elegant favor boxes. Aren't they gorgeous? I just love them.

Cutii marturii in forma de conuri cu floare mare de hartie - totul facut de mana, binenteles. Cineva mi-a cerut sa-i fac niste conuri pentru petale de flori - care se arunca la nunti - si pornind de acolo le-am transformat in cutii marturii. Sunt superbe, nu? Mie imi plac tare mult.
