NAVIDAD NATURALMENTE Y DIY {XMAS NATURALLY AND DIY}

- Fortunately we are here again. One more year and I have the feeling that they years don´t go by but fly. I´m very fond of Christmas really, this is not news. I have to say that my activities start earlier each year. I was thinking my Christmas tree this year is one full of history, the history of many years we´ve spent together. I didn´t want any other ornament but bubbles, the bubbles I´ve been keeping for years and years.
- It was fun to look for all the bubbles this year.
Con alguna bola nueva para añadir al de este año.
- I´ve bought some new bubbles for this year´s.
- I started in November, making some ornaments for my sister. I used cornstarch dough, made with corn flour, baking soda and water.
- I used 1/2 cup of cornstarch, 1 cup of baking soda and 3/4 cup of water. In a pan, without heat add the three ingredients. Turn the cook on and start stirring. Continue removing the mix constantly. It will start to bubble slightly and it begin tu turn solid and separate. Once a ball starts to form, take your pan off the heat. Leave the ball in a bowl and cover it until it has cooled down. When done, knead it on a smooth surface until smooth and silky. Preheat the oven to 170ºC while you cut the dough. I´ve used stars shape cookie cutter, but you can use whatever you prefer. I used a straw to make the holes, so you can add a ribbon. Place them in the oven for about an hour, turning them over halfway through cooking. And when my friend Ana saw them, she wanted me to make her napkin rings, so I was working on the dough again.
- This time I used the toilet paper rolls. I sprayed them with golden spray and cut them half. I sticked a gold washi tape and used some ribbon to decorate it more.
- And many stars again.
- And I added a ribbon this time too. On these, I put some drops of white glue and spread some glitter on it.
- The result, very personal really.
- I´ll decorate my Christmas table with this vintage houses for candles that I´ve borrowed from my mom. Well the truth is that she gave them to me.
- And we´ll spend some days together, and this is the most important thing to do now. So I´ll be out until next term. I´m going to take care of my family, now it´s what it really matters and what I really feel like.
- MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Feliz Navidad y que tengas una buena entrada de año guapísima!!
