Že kar fino smo zakorakali v december in zato se mi zdi, da je že čas, da začnem pisati o prazničnih zadevah. Prazniki, yaaaaay! Zadnjih par let me december, razen občasnih vzdihov ob tem, da bom morala po celem snegu gaziti, kamor je bilo pač že treba gazit, ni ganil, letos pa se je očitno nekaj spremenilo. Že oktobra, kar je moj rekord, sem imela nakupljenih ali pa vsaj naštudiranih nekaj božičnih darilc, na Pinterestu pa sem si ogledovala okraske. Celo nekaj prispevkov na to temo sem napisala (klikiti, klakiti in klik), ki se jih splača prebrat ;) Ja, poleg vsega sem se letos dobila še priložnost iti prav zaresno novinarko za portal dobranovica.si in v tem res uživam.
No, kot že rečeno, se mi je letos odtrgalo in izdelujem okraske na darilca na okraske. Letos, sem se odločila, bo vse, kar bo krasilo mojo sobo, modre, srebrne in bele barve.
Prvo, kar sem izdelala, je bil venček. Izgleda preprosto, ampak, ko bi vedeli, kako zamudno je cel venček oviti z vrvico! Pa mi ni čisto nič žal, ker je kljub vsemu zelo lep.
Evo ga. Ovit and all. Slik postopka (žal) nimam, pa saj ni bil tako zahteven. Z okrogle stiroporne škatle sem odrezala en obroč, na katerega sem potem zalepila kroglice zmečkanega papirja in ga oblepila z lepilnim trakom, da je postal bolj okrogel.
Vrvica, s katero je ovit, je že sama po sebi en kul DIY - imenuje se T-shirt yarn, torej vrvica, narejena iz stare bombažne majice. Seveda lahko takšno vrvico tudi kupite, a če imate doma kakšno staro majico in škarje, le zakaj bi.
Prvotno sem hotela celega polimat s papirnatimi vetrnicami, nato pa sem se odločila za bolj minimalističen videz in gor so pristale samo tri. Ostale pa sem obesila na svoj provizoriš božični drevešček (ki ga pokažem v prihodnjih dneh). Če hočete še vi imeti svoje vetrnice, jih naredite takole: A4 list po daljši stranici razrežite na trakove, široke največ ene 4 centimetre, in jih po širini zložite v čimbolj enakomerno harmoniko. Prvi zavihek nato zlepite z zadnjim in harmoniko potisnite v okroglo obliko. V sredino kapnite nekaj sekundnega lepila, da se bo oblika obdržala. Po želji okrasite z gumbi ali čim drugim.
Tale lepotec zdaj visi na zunanji strani vrat od moje sobe, kar je nekako škoda, ker ga ne morem kar naprej občudovat. Sicer pa tako ali tako kar naprej nekaj packam, tako da imam že polno sobo prav tako lepega prazničnega okrasja.

It's finally December, which means that I can show off my DIY holiday decor and really get into the spirit of it all. I've even written some articles about it for my job at dobranovica.si. This year is the first of several that I really got into it and have been making decorations and little gifts since October. Yeah, since October.
Anyway, this December I made a decision to decorate my room in white, blue and silver. That colour scheme in mind, I made myself a pretty neat Christmas wreath.
The base for the wreath was once a round styrofoam box, from which I cut a ring of styrofoam, glued on balls of crumpled paper, and secured them with adhesive tape, which also gave my wreath a more rounded shape. I then wrapped T-shirt yarn all around it. Those little circles you see glued on, I made by cutting a piece of A4 paper lenghtwise into one and a half inch wide strips, which I folded into neat accordions. I then glued the first flap to the last one and pushed the accordions into a circular shape. I applied a dab of superglue to the center for them to keep their shape. I could have decorated them with buttons but I decided not to.
At first, I wanted to cover the whole wreath with these, but I ended up going minimalistic and just glueing on 3. Still, looks beautiful, no? The wreath now hangs on my room's door.
