Each and every year the same question what to gift your loved ones. For some it is easy for some it is hard but overall I would suggest gifting a selfmade present is the best way to spread joy among your family and friends. A gift card or present from the store is easy to get or quick to order but a DIY gift really means that you have given it a lot of thought and time to make it yourself.

For this years DIY gift I decided to go with ornaments which contain a little „snow“ and our childrens faces. These will be the perfect gifts for all the grandma´s, aunts and uncles. 

How to DIY Snow Globe Ornaments

So this is fairly easy to put together. I got the clear ornaments from amazon and they are pretty decent quality. You can open them on the top.

I add little styrofoam balls to make it look like the inside of a snow globe. Then I try to cut the picture big enough to put it inside and it doesn´t fall over but small enough so the ornament is going to close properly.

After that you are ready, but if you like you can swap out the string for some gift ribbon in the color of your liking.

Christmas Tree Decor 21 – Color Theme Red and Green…

….

Happy Friday you guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/

I finally came around to shot a close up of my tree. To be honest I have done many trees the last few years but this years tree might be my absolute favorite – or am I saying this every year!!!

The color concept for our Christmas tree is as simple and classic but as chic and beautiful as possible. It is Red and Green – THE  original Christmas colors in my opinion. 

I always start by adding the plain ornaments to the tree and go from there. For this year´s concoction I went with all red and green ornaments. After that I added tartan print bows and glittery poinsettias in green and red. The poinsettias might be my favorite feature of the tree. 

Afterwards I go and get our special ornaments like the pickle or the Mickey bubble and place them all over tree. The last thing I add are the lights. They are just clip on and super easy to put on. 

I also got some fun things like the candy canes and candies so Emilia can also grab some things from the tree. We also started a new tradition this year. I am letting her pick one new ornament every year (going to write the year onto it) and then place it somewhere on the tree. This will be so much fun and when she is old enough and moving out she can start decorating her Christmas tree with all the cute ornaments she collected over the years.

She was very interested the first two or three days and always wanted to grab some ornaments but now she only wants to turn on the lights of the tree and look at it.
