Whether you’re planning to include snowflakes in your Christmas decorations or want to decorate with them after Christmas – you’ll find some ideas for these white beauties in my store. These ones are brand new.


 
These snowflakes have a diameter of about 14 cm. In the pattern, I explain how to assemble the simplest version and how you can decorate them afterward. Of course, you’ll also get templates for the strips with all the necessary cuts.

These little beaded guardian angels make lovely small gifts and can also be used as Christmas tree ornaments or gift tags.

The angels are quick to make, and since the pattern explains each step in detail with photos, they’re easy enough even for crafting beginners.



The pattern for the little beaded angels is available here

Umbrellas are also a lovely symbol of fall and winter. 
How about umbrellas that you can easily make from sparkling beads and use in many ways for decoration and as gift tags? 



In the pattern, I describe every step with clear photos so you can easily make these pretty umbrellas yourself, even if you have never crafted with beads before.

I admit it: This autumn bonsai tree made from beads and wire is considerably more involved to make than the little umbrellas. You’ll need to plan on a few hours of wonderfully relaxing work and designing with the beads and wire. But: The result is truly rewarding. With a bonsai as an extraordinary eye-catcher that sparkles like crazy in sunlight and artificial light, wearing the dreamily beautiful autumn colors as its finest autumn outfit just for you. 

Go for it—even if you’ve never made a little beaded tree with beads and wire before. In the pattern, every step is shown to you with many detailed photos and thorough texts, so you’ll soon have your own little bonsai tree at home too.

Fall is getting grayer and grayer, but is it still a little too early for you to start on Christmas decorations? You can easily solve this problem by adding some colorful fall leaves to your windows.



  The Autumn Leaves are made from cardstock and tracing paper, measure about 16 to 20 cm, and are very easy to make.

Ready for the St. Martin’s Day parade? Time is running out, but if you get started on your craft right away, you’ll still be able to finish this lantern.
 


The lantern is made from photo cardstock and translucent paper. It’s a convenient size of approx. 29 x 22 x 11 cm and is easy for a child to carry. The lantern is easy to make; all the steps are explained in detail in the craft instructions.

Would you like to decorate your front door for Christmas, too? How about this  door wreath here?



The wreath is about 28 cm in diameter and consists of a flat base shape and 36 individual elements that form the curved shape. Then just add the bright red poinsettias, and your festive door decoration is ready! Assembling the wreath is fun and very easy.

These leftover yarn sparrows (which can even look like other bird species!) love to perch on twigs in a vase or on your houseplants.

The leftover yarn sparrows are so easy to make that even (slightly older) children are sure to enjoy them just as much as adults.
The PDF includes lots of clear photos and detailed instructions for each individual step, so you can easily make them yourself.




You don’t need much material to make your leftover yarn sparrows:

leftover yarn
a sturdy piece of cardboard, 16 x 8 cm
2 beads, 5-7 mm, per sparrow for the eyes
sewing thread
a sewing needle
scissors

If you use these pretty gift tags  for your Christmas gifts—writing on the back who the gift is from and who it’s for—you won’t get confused later, and the recipient will know who to thank for each gift.



The tags are 5.5 to 6 cm tall, made from cardstock, and some are decorated with glitter liner. They’re very easy to make and are perfect for beginners and for crafting with kids.
