Decoratiuni festive DIY

Decoratiuni festive DIY

E momentul perfect pentru a ne decora casa si a ne gandi la decoratiunile pentru masa de Craciun. Si indiferent cat de multe globulete, stelute, lumanarele… am cumpara, niciuna nu are la fel de mare farmec precum o decoratiune facuta de mana ta. Pentru asta am apelat la ideile de decorare din brosura Ferrero, dar si de pe site-ul www.decoratiuni-magice.ro. Sunt idei originale, pur si simplu incantatatoare si foarte usor – credeti-ma pe cuvant – de pus in practica. Eu am ales 3 decoratiuni festive si va voi arata in continuare cum se realizeaza, pas cu pas:

 

EN: It’s the perfect time to decorate our homes and to think about the Christmas table decorations. And no matter how many globes, stars, candles we buy, none of them is quite like a hand made decoration. For this I have turned to the decoration ideas from the Ferrero brochure, but also to the site www.decoratiuni-magice.ro. They are original ideas, simply delightful and very easy- take my word for it- to make. I have chosen 3 festive decorations and now I will show you how to make them, step by step:

Nu e primul an in care apelez la ideile de decorare propuse de Ferrero. Tin minte perfect reactia membrilor familiei de anul trecut, cand s-au asezat la masa de Craciun. Pregatisem pentru fiecare cate un bradut cu numele, decorat cu specialitati Ferrero. Impachetasem intr-un mod original si cadourile lor, pentru ca sunt mici detalii care chiar fac diferenta. Aduc o nota personala si reprezinta o dovada in plus a dedicatiei si a atentiei cu care vrei sa ii intampini pe cei dragi de sarbatori. Deasemenea, simplul lucru manual la aceste decoratiuni te va relaxa si te va aduce mai aproape de spiritul Craciunului. Sa iesi putin din agitatia nebuna a orasului, cu traficul blocat de soferi in cautare de cadouri.

Asadar, anul acesta am ales urmatoarele 3 decoratiuni DIY:

PAHARE PRETIOASE

Dificultate – 1 stea – adica mai usor de atat, nu se poate. Iti trebuie un snur pentru margele (eu am ales o sarma, dupa cum vedeti si in video), foarfece, margele rosii, trei pahare mici, tava rotunda, doua lumanari mici, albe (iarasi, o sa vedeti pe video ca eu am ales pahare cu tot cu lumanari in ele), globuri mici, rosii si specialitati Mon Cheri.

Tai snurul la o lungime care sa poata inconjura paharul de 4 – 5 ori si pui margelele pe el. Apoi il infasori in jurul paharelor, cum iti place. Le pui pe o tava sau farfurie impreuna cu globurile si adaugi cate o lumanare in doua dintre ele. In al treilea pahar pui Mon Cheri.

Dar ca sa vedeti exact cum am realizat aceasta decoratiuni si care au fost dificultatile intampinate, va invit sa urmariti urmatorul video:

Urmeaza….

BORCANUL CU SPECIALITATI

Dificultate – tot 1 stea. Ai nevoie de un borcan, o oja aurie sau neagra, o sfoara, foarfece, abtibilduri cu stelute aurii si Ferrero Rocher.

Pictezi o urare de sarbatori pe borcan folosind oja si o lasi sa se usuce. Infasori sfoara in jurul gatului borcanului, apoi impreunezi cele doua capete si le fixezi cu abtibilduri in forma de steluta (eu am avut doua stelute de carton, pe care le-am lipit cu banda dublu adeziva). Iar la final umpli borcanul cu Ferrero Rocher.

Va invit din nou sa urmariti videoul de mai jos, ca sa vedeti cum am realizat aceasta decoratiune si ce decizii am luat pentru un rezultat optim:

Iar ultima decoratiune propusa este…

ARTA CU SARMA

Dificultate – 2 stele. Deci e putin (dar foarte putin) mai dificila. Nu exista pe video, asa ca trebuie sa cititi cu atentie descrierea de aici. In primul rand ai nevoie de sarma decorativa (de 2mm grosime), patent, banda adeziva, crengute versi (de brad, de pin, eucalipt), sfoara verde, subtire, perforator, sfoara neagra, groasa, si Raffaello.

Sarma decorativa este foarte populara in acest sezon, fiind foarte flexibila si versatila. Mai intai indoi sarma in forma de simboluri festive. Eu am ales o stea, o inima, un brad (adica fix cele propuse in brosura Ferrero, fiind complet lipsita de imaginatie). Trebuie sa formezi agatatoare in punctul in care vrei sa le atarni. Adica indoi sarma in forma de cerc micut, chiar la unul dintre capetele sarmei. In brosura scrie ca trebuie sa impreunezi capatele sarmei si sa le infasori in banda adeziva. Eu am ales unde vreau sa pun bradutul si Raffaello, asa ca am pus banda dublu adeziva in acel loc (deci nu intotdeauna in partea in locul in care se impreuna sarma). Fiind banda dublu adeziva, am putut lipi de ea si pe o parte si pe cealalta parte crengile mici de brad. Apoi trebuie sa perforezi cu atentie marginea de sus a ambalajelor Raffaello – mie mi s-a stricat perforatorul, asa ca le-am dat o gaura mica cu o furculita mai ascutita. Pe acolo inserezi sfoara verde (asa cum scrie la brosura) ori o sarma fina alba, asa cum am ales eu, ca sa poti sa prinzi Raffaello de crengutele de brad. In felul acesta fixezi mai bine si crengutele. Nu am avut de pin ori eucalipt, dar sunt sigura ca ar arata si mai bine ceva diversitate. La final inserezi sfoara neagra (eu am avut sfoara groasa normala, maro) prin agatoarea facuta din sarma, la inceput, si atarni simbolurile deasupra mesei, ori intr-un alt loc dragut din casa. Arata foarte bine, pe cuvant!

Deci, care e decoratiunea voastra preferata din toate cele propuse anul acesta de Ferrero? Imi putei lasa linkul in comentarii, ca poate imi mai aleg 2 – 3 din recomandarile voastre pana la Craciun.

EN: It’s not the first year when I turn to the decoration ideas proposed by Ferrero. I remember perfectly what my family’s reaction was last year, when they sat down at the Christmas table. I had prepared for each of them a little tree with their names, decorated with goodies from Ferrero. I had also wrapped their gifts in an original way, because these are the small details that make a difference. They bring a personal touch and they represent an extra proof of the dedication and care you want to greet your loved ones with for the holidays. Also, the work you do for these decorations will relax you and bring you closer to the Christmas spirit. To escape the craziness of the city, with traffic jams and drivers looking for gifts.

So, this year I have chosen the following 3 DIY decorations:

PRECIOUS GLASSES

Difficulty – 1 star- so it can’t get any easier than that. You need a string for the beets (I chose a wire, as you can also see in the video), scissors, red beets, three small glasses, round tray, two small white candles (as you can see in the video, I chose glasses which already had the candles in them), small red globes, Mon Cheri bonbons.  

You cut the wire at a length which can around the glass for about 4-5 times and you put the beets on it. Then you wrap it around the glasses, as you wish. You put them on a tray or a plate together with the globes and you add a candle in two of them. In the third one, you put a Mon Cheri.

But please watch the video above, so you can see exactly how I made these decorations and what the difficulties along the way have been.

THE GOODIES JAR

Difficulty- also 1 star. You need a jar, a golden or black nail polish, string, scissors, golden stars stickers and Ferrero Rocher.

You paint a holiday wish on the jar by using the nail polish which you then let to dry. You wrap the string around the neck of the jar, then you put together the two ends and fix them with star stickers (I had two cardboard stars, which I glued together with duck-tape). And in the end you fill the jar with Ferrero Rocher.

Please watch the video above, for further instructions on how to get the best result.

And the last decoration is…

ART ON A WIRE 

Difficulty- 2 stars. So slightly more difficult. There is no video for this, so you have to read the instructions carefully. First of all you need a decorative wire (2 mm thick), a patent, duck tape, little green branches, green string, a card punch, black string and Raffaello.

The decorative wire is very popular this season, since it’s very flexible and versatile. First of all you have to bend the wire into festive symbols. I have chosen a star, a heart, a tree (so the ones proposed in the Ferrero brochure, since I was low on inspiration). You have to form hangers in the point where you’ll want to hang them from. So you bend the wire in the form of a small circle, right at the end of its ends. In the brochure it says you have to put the ends of the wire together and wrap them in duck tape. I chose where I want to put the tree and Raffaello, so I put duck tape in that spot (so not always in the spot where the wire gets together). Since it was duck tape, I could also glue to it the little tree branches. Then you have to carefully perforate the upper part of the Raffaello wrap- my perforator broke, so I made a hole with a fork. That’s here you put the green string through (as it says in the brochure) or a fine white wire, like I chose, so you can put together the Raffaello with the tree branches. In this way you fix the branches better. In the end you insert the black string (I have used the regular brown string) through the hanger made out of wire, at the beginning, and you hang the symbols above the table, or any place in the place where they would look good. They look great, I swear!  

Please watch my videos above, pay attention to the photos chosen, and also go to www.decoratiuni-magice.ro, because you’ll find plenty of original ideas there, including video tutorials, which show you, step by step, how to make them.  

So, which decoration is your favorite out of all those proposed by Ferrero? You can leave me the link in the comments, maybe I’ll pick out 2-3 of your recommendations until Christmas.
