DIY: Miniature Pine Tree

-
EN

Pine trees in December means a rich ornamented tree with literally bells and whistles on it. Therefore I could not miss out an inspired DIY for this happening: a miniature pine tree!

And it’s pretty simple! All you need is a toothpick and a scissor. Whaaa, scissor and clay?! Yep! I’ve learned this technique from a Japanese craftbook and it really amazed me how easy and fun result it gives.

Curious? Please scroll down and have a go with this DIY!

Naaldbomen. Je voelt hem al aankomen in December: kerstbomen natuurlijk! Eentje die rijkelijk en letterlijk gevuld is met toeters en bellen. Ik kon deze natuurlijk niet ontgaan en hiervoor een DIY voor jullie bedacht: miniatuur naaldboompje! Klinkt cute no?

En hij is vrij simpel. Je hebt een tandenstoker en een schaar nodig. Klinkt misschien onlogisch een schaar zetten in je klei, maar deze techniek die ik overigens uit een Japans knutselboekje afgekeken heb, geeft leuke resultaten! 

Nieuwsgierig? Kijk snel hieronder en probeer deze DIY gerust uit!  


 You need:  any desired Fimo/Polymer clay, tootpicks, scissor and an oven.

*Snip snip snip*  Once everything is trimmed, bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 110°C to harden it.

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post. You know to keep our mind working! And this time I take you guys through another fruity crochet tutorial where this time it’s all about the bananas!

Please try it out!    NL Deze week is mijn eerste werk week weer begonnen na een heerli

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten.
