DIY christmas ornament

I have thought of this pretty quick and easy christmas ornament. That again, I rushed through. It is very cheap though!








Things that you need:
An egg
Paint or markers
Clear tape
String, yarn, or lace

1. Blow an egg out of it's shell. If you don't know how to do this check out my post on "how to blow the egg out of an egg" :D
Here is the link:

2. Decorate the egg a christmasy way so it doesn't look like an easter egg. Try not to smudge the marker if you are using markers.

3. Let it dry! Even if it is markers!

4. Attach the yarn, string, or lace to the egg with a piece of tape. I used duct tape because I couldn't find my clear tape but I recommend using clear tape if you have it.

5. Hang it on your christmas tree and if you have enough time, you can make a collection of them.

How to blow the egg out of an egg

This is a rather short post that I made. I made it because I have some DIY posts that you need to use empty egg shells that aren't in pieces.

Anyways, this is what you need:
An egg
A straw

1. Make a hole that is just a little bit bigger than the width of your straw.

2. Stick the straw in the hole.

3. Blow as hard as you can. Just don't blow so hard that it explodes.

4. Ta da! You are done.

End of super short post.

DIY Advent calendar

I don't really buy advent calendars because the chocolates taste funny and if you want a good one with lego or something like a mini ornament inside then they'll be around $40! I used to get the cheap ones all the time. I never really saw a decent cheap advent calendar. Although I did see this santa advent calendar at IKEA that was a big fat santa and it is so cute! I bet it has Dames or some yummy IKEA chocolates. It's $10 I think... My memory is not so good. Anyways, I am going to show you how to make a homemade advent calendar! I am going to make a moustache one but you can decorate yours anyway you like! It is soooo cheap!

What you need:
Glue
Tape
paper
Markers, crayons, pencil crayons, etc.
Pencil
Eraser
2 papers

1. First, draw and cut out 3 sides of each square. Then, repeat the step until you make 25 squares on the paper. There should be 5 rows of 5 squares.

2. Number each square and decorate it. Outline if you want. (Sorry if you think it is messy. I rushed through it!)

3. Draw a little picture on the flaps of each square (optional).

4. Glue the edges of the paper with squares, onto another paper. Do not glue on the squares or the flaps!

5. Add a little treat and tape the flaps shut.



6. Hang the calendar up and take a chocolate everyday.
