5 nice ways to make pretty garlands #garland made of apple stamps


Hi everybody,

today I'm going to show you how to make a pretty apple-stamps-garland. I personally love garlands, because they make everything prettier and cute.
Apparently for the current autumn winter weather (at least in germany it's pretty cold and wintery now) an garland made of apple stamps would suit that weather at its best. 
It's super easy to create and you don't need much equipment:
  • brush
  • apple
  • thick paper
  • needle
  • acrylic paint

 1. cut the apple in half and spread the paint all over its surface


2. press the apple on the paper and make sure that all of the apple is attaching your paper since the  result just will be prettier
Repeat that step as often as you want, I made 8 prints.



3. after the paint dried make a hole with a darning needle (actually you can use pretty much every needle, but to put through a yarn after, it will be easier to use a darning needle since its diameter).



4. the last step will be to threat the apple stamps and to hang it on your favourite place.


Have fun making that pretty garland and if you want you can always send me your result, I'd love that <3
Happy monday evening, Isa

#recipe and talk about pinterest



Hi my dear readers,
first of all I want to say sorry for my absence. It was incredible busy these first weeks in university, organising everything and so on. Additionally I became ill, the whole flue thing, which didn't help at all.
But here I am, fresh and recovered.
Today I was going to have only one lecture ("sing with kids"), but it was canceled due illness.
So I'm enjoying my freetime and do crafts and actually wanna ask you if you are as hooked on as I am when it comes to Pinterest?
I just love, love this page so much that I could spend hours and hours searching for stuff, since I’ve heard the first time of it.
Basically you can find everything you would want and beyond, such as food recipies or style support…there are no boundaries.
What I love most ist that You can get a lot of inspiration and support for your own stuff. It works like you can follow people you like, for example crafting girls, whom you like there DIYs of or style blogger or...
So for me it works as a tremendous inspirational source when it comes to crafting and other pretty things, which make life beautiful.
A few days ago I was searching for a nice recipe for a cake and what I found was a drawn one. I was so amazed by that idea to not just write down a recipe of a certain cake or dinner, but draw it. What a lovely idea, I thought.
And at the next day I tacked my sketch book under my arm and grabed a pencil and found myself drawing in my bed with a cup of tea and nice music.
I'm pretty pleased with the result. What do you think?

What are you enjoying doing in your freetime?
Have a wonderful november day, love Isa
