This small disco balls I found in the Christmas department of an furniture shop. I thought they would be for hanging on the Christmas tree, but unfortunately the balls should be used as deco confetti. I noticed (usually) only when I was home. And as I do not need any deco confetti, I made with the disco balls this bracelet and another earrings. For me this was the better (and faster) way than to try to get cash in exchange from the harried sales clerks. …read more

DIY Advent 17: Bracelets from Plastic Bottles (PET)
Today I’ll show you how beautiful recycling can be. From plastic bottles (PET), some fabric and a little imagination you can tinker very pretty bracelets, which are also wonderful as a last minute own-Christmas present.

DIY Advent 10: Sequin Loop on a Top
The tenth DIY Advent door hides an approximately ten-year old top (how fitting!) which I spiced up with a sequined loop. For my Top I took a 1.50 m long and 6 cm wide sequin scarf that was indeed beautiful, but rather scratched me on the neck, so I did not wear it any longer.

DIY Advent 8: Buckle for a Cloth Belt
The eighth Advent calendar door brings a very light, but all the greater effect Do It Yourself guide for all those who have lying around many small neckerchiefs (I have, I have, I have!) and want to wear them like a belt. I still have to embellish my buckle with rhinestones, but this will be possible only after the Christmas rush.
