Christmas Decoration - Sled Kit

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

 There's nothing like the desire for snow at Christmas. Imagine a Christmas evening 

by the crackling fireplace, in the glow of the candles and the snow trickling softly outside. 

Unfortunately, it's just a wish these days, 

so I've made it the theme on this amazing vintage-style sleigh.

 It's very easy to assemble. 

There are so many ways you can design it.

  I used the lettering 'Let it snow', painted and decorated with  textured snow

 and white embossing powder for the snow stars and fir branches. 

I also added a few extra decorations like bells, ribbons, cones,

 feathers and pompoms to make a sleigh you can either hang or stand upright.

Cosy Fireplace

 

 Hello!

 

 Christmas is just around the corner, and it's cold and uncomfortable outside again. 

The garden is in hibernation, which is the perfect time to make it cosy inside. 

But it's also time to think about Christmas presents, 

so I gave the fireplace a festive look with a little colour, texture and 

christmas accessories. 

I didn't paint the inside, the fireplace in birch wood appears

 particularly warm thanks to the LED fairy fairy lights.

 It looks really cosy and appealing, almost too nice to give as a present. 😀

Mystery Forest House

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

I was inspired to transform the Halloween house into a mysterious forest house.

 The house has a stable stand, allowing for easy movement and rearrangement for new decorations.

 I created an old, dilapidated house using the appropriate colour shading and crackle medium.

 The transformation was completed quickly. 

To create a three-dimensional effect, I glued together various 

individual parts such as leaves and mushrooms. The mini windows fit almost perfectly into the recesses, and the mini door has a small canopy.

 It appears as though Grandpa Gnome has just come for a visit.

Forest Lantern by Kerstin

 Hello everyone!

 Today, I am presenting a new lantern project. 

This simple model features open rectangular apertures made of birch wood, 

designed to match a forest theme. 

I glued perspex sheets onto three sides, leaving the fourth open

 so that a simple electric tea light can be placed inside. 

 

To decorate the lantern, I added a few filigree MDF parts, 

dividing them into different sections and gluing them on individually.

 As the original colour of the MDF parts contrasted well with the light birch wood tone, 

I did not change their colour.

Lantern - On a frosty morning

 

 Hello everyone!

 

 Have you discovered the new lantern kit here ???

I love lanterns that spread warmth and light, 

especially during the dark season.

Today the version with gothic windows. 

I chose the birch wood version with perspex

 and added some MDF parts. 

I treated the perspex windows with frost spray, which creates

 beautiful ice flowers and provides a magical atmosphere.

 When the electric tea light is lit, it looks like a sunrise on a frosty morning.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 Creative Tip:

 

 The MDF parts were not painted but finished with white gesso

 using the dry brush technique. 

This creates a good contrast to the warm birch wood tone.

 The lantern was shaded only at the corners with liquid walnut ink.

Cobweb House in Winter

 

Hello!

 

....  and suddenly it was winter 😀

The time goes by so fast. A classic Halloween house, which has just been lost in the fog,

 experiences the first snow.

 Felix the tomcat seems to be very comfortable. 

He walks across the roof with ease.

Cobweb House MDF Wood Kit 

 

I fell in love with this unique house immediately. 

However, I couldn't use it for Halloween.

 I didn't want to wait until next October, so I put it into hibernation.

 I removed a few cobwebs (which I saved for future projects) and added wintry colours to turn this beautiful new kit into a winter home decor object.

It radiates cosiness and warmth while being illuminated by an electric tea light.

Little christmas lantern - 3D Kit

 

Hello everyone!

 

Have you seen the latest 3D lantern kits???

Amazing,  also as a gift idea to assemble yourself.

You can glue them together quickly with wood glue. 

I chose the option  -Engraved - with some filigree snowflakes.

Extra Tip!

There is a small hole in the centre of the lantern

 to fit the tip of an electric tea light, 

the plastic sleeve acts as a small base, great!

 

 

 

I decorated the lantern with some slightly glittering snow effects, 

after all, we're all dreaming of white christmas, right? 😀

 

Perspex windows were sprayed with ice crystal spray, 

the ice flower effect on the panes creates a magical atmosphere.

I also glued the little boy with the sledge in the middle of the lantern

 (the shape was cut in two and glued offset). 

The lighting creates interesting shadow effects.

3D Kit Mushroom - Enchanted Forest

 

Hello everyone!

 

 Today I present you another newly designed 3d kit. It is a giant mushroom 

(I chose the 3mm version) that can be made for example as a toadstool or a boletus.

It has become a wonderful autumn table decoration for me, 

creating a charming and cosy atmosphere with the help of a simple electric tea light.

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Creative Tip

 

The visible joints on the stem of the mushroom were disrupting the overall appearance,

 so I chose to cover them. 

I decided to use a thicker, monochrome scrapbook paper.

 

 I cut it to size, using the plate left over from pressing out the MDF parts as a template. 

 The paper was then lightly moistened and covered with a wood pattern 

using a 3D embossing folder. 

 

 Then glued on and colour matched accordingly with dry brush technique.
