Make snowflakes dance:

 

Honestly I could never imagine  a Christmas without watching Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet, "The Nutcracker", where today’s DIY comes from (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFsh80k2u30&feature=related). This is by  far my favorite Christmas DIY J and just for fun I created a link to watch the full ballet on YouTube; but take your snow flakes from the previous tutorial and make them dance!


Step 1: find your ballerinas by googling ballerinas

Step 2: find three different ballerinas, trace them on to a sheet of copy paper, then cut them out

  Step 3: Next you cut a circle in the middle of the snowflake and slip it on to the ballerina, making it a cute    snowflake fairy!




This cute holiday decoration is easy to make and if you tie a string around her arm you can hang it from ceilings, Christmas tree or house

The ladies behind the blog: Julia



Julia:  Since forever, I've day dreamed about the day when I finally shed the skin of my pure awkward, self questioning, zit faced, semi-fatty and completely oblivious (and pardon my cliché) caterpillar physique to adopt…anything else. Particularly a skinny healthy and beautiful girl, whose is headstrong, dainty, crafty, clever, cute, and ultimately unorthodox…but somehow works. And now that I'm 17, a senior and sit just as caterpillar-ie as I was the same day I dreamed up the fantasy; I realized that in my quest to magically have someone sprinkle fairy shit on my face and poof me to awesomeness- I understood that if you want to be the person of your fantasy you have to create it by failing and flailing all the way. It's not going to be easy, but if you have things any other way, it's not beautiful. if you help a caterpillar out of the cocoon it will die never knowing the sky. No, you have to let it struggle and flail until it creates it's magic and sours higher than ever. this blog is about reaching new heights in a healthy and wonderful way, I welcome you join me…or don't but I'm done with ordinary I want to be...
