I've always loved snow globes because they're so whimsical and it's just full of wintery goodness! Especially when you shake it and the 'snow' goes around...how cool would it be to make your own?

2. Christmas Wreaths

Everyone needs a Christmas wreath at the front of their door! My favourite is the very top multi-coloured felt one if you're after something quirky, but I also love the very right one in the second row as it's more classy, yet has that festive vibe. I envy people who can make these :(

Here's a sneak peek of how my house is decorated :D

Presents from the family - I spy one with my name on it ;)

Hope you guys have a fabulous Christmas Eve and are just as excited as I am!

Christmas Countdown // 3 Days = 3 DIY Wrap 'em ups!

3 more days to Christmas! Yayyyy!

Have you finished your Christmas shopping/wrapping yet? If not, here is 3 amazing gift wrapping ideas that are sure to make your presents stand out from the rest!

My wrapping skills are abysmal - as long as it covers the gift, I'm good to go :P But these have given me a whole lot of inspiration!

If you want more Christmas themed things, I did a post on Nail Art Ideas and Recipes to try out!

*All DIY steps come from their respective creative owners!*

1. Reindeer Paper Bag

 I think these would be amazing for little kids - they'll love them! Or if the gift isn't that big or bulky, you can just pop it into a simple brown paper bag and decorate it a la Rudolph!

2. Santa

Another fun, festive, quirky one! And all you need is different coloured paper!

3. Personalised wrapping

This is more ideal for adults or for that classy event/gift. All you really need is ribbon and brown paper! I love how you can write messages on the wrapping to make it more personalised and special (:

And because I saw this and could not not share it...here are some more wrapping ideas! Unleash that creativity!

I was pretty boring for my wrapping this year :P I had left over wrapping paper from last year so I just used that... but I would definitely love to try these though!

I love how there's a combination of Christmassy themed things going on in this so if you don't know which to choose... CHOOSE THEM ALL! The Santa Claus and Candy cane stripes are the best in my opinion (:

If you're not into hard core Christmas novelty themed nails, this is more subtle, classy and still festive (:
