A Cozy Holiday Crafting Video // DIY Ornaments
OOOO buddy...I am sure ready for some sewing after all the other projects I have been caught up in lately! I promise I have a fun 1940's dress coming up later in the month here on Patreon ✨ As I have finally got my dining area put back together, I decided to allow festive season to commence with a bug themed bang. Spiderwebs and beetles, do you really expect anything less from me at this point?

Thank you for your support and patience, I'll be back with more fun stuff soon!

It’s always fun to see how people decorate for Christmas in different countries. Although I do realize your tree is a bit different. I think? 🤔 I’m guessing the cookies with spices is more traditional? And making your decorations as well. I grew up in Denmark doing that as well but for the Christmas tree I would say they would almost always be out of paper.
Amazing tree!
Really, really pretty!
I'm not a Christmas person, but your tree is beautiful and suits well. That said, love me some DIY crafts Thank you for sharing.
Your tree is so beautiful and so appropriate to you and your home! I’m definitely going to have to try making those cinnamon ornaments, I hadn’t seen them before. My tree is a lot more eclectic (possibly eccentric?) than beautiful. Many moons ago I decided to buy Christmas ornaments as souvenirs and so now my tree is a mix of kitschy vacation themed ornaments, fancy German glass ornaments, and my husband’s Star Wars and Star Trek ornaments (that have flashing lights and play an audio track). It’s definitely A Look but I love it.
Happy holidays!!! The tree looks so good! Exactly your style! I love making ornaments and creating a different look for my tree every year❤️ it’s always so fun to do some “low stakes” creative stuff as the weather gets terrible and the people-ing outside of the home even more so 😅
Your tree is so beautiful! I don't know about the US, but in Canada we can get those wooden cut outs at the dollar store. I just remembered that I have a bunch to decorate.
Thank you, Bianca! Your tree is wonderfully you!! I wonder what your mother thinks… it must be so much fun for her to see you making your own home & seeing you make your dreams reality. Even your temporary dreams are pretty fabulous. And honestly, the bug cloches… cherry on the cake. So You!! Now those cinnamon ornaments are tempting me…. I made notes. I hope I can find time to make them. We shall see! 🎄💚 Thank you for the gorgeousness & sharing. You are a treasure yourself!
I have a puppy play pen around my Christmas tree so my rabbit doesn't eat it or chew power cords. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H904WI?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1
I honestly tried to train S'more by squirting him with water every time he went for branches and cords but I ended up with a wet rabbit instead. The play pen saves both of us.
Thanks again, your creativity is beyond! So amazing!
I litterally watched your last video and sat like "Wow, getting a video with Christmas ornaments from Bianca would be a treat!" And here it is! Christmas came early! 😁
Gorgeous tree! Thanks for the ornament recipe. :)
THAT was delightful delirious and delicious. Thank you for the lovely opulence!
Also if you haven’t seen this artist, she’s amazing. Paints still life in the style of the old Dutch Masters: https://youtube.com/@amarinslyklema?si=5nxGE1vGd3guE5EP
OMG. That is the most STUNNING Christmas tree I think I have ever seen!
Loving how your tree turned out! I'm personally looking out for a mid century aluminum tree that's in my budget and that my cats will ignore (hopefully). Until then, I have a little 18" plastic guy that is absolutely packed with nothing but collectable Hallmark train ornaments.
Beautiful tree and the perfect vibe.
Gorgeous!!!! This tree is just so you! I opted out of trees for the foreseeable future, my two babies would just not be cooperative, so I had to make a choice. So now I live vicariously through other people's trees and decor lol.
Such a beautiful tree! I got myself a real table top tree this year, and I've put the tree stand inside a blue and white ceramic planter. Finished decorating it yesterday and it brings me so much joy to see every day
My tree is “frosty and mysterious” … bugs, skulls, birds & mushrooms…
This is so so pretty! My tree is what my partner calls "rustic vom-eclectic" as my mother gave me an ornament every year till my kid was born (the kid now gets an ornament every year) - so there's a LOT of weird crap going on. I almost want to get a 2nd tree to do something like yours, cause it is stunning!
Loved the wonderful crafting video to get me into the mood for the season! Tasting History definitely trained me to expect a “clack clack” when you said hard tack 😂
Saaaame!
That's gorgeous! I just got my tiny real tree up today, and it's the first year with my rescue cats. They've not destroyed anything yet...
