DIY Advent Calendar Part 1 - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 3

Hey everyone! Welcome to another day of #Blogmas here on Sukilu Crafts.

Today on day #3 will be part 1 of how to make your own advent calendar. I will also be showing you how to put it together so be sure to stay tuned for that! 

I experimented last year making my ow advent calendar but it didn't turn out exactly how I planned. I love how it turned out this year though and I think my granddaughters are going to love them! 

This is a perfect idea for someone who doesn't like chocolate or if just want to fill it with something other than food. I know that things like Shopkins are extremely popular with children at the moment.

They are pretty easy to make but as you need to create 25 then it does take up quite a few supplies. It's well worth it thought in my opinion.

If you want to find out how to make your own the just keep reading.

Handmade Gift Tags - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 2

Hey everyone and welcome to day 2 of Blogmas!!

I hope you enjoyed the first post last night where I showed you how you can make your own christmas crackers! If you haven't seen that post yet check it out here.

Today I wanted to show you something very simple yet fun in my opinion.

Handmade gift tags! I wanted to make something slightly different to your typical christmas gift tag. You can add as much decoration - like pictures or sentiments - as you would like and still have more than enough room to write your message.

You can make these whatever shape, size, colour you would like and they take no time at all!

DIY Christmas Cracker - #24DaysOfBlogmas Day 1

Hey everyone! Welcome to an exciting time here on Sukilu Crafts.

Me and Danielle really wanted to do something special for christmas and we come up with the idea to do Blogmas (a take on Vlogmas). In the next 24 days you will get a post from us every single day. They will all be christmas related! There may even be a special giveaway at the end.

To kick of Blogmas I will show you how you can make your own christmas cracker! The beauty of making your own christmas crackers is that you can fill it with whatever goodie you like. Also a lot of christmas crackers make a loud noise when you pull them - not these ones!

You can also customise the colours of your crackers to match your decor! They are pretty easy to make but one tool you need to make it work better is a paper cutter with a perforated blade. This will just create small slits in your card stock to allow it to rip smoothly. You can achieve this in another way which I will explain to you later in the post.
