Jouluisia miniatyyrejä on kerääntynyt vuosien varrella, joten viime vuonna tein uuden jouluaiheisen huoneen. Teemana on jouluvalmistelut. Lisää kuvia flickr-albumissani Jouluvalmisteluja.
Over the years, I have accumulated a whole bunch of Christmas miniatures. So, last year I built this Christmas-themed miniature. The theme is Christmas preparations. More photos in my flickr-album.
What you need is a small lantern, some cotton balls for snow, and a battery operated tea light (optional). For decorating the inside you can choose what ever you like but mine are all miniatures: a Christmas tree, a pair of skis, a sledge with gifts, and two tiny elves.
If you do not have the Christmas tree, it is easy to make from the top of a bottle brush: just cut it to the length you want and spray paint with a color of your choice - Christmas trees today come in all different colors.
The skis are a gift but fairly easy to construct e.g. from ice-cream sticks. The red sledge is actually a wooden Christmas tree decoration and the gifts were wrapped by me. I made the two tiny elves from wooden beads. The red bow is from a box of chocolates
For "frosty" look (no pun intended), I used some snow spray on the roof and all the windows except for the front one.
Pitkän ja lämpimän kesän jälkeen on syytä varautua viilenevään säähän. Virkkasin uuden, lämpimän jakun neidille.
After a long and occasionally even hot summer, it is time to prepare for cooler weather. Therefore, I crocheted a new, warm jacket for this young lady. Instructions? I did not have a pattern. I just played by the ear.
