The time of the year that everyone is excited for is coming, so here are three easy DIYs to help you for Christmas.

Ball light

Things you need:

• a bowl
• red and green rope
• balloons
• some liquid glue
• lights
• a hair dryer*

Steps:

1. In the bowl put some glue and a little bit of water (to make the texture more liquid).
2. Inflate the balloons (the number of balloons you will make will represent the number of ball light you will have).
3. Put the rope on the glue and wrap it around the balloon. It needs to cover it all and letting some holes.
4. Do step 3 with all the balloons.
5. Dry the glue with a hair dryer (or wait one night*).
6. When the glue is dry, pop the balloons  (if you feel that the rope is not hard enough you can add glue).
7. Put your ball of rope around lights and hang them on the wall.

Christmas candle jar

Things you need:

• 2 transparent jar
• red and green acrylic paint
• large tape
• a rope
• hot glue gun

Steps:

1. On a piece of tape draw two Christmas tree (if your tape is not large enough put many strips together).
2. Cut your shapes and stick them on each jar.
3. Paint your two jars, one with green acrylic paint and the other with red acrylic paint.
4. When the paint is dry, take off the tape.
5. Glue two pieces of rope on each top of your jar and finish it with a loop.
6. Put fake snow
7. Put a candle on the bottom of each jar and light them to make a relaxed Christmas atmosphere.

Snowflakes

Things you need:

      end to make a square.
   2. Turn your piece of paper that it looks like a diamond shape.
   3. Cut 7 strips on each side like the picture (do not cut in the middle so that all the bands hold together).
   4. Glue together the first two strips. Make this step also with the third the fifth and the seventh pair of branches.
   5. Turn the square and do the same thing with the others strips.
   6. Repeat the first steps 6 times.
