Beautiful ice lanterns

How to make...




Photo Kodin Kuvalehti

You need buckets (1x10ltr and 1xsmaller), minus temperatures, water and some patience..

1. Fill the large bucket about 3/4 full of water.

2. Place rocks or some heavy items inside the small container to weigh it down, about halfway down inside the large bucket. The top of the smaller container should be about even with the top of the large bucket.


3. Freeze the bucket of water by placing it outside when it gets minus temperatures. Set it aside until frozen solid.


4. Run warm water over the outside of the large bucket.

5. Run some warm water inside the small container to loosen it, easier to remove it. This then leaves the spot where to set the candle.

6. Make several lanterns and place them along your driveway or sidewalk.

Brown Paper Xmas wrapping&deko


Brown paper is just so versatile and creates that down to earth eco look for your presents and decorations. 
Also old maps are another great way of recycling,  
use them as wrapping or may be cut some little stars out of them and hang in your tree...
Little hearts below can be created into a chain with sewing machine- easy!

Happy herbs

 Decorating with herbs...


For herbs you won't be needing a large garden.
They grow happily in small places like, patio, porch or windowsill.
Old enamel bucket, plastic coated basket or tin can will work as a great planter.
You can create your own sings with wooden sticks and splash of chalkboard pain.
Display herbs on windowsill to enliven the room.

Pastel Pink

 Decorating with pale pink

Decorating with light shade of pink is a wonderful way to soften up the room. Combine with white, blues or pearl shade of grey. Use in moderation.
