✨Christmas crafting this weekend?✨

If you’d like to make these Christmas 🌟you can use any paper. I’ve used old magazines and wrapping paper. 

For example cut 2 squares measuring 15cm. Fold as shown. Mark 3cm on each straight side and cut. Fold & stick as shown. Stick the 2 stars together. Thread cotton through one point to hang.

For me, it's about embracing tradition over religion; I love the ritual and the warm glow of candlelight during winter. Friends and family may meet and toast the season with a glass of glögg (mulled wine) accompanied by pepparkakor and saffron buns. (More on Saffron buns next week!)

Happy 1st Sunday of Advent to those who celebrate ✨
