DIY Starry Advent Calendar // Nale's House

Cotton Ball Wreath // Learning, Creating, Living


Technically, it never gets cold enough for hot chocolate when living on the equator, but that doesn't stop me from splurging on some imported marshmallows to drop in a mug of hot cocoa! Now I want to host a cute party like this one:



I actually made a star like this one as a tree-topper last year, but I appreciate the tutorial and extra tips that are given in this post on how to make the star into an ornament.

Paper Star Ornament // A Life In Balance
