Recycle&Reuse: Transform old Christmas tree ornaments into sparkly new ones inspired by Fabergè Eggs

Maybe you bought new ornaments and you don't like old ones anymore but please wait before tossing them away. Your old Christmas decorations can get a new look with white glue, glitters and some beads. After the DIY  trasformation they'll look better than new ones. For the makeover I got inspiration from Fabergé eggs, the famous, unique jeweled russian eggs.

Light carpet by Imu design

This is by far my favorite xmas decoration idea, a crochet light carpet! It looks like a giant crochet doilie! It can live also outside Christmas but  is easier to find the light tubes in shops in this time of the year. I can't wait to crochet light tubes! We can also make different shapes with the tube.


Oh Christmas! The house feels warm and inviting in this time of the year. I always look for unique ideas to enrich my collection of Christmas decorations. I don't know the origin of the Christmas madness that makes us want transform the house, invite friends over and sing along but I like it. I confess, maybe Santa's house is a little sober than mine at Christmas. Get inspired and overstuff the house.
