Maybe you are looking forward to the winter and Christmas season as much as I do? I’m already in full crafting mood and decorate the apartment with homemade decoration elements. Today I show you my first Christmas DIY this year: a Christmas ball as vase with dried flowers.
Dried flowers are just so simply to use and should not be missed in the Christmas season. For today’s DIY, a Christmas ball serves as vase for dried flowers, such as pampas grass, bunnytail, lunaria and eucalyptus. The small Christmas decoration is attached to a wooden star and makes a beautiful table decoration.
