Advents 4th Door : Printable Fortune Tellers

I remember making origami fortune tellers when I was little and filling them with silly jokes and dares and fortune predictions for siblings and friends. Then, introducing them to my kids and now its their 'go to' paper napkin trick. They're really good fun, simple to make and good fun coming up with silly ideas to put inside.

We found these adorable festive themed ones on a great little crafty blog and love their festive faces. There's four different styles to make; Rudolf, Father Christmas and Elf and a pretty patterned gift. The kids have loved them and were easily able to assemble them by themselves. A great craft to have on hand to busy little hands and keep them entertained.

Advents 2nd Door

Its the 2nd of December and the children are begging to begin the decorating and asking when we'll be getting the tree. Though its far too early for our tree and i'm no where near ready for tinsel, pretty paper fans in delicate colours are just as happy hung up now or in the summer. So we've been making these beautiful paper snowflakes, printing them onto coloured and patterned card and threading them together hung in groups and here and there and used for pretty miniature garlands around the home. 

So simple to make and utterly addictive in their instant satisfaction these medallions that began as their playroom decorations have slowly drifted along the hallway into bedrooms and soon no doubt will be seen everywhere.... But thats just fine. They're beautiful and already our home feels like Christmas has arrived.
