Market Stall with Dusty Attic

 Hello creative friends!

 Our family loves to visit a Christmas market before Christmas. It's a great way to get into the festive spirit! You can enjoy mulled wine and waffles in the cold weather. 

I was really taken with this market stall when I first saw it. These little cranes and barrel buckets are so cute.
Thanks to very simple and clear assembly instructions, it's quick to put together. 

When I was designing it, I was thinking about the famous Striezelmarkt in Dresden (Germany). There are lots of artisan stalls there. Each one is individually designed with lots of love.
It was tough to decide on a theme for this stand, so I went with a neutral weathered look. I used crackle medium, light acrylic colours and some texture. I covered the roof and back wall with paper.

The crates and barrels were also meant to look a bit worn. They were first painted in different colours with a walnut stain gel and then decorated with a little bit of winter snow. 

You can also create a lovely ambience with a warm LED light.

What makes this piece special is You can fill the boxes with different items at any time to create a completely different look. I'm planning to use it as a sweet and bakery stand next time. 

After Christmas, I don't want to hide it in the cupboard, so I'm already excited to see what it will look like then.

Do not open until Christmas

 Hello!

 Do you know this problem, you've baked loads of biscuits in the run-up to Christmas, but somehow they've all disappeared? 

That's why this year there's a safe hiding place and a gift box that you can't open until Christmas Eve.
Add a few nice Dusty Attic Christmas chippies, and this gift idea becomes something special.

 Oh, well, of course it was always the Grinch who stole the biscuits! 😏😁

 Hello creative friends!

 Transform old items into new ones.
I came across an old Christmas decoration that was in great condition but not my style.

 I choose some Christmas MDF shapes and painted it white and blue and adding some glitter and gold accents. I had a few extra snowflakes from the snowflake wreath, so I used them as Christmas tree toppers. With a few bows, cones and bells, I quickly put together a new decoration to wish visitors a merry Christmas in the hallway.

Christmas Deco - Vintage sled

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

 There's nothing like the desire for snow at Christmas. Imagine a Christmas evening

 by the crackling fireplace, in the glow of the candles and the snow trickling softly outside. Unfortunately, it's just a wish these days, 

so I've made it the theme on this amazing vintage-style sleigh.

 It's very easy to assemble. There are so many ways you can design it.

 I used the lettering 'Let it snow', painted and decorated with  textured snow

 and white embossing powder for the snow stars and fir branches. 

I also added a few extra decorations like bells, ribbons, cones,

 feathers and pompoms to make a sleigh you can either hang or stand upright.

 I hope you have a great Advent season!
