Stargate and mixed cuttings

I was pondering tablescape of Christmas Eve.
I need to set table with mixed things,
because I don't have enough f.e. plates alike.
It seems there will be 8 adults and 5 children.
And I do have few new plates I bought from flea market
- which I of course want to use.
I don't have service plates either.
So I needed something.

And cut rounded covers from same paper table cover I used in Kekri under plates.


Paper was wrinkled,
so I put some press on them
old encyclopedias are very useful
- in hope they will get plain.
Otherwise I need to try ironing,
and that can turn out very interesting...

Just because there was "leftovers" after,
I decided to cut some stars.
I used gingerbread mold to get decent shape.

And got soon some help...

Made it very easy when tail was whipping around...
someone is sitting on paper stars...
And when I once started "crafting",
I decided to do something like these:
Cookie Cutter Ornaments

And digged up few molds and chose stars and hearts.
I covered them with ribbon...

Even though Roksu decided to get a nap on my work...

I managed to get them done...
and hanged on lamp.
Have seen more fabulous decor during my life...
But I wasn't ready yet.
I also cut few snowflakes from paper napkins.

And as I had huge pile of paper stars
- and no slices idea,
what to do them,
I am now having stars on library window...

On closet door...

And stargate into kitchen:

I think my crafting for Christmas is done.
At least I hope so.

    Hitto että mua nauratti toi kattinen heiluvine häntineen. Se on kumma kun noiden elikoiden pitää tunkea joka paikkaan - sama se on meillä Aljohin kans :D

    1. Hihhii, nämä meikäläisen askartelut taitavat olla sellaisia, että niistä selviää myös nainen, josta eräs poliitikko mennä vuosina mainitsi... :-DDD Juu, on tuon kissavanhuksen kanssa erikoista se, että muuten kyllä viettää siestaa mukavimmilla lepopaikoilla, mutta kun jotain käy tekemään, niin siihen on pakko tulla mukaan. Joskus meinaa mennä ihan riidaksi asti, kun en huoli mukaan ruoanlaittoon...
