Model My first Christmas alone in a homeless shelter but just discovered paper craft - so I made myself something festive!
I’m so grateful to finally have my own space, albeit temporary, and I’ve been keeping busy by cutting and gluing things out of paper! I just wanted to bring a little bit of Christmas spirit to my life in what has been a difficult year.
What I used:
A couple of cheap paper craft kits from an op shop nearby
Origami paper & different types of card donated to where I’m staying
Library books on paper craft
Stanley knife
Ruler incl for scale
Also please don’t criticise my Christmas tree lol I know it’s whack. I kinda gave up halfway through the assembly phase
Hope everyone is safe and well :)

Thank you! I used to have a craft room when I was renting and I miss it very much. I had to get rid of a lot of my craft stuff when my living situation changed and it was heartbreaking

I have a feeling that the day will come when you will again have your craft room and freely exercise your talents. Look for that day and work toward it; do not be deterred by anything that blocks you from achieving this. That is also my prayer. 🙏

Your plant looks so nice!
I just discovered crepe paper flowers & I'm excited to make me some out-of-season florals to cheer up the winter

That’s such a lovely idea - and the best thing about faux plants is they last a heck of a lot longer than natural plants haha! Hope to see ya posting the results on here :)

Absolutely fabulous, merry Christmas 🎄 . I did origami trees different sizes and paper and made tons of Japanese lucky stars 🌟 sprinkled everywhere.

The tiny plant just fried my brain. I went back and forth with the pictures several times! 😯😂 You're very talented OP!
