Jeg har en mor, som går rigtig meget op i pynt til alle højtider hele året. Specielt julepynt er én af hendes helt store interesser. Hun ejer en masse meget gammelt julepynt, som altid kommer op uanset hvilken julestil hun vælger – ja vælger, for hun kører meget i stilarter og specifikke farver til jul. F.eks. var der et år, hvor det var sort, gul og hvid, og i år er det Annie Sloan julestilen…

During Christmas time, Danes make these woven Christmas hearts to decorate their trees and they are called Julehjerter. They can also be used to hold pebernødder like a basket.  We had a very hyggelig time at Jessy and Solveig's place, the live in the cutest little apartment that is just so warm and cozy. 

Christina, candlelight and flowers. 

Homemade marshmallows. 

I need to get the name for these flowers, they're so pretty. 

sooooooo much sugar.......

happy crafters. 

Tak! My first Julehjerter, although it looks more like an apple....

When I'm crafting, I get really into it...

Marie mastered the Danish star.

The final product!

My half completed Danish star...

 Our resident Dane Penny helped us to create these lovely paper hearts and we also attempted to make the Danish stars, but were a bit less successful.  There was Christmas music playing in the background (Sufjan, Mariah to Sinatra), Christmas tea-a-brewin and beautiful candlelight to guide our crafting.  

This website is really poorly designed and it's for children... but it had the clearest instructions...in english that I could find if you want to make these yourselves at home!

And with these you can go as simple or as complicated as you like...

Enjoy!

Much love,
