Simply Christmas!

Technologies

Every year, Advent is also time for handicrafts. Calendars, candlelight and culinary delights are very creative and often very easy to make – because when it's homemade it's simply more fun.

Christmas is not a season – Christmas is a feeling! We'll still have to wait a while for festive meals and presents. However, we can already begin to create a pleasant ambiance ... The pre-Christmas season awakens the desire for coziness and enjoyment – and for a festively decorated home. In our do-it-yourself magazine, tesa reveals the perfect recipes for homemade decorations to celebrate this joyful season.

Colorful lights shine in front gardens, stars twinkle in windows, the scent of pine wood wafts through the house. How can we make the next few weeks of Advent even more beautiful? So, let's roll up our sleeves: Not just for baking cookies, but also when trying out successful decorative ideas that you can make yourself, from Advent calendars to decorative stars. We've put together a variety of decoration ideas for your cozy home and collected them in words and pictures on our website for all pre-Christmas highlights, including material lists and handicraft instructions. This way, we're all set to create a truly unique wall decoration or a frosty shimmering lantern. The materials are easy to come by or you may even have them at home in your drawer. Often you only need a pair of scissors, and the instructions are easy to understand even for beginners. 

Simply Christmas

So, small and large handicrafts ideas transform into a pleasant leisure activity and contemplative anticipation of the festive days. With our many special products, tesa holds every work of art safely together or in place – and leaves no traces after the holidays. 

With these decoration ideas, the festive season brings even greater joy. More inspirations are available here. (opens in a new window or tab)

Our Christimas tips for you

Enjoy your DIY icy lanterns!

Icy Lanterns

A warm light in a frosty glass

With storms and snows outside, Christmas is just around the corner. Frosty times can also be cozy times – warming up all our senses. The "icy lanterns" from our tesa inspirations can create a special ambiance: simply using an empty jam jar, tesa® masking tape, paper, ice flower spray, and a tea light. It's an easy trick: A star motif made of paper is attached to the outside of the jar with painter's tape, and the entire glass is sprayed with the ice flower spray. Allow to dry and then peel off the paper – and see the frost come in!

Popsicle Stars

Stars on a popsicle stick

Ice and winter go together. For the many popsicle sticks that you need for these stylish stars, you don't have to lick tons of ice cream – you may simply buy them at handicraft supplies. They are glued together to form stars using the tesa® multi-purpose adhesive pen and then attached to the wall with tesa Powerstrips®. One single star or many little stars: nicely tied to golden ribbons, maybe even embellished with a little pine green or bows: a heavenly eye-catcher!

Make a wish – for a happy new year!
