The link doesn’t exist anymore, that’s why I present another hot glue stamp.
Personally I find that the hot glue stamp is not only great for Advent time ;-)
Actually you ‘paint’ your design with hot glue on a piece of wood and sand it carefully to get an even surface on your stamp.

The drinking straw star is actually ‘categorized’ as Christmas craft, but it also looks nice in cool blues and greens in summer on the terrace, doesn’t it?
Thanks, Sylvia!

I find this plaster tea light holder cute!
Here is written ‘You make everything better’ on it, but of course you can write everything, from ‘I love you’ to ‘Merry Christmas’ – or also ‘Happy Easter’ ;-)
And should you not like your writing, you have enough place to sketch on the free place or to glue on nice paper napkins and so on and so forth :)

I have here another inexpensive and special decoration for the Christmas meal – if you like broccoli.
Everybody else’d rather use kale ;-)

I’ve presented the string bowl and the yarn bowl before.
The Christmas-y yarn bowl is similar, I only wanted to show how much the choice of yarn affects the look and can relate the bowl to a season.
