DIY – Do It Yourself
Leipzig is full of shops where you can get your hands dirty and create ceramics, macrame, jewelry, natural cosmetics, etc. One of these Places for creative events and workshops is the store little fawn, not far from Lake Cospuden. Axel and Paula have arranged to meet the owner Suse Regitz, who will introduce them to the DIY world is.
With your help, we will be creating a sustainable Advent wreath that can be re-decorated with the changing seasons.
Let's start!
The large workshop table already contains the various materials for transformable wreath spread out: wicker baskets, floral foam, fir, thuja, ornamental rose hips, ornamental apples and much more. These come from their own gardens, those of friends or from the flower fairy right down the street.
First, the soaked floral foam cut into small pieces to place them well in the basket. To Candlesticks To beautifully stage the wreath, the floral foam is covered with moss at the selected spots. If you decide against the 4 candle holders, place a candle jar and thus detaches itself more from the Advent wreath idea. In both variants, the wreath is now decorated all around as desired with small branches and twigs of cut greenery The ornamental rose hips, ornamental apples, larch cones and eucalyptus are also used now. If you like, you can finally decorate the wreath with Glitter, Christmas balls, angels or bells decorate.
When the season is over, simply remove the old elements, soak the planting material again and redesigned as desired .
Crafting fun for young and old
Suse Regitz is a teacher with heart and soul, which is why the little ones are the focus in her shop, kleineRehkitz. Children from the age of 6 can celebrate their birthdays here and choose from numerous creative workshops. The range on the website is large and ranges from soap fun to slime and glitter to flower crowns.
Workshops for adults and families are also held at the kleineRehkitz with a minimum of 6 participants. It is important that you register and book a workshop in advance so that Suse Regitz can obtain all the necessary materials and provide them for you.
Just do it
For many children, the joy of crafting After a visit to Suse Regitz, the children will not give up – on the contrary. Lovingly packed boxes, which can be ordered and purchased, give the children at home the necessary materials and incentives for other great projects and own ideas.
Additionally, Sustainability is important to Suse Regitz. In her shop you can Let creativity flow, try things out and start tinkering without buying everything you need yourself. Some projects are ultimately just one-off projects and it would be a shame to let the things gather dust in the closet later. Providing materials, preparing and guiding workshops by Suse Regitz, they also offer less keen craft fans the opportunity to get a taste of the DIY world. Often you don’t even know which Talente inside you and what you are capable of.
So grab your loved ones, forget the stress of everyday life and try it yourself!
