Hey guys, I am Dany Martines
And today´s video is the third Christmas edition of this year
But before starting the DIYs I want to introduce you guys to my friend Alex from
"Manual da Cozinha" he has prepared this delicious churros volcano cake
OMG it is so delicious, so after watching this video here
go ahead and take a look at his channel. And today I will be teaching how to do a fireplace
3 years ago I did this one and you guys love it
So I decided to recreate this idea for you!
And after the fireplace DYI I will teach you many other incredible ideas
to decorate your Christmas. Let´s go!
Where do we start?
What do we need to make a fireplace?
I know! Paper craft boxes! I started preparing a foundation
with 2 boxes with 7 cm each
put them together and wrap them all with a black cover
I am using adhesive paper which is very easy and now we are going to build
the fireplace. I am using about four boxes from 20 cm
X 30 cm to create the columns and in the top
I filled the fireplace with longer boxes, these one have an average of
20 cm X 40 cm, they only need to be together
in order to close the fireplace
and now I will wrap it all with white cardboard, and see how it came out!
oh and the inside part of the fireplace I am wrapping up with
black cardboard and I will paste an entire black cardboard paper
in the back part to close up the fireplace. Later on I did a larger base
to close up the top part. I wrapped it with
a red foam paper and the side walls with white foam paper and now we
just paste it on the top. Oh and to make it more charming
I decided to place a piece of cardboard in an arch form
and covered the entire front part and
paste it in front of the fireplace. Now it is time to do the small bricks
the easiest is to cut small peices of red adhesive paper
because it is adhesive and with the measurements in the back part
for you to cut. I am starting in this rounded part
I cut small pieces of 4cm X 7 cm
after that I filled the entire fireplace with larger bricks
from 14 x 7 cm. Fill the entire front part
and the side parts and look how charming it is!
I am falling for this DIY, what about you guys?
There is one thing missing: a chimney. I am using cereal boxes
I stacked up 4 cereal boxes and wrapped up them with
cardboard and paste the red bricks
and for the top I cut half cereal box and wrapped up with black adhesive paper
Now it is time to be creative and decorate it
in the front part I decide to put this tinsel
and I stuck all around with some
pins. And in the middle I decided to attach a bow.
and now we are going to do some DIYs of some different Christmas trees
for you to decor your house
I cut a triangle in a recycled cardboard box
like a pine format. I applied some glue and
past a triangle shaped styrofoam
And right on the top I paste a cork sheet
and to make it look even more like a Christmas tree I
we are going to be paiting it with
green PVA paint. I am using this sponge to paint
I like the effect and what is good is that it fill the entire space
of the cork. After it dries I past in all the contour
a green foam paper strip. Look how it turn out.
I bought an gold elastic
and some colored pins. The idea is to
attach the elastic with the pins and attaching backwars and forwards
like if it were an Christmas Tree ornaments. And I love how it turned out You can use this tree to place some notes and
pictures you love. If you are enjoying the ideas, don´t
forget to give it a thumbs up!
For this next idea we will be also using recycled cardboard
Cut it in a very tall pine format and don´t forget the tree trunk
Cut 4 equal parts and paste
it one on top of the other. Now you just need to wrap it all with green paper
I am using green paperboard, but you can use any paper you have at home
and to decorate the tree I am pasting these beautiful rhinestones
and these heart shaped rhinestones. And don´t
forget to cover the tree trunk too. I am using paperboard in brown collor.
And you can create as many trees as you like. Look at this other one
I paste some satin ribbon in the diagonal and
it came out like this, and my pines are ready!
I think it is very easy and cheap to do! And see how charming it came out! Don´t you think?
For our next Christmas Tree I took a piece of paperboard
and I rolled up in a cone format and cut the bottom part
to make it stand
and to decor I am going to be using
this bright ribbon. I will start pasting in the top
the dark green ribbon, shortly thereafter the light green ribbon
and then a gold ribbon. Then you just have to apply the hot glue and
roll the ribbons very carefully in the same order
It takes a little bit to reach at the bottom, but the result is so incredible
that makes it worth. And look how gorgeous,
how shine it is! And to make it even more bright
I decided to put inside a led light, and in the dark
it still being nice. And this Christmas tree
will join my fireplace too. Look how beautiful it is!
I am going to apply couple more decorations I have here at home. And there is even a Santa Claus
climbing the chimney. Look how pretty it is!
To finish our fireplace I decided
to try a new idea. We will start using colored paper tissue, those you use to make kites
we will need red, yellow and orange paper tissue
cut it in a flame format. You can find the mold in my Pinterest
And we also are going to need 3 barbecue skewers
each barbecue skewers will be paste in the bottom of each sheet
I am using the cold silicone glue, that does not damage the paper
to make it perfect you just need to apply the glue and roll it up a little bit
apply the glue again and roll it up again and wait until it dries
do the same for each paper collor.
and now it is time to create the box
start cutting the paperbox next to the bottom,
almost from the outside, this part is to better
circulate the air, but wait, you will understand how it works
in the top part I cut an small rectangle almost in the center
in the box. And to make it even more beautiful I wrapped it with a brown paper
and I drawed some patterns similar to wood
and we will be pasting now the fire on the top!
From the biggest to the smallest
and the paper has to be always pointing to the top
make sure you leave a gap between each of them
if it is necessary apply some more glue over the barbecue skewers
I bought a very small fan
and put it inside the box
Remember that your box has to fit your fan inside
I left an space behind for the fan energy cable, preferably in the back part
And I also put a led light poiting to the paper sheets
to make an "fire" effect. Now you just have to turn your fan on
organizing your sheets and there it goes!
you have the fire of your fireplace
when you turn of the lights it really looks like
a real fire! And now finally my fireplace
is complete and the most beautiful thing
it is absolute impossible not to love Christmas time! I am always
fascinated by the Christmas lights and when I walk down the streets
I get crazy with my neighbors decorations. And if you also love this time of the year
