You've probably seen it on Instagram, after dried oranges, it's the hottest DIY for Christmas this year. Personally, I was immediately seduced. Why buy new when you can breathe new life into old paper bags with glue and scissors?

As I had everything on hand to execute it and my Christmas decorations were not completely finished, I quietly settled down to do it. Five minutes later, I had the simplest DIY I had done in my life, but surely also one of the most beautiful.

If you do, feel free to share, we'd love to see all your stars!

PAPER STAR

MATERIAL

.

- 7-8 brown paper lunch bags
- Glue
- Scissors
- Ribbon (for hanging - optional)

STEPS

1. To start, put a generous line of glue in the bottom of the bag then in the middle, starting from top to bottom. Then glue the next bag on top, and repeat this for the 7 bags.

2. Once all the bags have been glued together, cut out slightly rounded tips.

3. Finally, unfold everything to glue the remaining ends together. Here is! That's it. You can hang a string, a ribbon or, like me, just put it on a mantelpiece or a sideboard!

MARSEILLE SOAP
The reputation of Marseille soap (made with 72% olive oil) is well established, it is probably the most popular of all the soaps in the world. Extra pure and biodegradable, it has been made the old-fashioned way by hand, in a cauldron, for hundreds of years. There are endless recipes on the web for natural cleansers based on this soap, as much for laundry, home, shaving, etc!

Without palm oil, without animal fat, without perfume, without dye. What else do you want?

For the recipe, it is important to use a real Marseille soap, because regular soaps (with added glycerin) will not allow your laundry to remain liquid.

STEPS

1. Boil water in a saucepan.
2. Add grated soap to boiling water, stir well.
3. Once the soap has completely melted, turn off the heat.
4. Off the heat, add the baking soda and the soda crystals.
5. Leave to stand and stir occasionally to loosen foam and prevent mixture from settling.
6. Once the detergent is very cold, remove the excess foam and pour into a pitcher.

OPTIONAL : Add a few drops of essential oils.

LITTLE TIP: Shake well before each use and enjoy the happiness of a homemade product, made with love! Looking forward to hearing your impressions :)
