Create Christmas Magic With These DIY Tricks

Christmas DIY Decor

I may be the last person to put up my Christmas tree; it’s not because I don’t like Christmas trees, I love them, especially the white ones. I just haven’t had the time. There’s also the fact I’ve been thinking about doing things a bit differently this year, and my cute little plans will require extra time. So basically, I was thinking more in line of DIY decorations – something a little more hands on to make the tradition more meaningful and create some bonding time with my partner.

Imagine putting cute Christmas stickers around the house then cutting them up and signing messages on each one? Seems like a thoughtful alternative or complement to add to a traditional Christmas tree if you already have one. The DIY culture is slowly gaining the rave in Naija and things are no different this holiday. If you are looking for more ideas, here are a few below:

Recycle household items

You can take an artifact from your kitchen, an old grater or serving spoon and tie a ribbon around it and hang it. It is fun, practical and you can always use it after the celebration. You can also use items that have fond memories for you and your partner. It could also be some of the children’s toys, this gives them a sense of receiving the gift afresh.

Create a fancy Christmas board

You don’t actually have to make the board, just buy one and place a red surface on it, then you can have everyone pin a momentum, or card with a special message to someone in the family. I imagine this will typically work better in a large family. The more crowded the board is, the more full of happy thoughts your home would be.

Make your own Christmas ornaments

The highlight of Christmas decor, for me anyway, is definitely the Christmas tree. And you don’t have to spend a lot on Christmas ornaments. You can make really beautiful DIY Christmas tree ornaments with some glitter paper, glue, scissors and some string.

I know it takes time but it’s about the bonding process too. Plus, you may just discover the designer or arts and crafts specialist within you. Lol. On a serious note, 2020 is one year that has taught me resourcefulness and I’ve learnt a lot of new things during quarantine. This could be an opportunity to do the same.

"My 10-year-old self always imagined friendships i "My 10-year-old self always imagined friendships in my 20s being this never-ending sleep over and back-to-back vacations with my uber cool friends. Help me laugh. Well, turns out making or keeping friends isn’t always that easy. I am gradually more aware that to keep a friend, you have to try to be there. I am 100% guilty of not being the best friend sometimes and I am always trying to work on it. I shared a few pointers on how to achieve this." @ellapinkette Link in bio

Mr. O was emotionally abusing me, yet I couldn’t leave him, I thought I couldn’t live without him. And that, is a classic example of a toxic relationship. Anyone can be a victim of toxic relationships because it isn’t limited to romantic relationships only. It can also be with friends & family members. The signs of toxic relationships are broad, but it always involves certain things." Lizzy Temisan

#Repost @milly_aku So, sometime in February 2008, #Repost @milly_aku So, sometime in February 2008, Dr. Priye Iyalla-Amadi sought for a replacement of her international passport and was told by the immigration officials in Port Harcourt that she needed a written permission from her husband first.
What this means is that before a Nigerian married woman can be issued her international passport, she needs to get a letter of consent from her husband.
Apparently irked by this administrative policy that tramples on her right, Dr. Priye Iyalla-Amadi headed straight to court and sued the Nigerian Immigration services (NIS).
NIS justified the requirement by arguing that:
"Married women are classified alongside with minors by the government as persons who require consent from the head of the family".
NIS further argued that the requirement for consent of the husband was put in place to "perpetuate the authority of the man over his wife, no matter the status she had attained in the society".
They also stated that the requirement was set to
"avoid unnecessary breakdown of the marriage institution in the country."
SMH
Anyway, Justice G.K. Olotu, the presiding judge of the Federal High court gave a judgment that has remained a source of exhilaration to every Nigerian woman.
The court threw out as unconstitutional the entrenched age-old oddity that required married women to obtain their husband's consent before acquiring or renewing their international passports.
In her verdict, Justice G.K. Olotu reportedly said,
“This kind of policy has no place in 21st century Nigeria.”
On June 1st 2009, NIS lost the case made against them by Dr. Priye Iyalla-Amadi, a woman who decided to speak up for herself and other women in Nigeria.
This is a gentle reminder to all girls and women, that we are the most important advocates for ourselves.

Cheers to getting older in 2021!🥂

Let’s just say my reaction was very dramatic; I couldn’t believe that I was sprouting grey hairs. I was less than a year from turning thirty at the time. Which begs the question. Why are we afraid of getting older?" Lizzy Temisan. Link in bio.
