Cupcake liner angels Christmas ornaments by Elvi

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here and this year I decided to decorate our tree with cupcake liner decorations mostly. I saw the cupcake owls in Parents magazine and while making the owls with LoLo, the idea of a cupcake liner angel came to me. I made one and it came out so cute, I had to make an entire army of angels for this year's tree ...

Hamarosan itt vannak az unnepek es ebben az evben ugy dontottem, hogy a karacsonyfat muffin papirkakkal diszitem. Egy amerikai magazinban lattam az efele baglyokat, es mikozben LoLoval keszitettuk a nagyszemu madarakat, azon gondolkoztam hogy mast is lehet ugyanigy csinalni. Igy szuletett meg a muffinpapir angyalka. Az iden megprobalom majdnem kizarolagosan muffin papirral disziteni a fat, bar biztosan nem tudom kihagyni majd az elso LoLo szullinapos kepeslapjaibol keszulteket sem ...

What you need: 

cupcake liners - any colors and sizes 

a few spools of one sided scotch tape 

a toilet paper roll 

a ping-pong ball

wool for hair 

silver or gold pipe cleaner for a halo

glue gun, glue, markers 

Hozzavalok: 

muffin papirkak 

cellux ragaszto 

WC papir guriga (papir nelkul)

ping-pong labda

fonal hajnak 

ezust agy arany drot 

ragasztopisztoly

Fold cupcake liners in quarters and stick to the tube one by one. Once the first round is done, carry on with the second row as on the photo. The two rows of liners will create the angel's skirt. Fold liners in half for the upper part of the body and glue with clear tape. When done, pinch the top of the tube so that you have four pinched corners evenly on the tube (neck part), glue-gun together holding all corners tight together and glue dries. Loop wool and tie in one place, glue to the ball ... The rest is pretty self-explanatory. Glue a bow on the angel as a final touch.  .... 

A papirkakat negyedre kell hajtogatni, aztan egyenkent felragasztani a gurigara ket szinten korbe, korbe. A harmadik sorban mar csak felbe hajtogatott papirkakat ragasztunk a "testre". Mikor elerunk a nyakaig, negy egyforma csipessel osszeragasztjuk a nyak reszet. Itt egy kicsit varni kell, mig meg nem szarad a ragaszto. Mikor kesz, elkeszitjuk a hajat es rogzitjuk ragasztopisztollyal. A tovabbi lepeseket mar nagyon egyszeruek, ugy gondolom. 

Here is another idea for cupcake liners on a tree ... Es egy masik otlet a fara vagy partyra ... 

  

I am so proud of my angels :) I made one out of a kitchen towel roll for the top of the tree :)

Nagyon buszke vagyok az angyalkaimra! :)

Letter of the week A ...

LoLo are learning the alphabet! Well, sort of. They can recognize the L for "Lola" or "London" or "lobby", as well as a few others. Recently, they have been showing a lot of interest in drawing letters and asking me which letter was which. Seeing their enthusiasm, I thought of a game to make letters even more interesting. I asked friends on Facebook and "LoLovie likers" to take a photo of their own A. I know it's not an original concept, but finding letters in nature and/or building them can be a lot of fun for everyone.

LoLo tanulja az ABC-t. Na jo, ez igy nem igaz. Inkabb csak kezdenek felismerni par betut, mint peldaul az L-t mint "Lola" vagy "London" vagy mint "lobby".  Sokszor kerdezik, hogy milyen betu ez vagy az, es gyakran hozzak a girbe-gorbe szines irkafirkakat buszken mutatva milyen "betut" alkottak eppen. Latvan, hogy mennyire erdekli Oket a betuk vilaga, gondoltam kitalalok egy jatekot ami altal meg jobban megismerkednek az ABC-vel. Megkertem a Facebook-os ismeroseimet, barataimat hogy csinaljanak fotot az O sajat A-jukrol. Tudom, ez nem egy uj jatek, de megis nagyon szorakoztato mindenkinek felfedezni a betuket a termeszetben, vagy epiteni/kesziteni oket.  

Being tagged in a photo with a letter was like opening Christmas gifts one by one. I loved seeing the letters from different environments and different walks of life. Some A's were straight from the nature, others were self-expressions and yet others random finds.

Amikor valaki bejelolt egy-egy A's kepen a Facebookon olyan volt mindig mint karacsonyi ajandekokat bontagatni. Kivancsi voltam kinek, merre kalandozott a fantaziaja. Nehany A betu ugy volt felfedezve a termeszetben, mas A betuk fantazia szulemenyei voltak vagy egyszeruen veletlen lelemenyek.

At first I just wanted to make a collage of the photos and use it as a discussion topic with LoLo , but the more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea of a personalized alphabet book. There are many available in stores, but none that would be put together (unknowingly) by my friends :). (Yes, you have no rights to your photos I am afraid. They are now part of LoLo's library :)

Eloszor egy kep kolazst akartam kesziteni a sok fotobol felhasznalva LoLos tanacskozasaink kozben :), de kesobb arra gondoltam, milyen jo lenne egy ABC konyvet kesziteni a betukbol. Sok hasonlo konyvet lehet kapni a boltokban, de egyet sem olyat, amilyet (tudatlanul) a barataink keszitettek volna.  A kepek mostantol LoLo konyvtara egy resze :). 

Oh and how much can you really talk about a single letter?
A LOT! Because as you know, behind every photo, there is a camera and behind every camera, there is a person that made the photo happen, so THANK YOU! Please, keep the letters coming. The fun is just about to start and we have many more letters to work with :)

Valojaban mennyit lehet egyetlen egy beturol meselni?
SOKAT! Mert ahogy tudjatok, minden betu mogott ott van egy fenykepezogep, es minden fenykepezogep mogott ott van valaki, aki a kepet keszitette. KOSZI! Most kezdhetjuk a B betut gyujteni es kerek mindenkit, ne hagyja abba a betuk kereseset/kesziteset/fotozasat, mert az ABC-ben meg sok sok erdekes betu megtalalhato es a moka meg csak most kezdodik! :)  

I hope you like it! Remelen tetszik! 

Have a nice weekend everyone and the letter of the next week is B! L(ol)OB(i)E, LB (;) 

Kellemes hetveget mindenkinek, LB :)
