Tegola

I would like to live in a house like this...


...or at least make it :)



Tegola is a kind of tile used mainly in Italy. 
With the help of various techniques (decuopage, painting, gluing etc.), 
everybody can make their own unique cottage.

Decorate with paper!


This extremely simple 'snowflake' is an excellent decoration at carnival and party time, too if you use colored papers! This is my winter version, and below is the one that we made for New Year's Eve. 


You can find how to make it here!
(Although it is in Hungarian, if you follow the pictures, you cannot get lost!)
