Slow birthday ideas: Do you probably already know the slowlife mouvement, and the lock down situation has helped at least to learn to stop and find joy in little things.

Slow life, slow waste, natural living, homemade items… And slow birthdays too. No rush, small and simple parties, baking the cake together, we have always loved that way but quarantine left us no choice this year anyway.

So here it goes some photos of our favorite “slow waste” diy that we enjoyed for our girl’s first birthday party.

No plastic for wrapping, just some fabric

And with fabric offcuts I could make the birthday crown, a birthday garland and a quiet book as a handmade gift for my daughter.

For us the little things make big moments. And the time spent together is the best gift we can have?

Hi! my name is Sara and I am a DIY lover!
This blog started as a journal where I wrote my favorite recipes, from cosmetics and food. Then I started to create and upcycle clothes and I finally needed crafts ideas and easy kids activities for our homeschool journey. We love handmade stuff and easy projects and I share them all here!
