Christmas tree napkins



You may have seen a few videos and tutorials on the internet showing how to fold napkins like a Christmas Tree. However, if you are using printed paper napkins like these (from Tiger) you will need two of them to make each tree, due to their white back that would be shown when folding them. 

Ya habréis visto varios vídeos y tutoriales en internet sobre cómo doblar las servilletas en forma de árbol de navidad. Sin embargo, si utilizáis servilletas de papel estampadas como éstas (de Tiger) necesitaréis 2 servilletas para cada arbolito, ya que son blancas por detrás y se vería al doblarlas. 


First thing first, you will need to totally open up the napkins and place 2 of them wrong side to wrong side, so both right sides will be shown. Afterwards, fold them again as it was one ☟. 

En primer lugar, hay que abrir las servilletas por completo y colocar dos de ellas encarando los reveses, de tal manera que se vea el dibujo por los dos lados. Después, vuelve a doblarlas como estaba una . 




Fold up each single corner as shown on the picture ☝︎. 

Dobla todas las esquinas hacia arriba como se muestra en la imagen ☝︎. 


Turn it upside down, and fold back each side like a cone, as shown on the image ☟. 

Dale la vuelta, y dobla cada lado hacia atrás con forma de cono como se puede ver en la foto ☟. 


Turn it upside down again, and you will get something like this ☟ 
Dale la vuelta otra vez, y te habrá quedado algo como esto ☟


Fold up the corners and hide each one behind the following above. 

Dobla las esquinas hacia arriba y esconde cada punta debajo de la siguiente de arriba. 


Voilà!! You can place them standing up on the table! 

¡¡Tachaaaaán!! A diferencia de las de tela, las puedes colocar de pie!



This is how my table looked for a friend's Christmas lunch! What do you think? Do you like the result? Will you give it a try?  

¡Y así es como me quedó la mesa para una comida de navidad con amigos! ¿Qué te parece? ¿te ha gustado? ¿Lo vas a intentar esta Navidad?

★ BAUTIZO DE OLIVIA ★



Last weekend we celebrated our first daughter's christening. After an intimate ceremony, we had a little party with our closer family. Our idea was a small and rustic celebration, based on lots of little DIY details, that I basically did myself, after getting inspired on Pinterest

Este fin de semana hemos celebrado el bautizo de nuestra primera hija Olivia, con una ceremonia íntima y una pequeña celebración informal con los más allegados. Para esta ocasión, teníamos la idea de organizar una fiestecita de estilo rústico, lleno de pequeños detalles DIY, hechos por mí misma tras muchos ratitos inspiradores en Pinterest. Nada más ver la pequeña "cueva" reservada para eventos en el restaurante Lambuzo -cocina gaditana en Madrid- lo tuve claro: cuadraba perfectamente con nuestra idea.

Workspace Inspo

Hi All!
First of all, I would like to apologise for my lack of blogging, but a have a good -great- reason for it: We have had a beautiful baby girl and I'm on maternity leave. Also, we have moved out from London to Madrid (although we will continue working in between both cities) so as you can tell it has been mad! So I'm currently taking care of our little princess as well as getting our new fashion studio -and home- ready, plus managing the most important orders at Etrala. Yes, it sounds busy! 

For this reason, in my spare hours (minutes) I have been pinning a lot trying to find some decor inspiration for the new home and fashion studio and I'd love to share with you my favourite images to get inspired...

Olivia's Baby Shower

Thanks to my lovely London girl friends, yesterday we could enjoy an amazing baby shower in honour of the little girl we are expecting, Olivia, and it was a complete surprise for me! I didn't expect it at all! 

It was a pink-themed garden party with lots of beautiful details, including a custom-made flower arrangement in a wooden box with the baby name handprinted on it... My great friend Cristina from Muscari London was in charge of the flowers and decor of the party. 

Thank you so much girls! I loved the party and the baby gifts and had a great time with you all ! Thanks for coming!

DIY: Cushion with Baby Name


Once I had finished the Cloud & Star Baby Cushions I decided to make another cushion for the cot with our baby name using the pink and white felt I had left. 
Here you have the step by step tutorial so you can make your own with your baby name in your favourite colours! 

Después de hacer los Cojines con forma de Nubes y Estrellas decidí hacer este otro cojín para la cuna con el nombre de nuestra niña, aprovechando los restos de fieltro que me habían sobrado. 
Aquí os dejo el tutorial paso por paso para que podáis hacer el vuestro con el nombre de vuestro bebé en el color que más os guste.
