Make Gorgeous Fabric Flower Napkin Rings For Your Spring Table!
Fabric flowers are all the rage with the glue gun set, and understandably so! I’ve been wanting to make these quite simple layered organza roses for quite some time, and I have to be honest, I started this project for Chanukah! But since I’m feeling the pinch to come up with some Passover appropriate crafts,…

Make A Festive Spring Bouquet With Crepe Paper Flowers!
Mexican-style crepe paper flowers are simple to make, and look great as a festive spring bouquet. If you weren’t convinced by my previous post, maybe you will be now?

Mexican Style Crepe Paper Flowers….Gorgeous!
I can’t explain it, but Mexican style folded crepe paper flowers never looked so good, believe me they are gorgeous!

It was a dear sweet friend…

Mom to the rescue with this magnet idea, which I also used to decorate the bag. Her classmates were so excited about…

Zipper Flowers At Last!
I can now finally breathe a sigh of relief. Phew. My daughter is on her way to having a drawer full of fashionable hair accessories! What took me so long you ask?

Crocheting With Yarn And Jute: Make A Fun Portable Vase (Cover) Or A Water Bottle Holder
There is something about my latest little crochet project that just makes me so happy! You may or may not feel the same way, but let me tell you why I think it’s so wonderful. First of all, I actually set out to make a water bottle holder, not a vase cover, so this metamorphosis…

Chag Sameach! Have A Wonderful Shavuos!
Gorgeous Spring wildflowers and weeds from the Galil, an arrangement for our Shavuos table last year! I generally send the kids out to cut some flowers (non-endangered ones, that is) in the afternoon prior to Shavuos, so you’ll jsut have to wait until next year to see this year’s arrangement! Starting on Tuesday night at…

Sculpting With Pipe Cleaners: Fun and Practically Mess Free!
I’m sure you realize that I don’t generally worry about mess when crafting with the kids, as that would be very limiting! I try to protect work surfaces and the kids as best as I can, and the rest is part of the deal! That being said, this is the perfect project to keep little…
