  • Pom Pom Holiday Decor Kids Love To Make

    My kids love to make pom poms. Infact they were fighting over the Clover pom pom maker last night as I was making dinner. And I fully expect the pom pom making to continue this evening, which is of course just fine with me. Not a terribly creative activity, but the act of making something,…

  • Chanukah Craft: Tissue Paper Cut Outs

    I love tissue paper, and the brilliant colors are perfect for Chanukah decorations.

    First of all, in case any of you are wondering “where does one hang Chanukah ornaments?” I will be hanging four of these cute stuffed dreidels from the arms of the wrought iron chandelier over my dining room table.

  • Make Festive Felt Bunting For Chanukah!

    Of all the Chanukah items I’ve made from felt, I have to say, this bunting is one of my favorites. I just love bunting anytime, and I’m not alone as they have caught on like wild fire amongst the crafters of the world. Many of the cutest bunting banners are sewn on a sewing machine,…
