  • Moroccan Style Candle Vase Centerpiece

    I happen to think that Moroccan style looks great just about any time, so when I had to whip up some centerpieces for a neighbor's bar mitzvah I was very happy to have some golden coins trim on hand to dress up these glass vases!  And when we added candlelight by way of wicks floating…

  • Crepe Paper Flowers Centerpiece

    I recently found some heavy weight crepe paper at a local discount store and so I couldn't resist making some large crepe paper flowers for a community gathering. Grouped together in a simple metal pitcher, they looked great, and while not exactly quick to whip up, they are certainly festive and can be enjoyed for…

  • Origami Cranes…Perfect For Birthday Parties or Your Succah?

    I'm in love with origami cranes made from brightly colored origami paper. And I can still say that after having folded about forty of them for my daughter's birthday party last week! I used my origami cranes to create an origami crane mobile of sorts, which I hope to photograph soon,  and share with you.…

  • Decoupage With Fabric— Pots For Your Garden!

    We needed a quick teacher appreciation gift for my daughter's teacher last week, and I finally got around to trying out fabric decoupage on terra cotta pots! I'm totally in love with the results and can't believe it took me so long to give this one a try. Oh well, everything in it's time! And…

  • Chinese Jewelry Pouch Bunting Banner!

    A Chinese jewelry pouch bunting banner, for decoration or even as a fun way to keep your jewelry safe but at hand. I came across these little pouches that I'd collected as a girl in a bag of goodies from my mother, and they just shouted out to me bunting banner! And dear readers, you…

  • Trifle Bowl Candle Centerpiece

    If you happen to have a glass footed trifle bowl, you can make an elegant centerpiece with just a few simple supplies! I was recently in New York for my nephew's Bar Mitzvah, and while I had offered to bring a suitcase full of paper flowers all ready to go, my sister in law figured…

  • Orange Rind Candle Centerpiece For Tu B’Shevat

    Ever heard of candles made from orange rinds? Or candles made from clementine rinds? Great idea right, especially now that Tu B'Shevat (Feb. 8th) is right around the corner! Basically, according to the original source, one carefully removes the fruit, leaving the two halves intact, and when you are careful not to sever the stem…

  • Price Tag Sticker Candle Jars

    Aren't these neon price tag sticker candle jars fun? When I bought some rolls of these stickers I thought I was buying them for my kids. Of course my kids don't have any idea that neon is "back" or that their mom really bought the stickers to satisfy that personal desire of hers for just…

  • Rhinestone Yarn Bracelet Ornaments

    Rhinestone bracelets made by simply attaching some rhinestone chain to a metal bangle with yarn or embroidery thread are all the rage, so I thought I'd take the idea one step further and make some fun neon ornaments. I love their modern/crafty look and they're so easy to whip up. Best of all, I wasn't…

  • Pom Pom Yarn For Last Minute Decorating

    Pom pom yarn is fantastic for crafting just about any time! I can't say that I would have thought to buy some, but saw a skein for 1 Euro at a discount store in Amsterdam and so I snatched it up. Yup, the last skein waiting for me, which seems to have been a theme…
