    Okay, you're right, it's only quick if you happen to have that bird cage on hand! So if you happen to see one it's a great purchase! Of course I'd just love to do this idea with real flowers but artificial ones are all that I happen to have at the moment. If you'd like…

  • Add Artificial Flowers To Sheer Curtains: Wow!

    Isn't this lovely? The only part I can take credit for is being wise enough to share this great idea with you! You may or may not remember my friend Roberta, whom I wrote about here. Well, it turns out that one of the major factors in her creative journey was direct inspiration from a…

  • Colorful Cupcake Liner Flowers: Festive and Fun!

    Cupcake liner flowers are one of those crafts that just make you smile! What's not to love? A few days ago I showed you some romantic carnation-like versions here.

      Gorgeous right? These carnation look-alikes made from cupcake liners are fantastic, even more so in person! And you can whip up a bunch of bouquets in very little time (and for very little cost!) once you get the hang of it. They're delicate and romantic with a tongue in cheek craftyness. And they would…

  • A Spring Bird-Themed Party: Quick & Cute Decorations For Each Place Setting!

    Two weeks before Pesach at one of the busiest times of the year, one of my sons has a birthday! Birthdays in my home are always about handmade decorations rather than presents, and some attempt at a homemade cake by Mom. This year I was particularly busy but fortunately found just the right supplies sitting…

    Hopefully at this point those of you who are celebrating Pesach have finished most of the rigorous cleaning and are now preparing for the festivities! I don't know about you, but I try to make my house look bare for Pesach, as it somehow looks cleaner and fresher that way! Nonetheless, a bit of color…

  • Folded Paper Flowers For A Simply Festive Centerpiece!

    You may have a hard time believing that I actually used these pink and gold flowers for Bar Mitzvah centerpieces last week, but I did! As I always say, who says pink is just for girls? And since the only other alternative to the pink paper was a tacky dark green, well, I think you'll…

  • Lemon Pomanders For Tu B’Shevat Or Anytime!

    Pomanders are the perfect decoration for Tu B'Shevat, (this Friday night) the holiday in which we celebrate trees and their delicious and amazing fruits! And though the holiday is almost here, you still have time to make a few of these to grace your table. And while you may not have the time, (I choose…

  • Make Etherial Cherry Blossom Garlands From Disposable Tablecloths!

    Isn't this just dreamy? I don't know why it never occurred to me that the chandelier in my stair well, as well as the banister are perfect places to hang seasonal decorations! In fact, other than painting this space peacock blue, (which I still love even three years later) I have yet to figure out…

  • Fragrant and Lovely Pomanders: The Perfect Winter Centerpiece (For Tu B’Shevat)

    These gorgeous pomanders are an amazing winter project! They'll fill your home with the most delicious aroma of orange-scented cloves and you can make them without a huge investment of time. Sit down with the kids, or a friend, and make some together, that's what I did! Even my 4.5 year old had great success…

  • Tissue Paper Blossoms On Real Branches: Stunning!

    Tissue paper blossoms glued to real branches look like the real thing, only you can enjoy them for years! I've had these for over a year and a half, and they've been transported several times to various functions and they're still looking fine. I found these branches on the side of the road, a by-product…

  • Make A Cute Button Topiary For Any Occasion!

    I don't know how you feel about topiaries, but I just love them. It's not something I can explain, just for some reason gazing upon a little ball of something floating above a pot makes me happy! Real live topiaries from rosemary or myrtle are absolutely gorgeous but difficult to maintain, even for a plant…
