Paper, germinating flowers or seedlings in your mailbox


 

Бумага, прорастающая цветамиOver the past decade, paper letters have become rare, but the holiday cards do not hand over their positions. Multicolored cards with warm words accepted to give in an envelope, and if the cards themselves, as a rule, you want to save the fate of the envelope is not so obvious. Throw a pity to keep - no need to. However, for some envelopes (as, indeed, and greeting cards) is another unusual option - they can put ...!
Special "germination flowers" paper is a set of applications - but the envelope it may be, for example, business cards, invitations, bookmarks and even a wine label! And made ​​a miracle out of 100% recycled pulp. Thus, a product with the inclusion of the seeds makes it possible to reuse the paper and at the same time creating something new, in this case - greenery.
Fabrication process involves grinding of finished paper products with the addition of water to produce pulp, which domeshivayutsya and seeds of wild flowers . As a result, we get a very original hi-tech product, also made ​​by hand.

Classic Cherry Blossom Kid's Craft: Anticipating Spring!

Tu B'Shevat Kid's Crafts For Spring; cherry blossom
Here's a great Spring/Tu B'Shevat cherry blossom craft project, even for those of you who can't quite imagine that Spring awaits! There's nothing like some pink blossoms to cheer things up a bit! In Israel, we call these almond blossoms, as they are also pink and are the first to bloom, right around the time of Tu B'Shevat! Always very exciting!
I have fond memories of doing these blossom pictures in kindergarten. Okay, my pictures didn't exactly look like these, but the techniques were the same. And I still find it amazing that blowing ink through a straw can produce works of art that not only look like Japanese brush paintings but really mimic a tree with branches.  This is a great project for all ages, and a bunch of them hung together  would certainly look wonderful. And you can leave them in their pure form as I did on the left, or add some tissue paper details for the ground and sky. In any case, have fun!

A Family Friendly Hanukkah Craft: Decorating Styrofoam Shapes With Sequins



Hanukkah Sequined Shapes From Afar
Look what we found in the attic! Yes, truly, these decorations are at least 7 years old....I made them with my older boys way back when, and they're still looking good. I can't say that I'd make something that looks even remotely similar to this now, using store bought foam Hanukkah shapes, but they're sweet and festive and a nice reminder to the teenagers that yes, I did crafts with them too!
Most kids love applying sequins to foam shapes using plastic sequin pins, and it's actually a great craft for developing motor coordination. This craft is very popular here in Israel, but finding the supplies, even the plastic sequin pins might be a bit difficult for those of you in the United States and elsewhere.

Cornucopia of Doom



I loves me some Halloween. My inner goth loves to come out to play and she wants to make something disturbing, but decorative. I took inspiration from Don't Throw It Away! published in 1973. There are many, many wonderfully wacky projects in this book that I want to have a go at, (I can't wait to make the combat boot planter/lamp!) but once I saw the cornucopia with all of its god-awful plastic fruit a-spillin' out, I knew I'd stumbled on the germ of a good Halloween idea- the Cornucopia of Doom! (Great name for a goth band, yes?)

Pom pom maker


pompomtut1
This is a tutorial for making pom-poms using your
fingers. This one is a small, two-finger pom-pom
(about 1" in diameter) but you can make bigger ones
by using more fingers. As far as yarn choice, thinner
and softer yarn will make a more pleasing pom-pom.
