Make Yarn From Plastic Bags To Use For Holiday Crafting!
Imagine my delight when my local grocery store temporarily switched from yellow plastic grocery bags to purple plastic grocery bags…….pure heaven as it were for a dedicated recycling crafter like me, right? I was actually swooning I believe, or maybe that was on account of the mesh potato sacks that instead of their standard white became orange, right around the same time!

Hanukkah Menorah Craft Using Recycled Cereal Box Cardboard!
I have been busy making the cutest Hanukkah menorahs ever, using cereal box cardboard and a template that I'm planning to have in my shop any day now. The month before Hanukkah is always super crazy for me, and while the template isn't 100% ready, I did want to put the idea out there for those who are thinking about getting serious with the holiday preparations. These cardboard menorahs can be made in a few sizes and they are equally great as centerpieces or displayed around the house. I have a bunch on my piano right now and it looks fabulous! And if you'd like to make a cardboard menorah…

Moroccan Hanukkah Party Inspiration
With Hanukkah quickly approaching, now is a great time to think about how you'd like to make your week long celebration special this year! Regardless of your own Jewish heritage, how about a little bit of Moroccan Hanukkah influence this year? The Moroccan aesthetic is perfect for a Hanukkah celebration, I must say, with all he ornate patterns, jewel tones and lots of brass and gold, so why not infuse your Hannukah with a little something exotic from across the seas? At the very least, serve some delciious Moroccan mint tea (with fresh mint) on one of he nights of Chanukah, and maybe even try making some of my Moroccan…

Hanukkah Craft: Eight Nights Of Surprises Wall Hanging
Here is a nice Hanukkah craft idea that you can make according to my DIY Hanukkah post on Houzz.com, or use as inspiration to make your own version. Just about any combination of colors and materials could work, as the fun part of this wall hanging is of course opening one little gift each nigth of hanukkah. You may be thinking that this doesn't really look like most of the other projects you've seen me create, and yes, you are right! I went out on a limb with this one (ha ha) and created something nature inspired and neutral as opposed to the bright colors I generally favor. The wrapping…

Hanukkah Craft: Make Gorgeous Potato Print Wrapping Paper
I have a little secret for you, traditional potato print wrapping paper just moved up a notch with a new technique which I used to make this olive branch wrapping paper for Hanukkah! Check out my post right here on Houzz.com for complete instructions. I have to say, I just love it, and while I have already cut it to use for the next step in this project, I had thought of hanging it on the wall as is. Why olive branches for Hanukkah you may ask?, Why yes, of course, to remind us of the miracle of Hanukkah which is all about olive oil. And the holiday of Hanukkah…
