How To Fold Origami Clowns
Origami clowns in a variety of sizes are simple to make and make perfect decorations for birthdays, childrens rooms, circus themed parties and of course the Jewish holiday of Purim. Use them to make giant wall decorations or small cake or cupcake toppers that will make your party special! I made giant origami clowns as wall decorations for Purim, and they are so much fun! Speaking of Purim I am rushing to make DIY costumes for my kids, so I don't have time to write out the instructions for the diagram, but hopefully you'll be able to figure it out. If not, drop me a line and I will between…

Giant Origami Clowns
Giant origami clowns are really quite simple to make and make amazing party decorations, not to mention that they make perfect Purim decorations! I used squares of wrapping paper to make origami clowns that are about 70 cm tall, and just a few of these clowns are enough to add a fun touch to any wall. Add some packing peanuts as buttons and collar, and some patterned paper for shoes, a pom pom and hat trim, and the results are simple adorable! The origami clown is folded initially just like an origami crane (hmmm, I need to try making those from wrapping paper too!) so lets get started! (And in…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! Thanks so much for joining me here for this weekly linky party with inspiration from around the world! With the Jewish holiday of Purim coming on Wednesday night (Thursday night in Jerusalem) I am busier than busy, with still soooo much to do. This year's costumes require lots of assembly with cardboard, which is new to me, but we are tackling it anyway to please the little ones, who have gotten so big that soon costumes will be a thing of the past. Of course I'll share the results with you here, so stay tuned! In the mean time, lets get started with the features…

Getting Your Orchid To Rebloom, Up Close And In Person!
It is with great excitement that I share with you my white phaleanopsis orchid in full bloom, namely in full bloom as it has re-bloomed! And even more marvelous is that the plant now has four stalks of blooms as opposed to the two stalks of flowers that were existing when I received this beauty. Now, I am no expert when it comes to orchids, but since my orchid is obviously quite happy, I guess I did something right, so I thought I'd share that with you!

Packing Peanuts And Cardboard Stars Craft
When I received a box filled with packing peanuts I immediately started thinking about how I'd use them for a craft project, and the first thing that came to mind was packing peanut stars. Of course, I actually thought I'd make the entire star out of packing peanuts, but with no real plan in mind, these fun stars are what actually came to be! The stars are quite large (the cardboard circle in the middle is from a family sized frozen pizza package) and fortunately turned out to be pefect decorations for the stage of our community Purim party this week. My only regret is that I only had time…

Star Of David Mosaic Craft For Kids
I love making mosaics, so when judaica web store asked me to try out their star of David mosaic kit, from their Jewish gifts for kids collection, just couldn't resist. and of course I was secretly hoping that at least one of my kids would actually finish the whole project without my having to step in and finish it, and hurray, my ten year old stepped up to the plate and over the course of three evenings finished the mosaic with only a little help from mom.
