Styrofoam Tray Recycling Craft: Embroidered String Stars
I have been saving these little square styrofoam trays as I had a feeling that would be great for a fun recycled craft project! And the a few days ago the idea came to me, embroider them! For starters I gave my geometric string stars a try, and I just love the results, don't you? You can use these little works of art as is hung on the wall (or in the succah!) or make some shapes to hang form the bottom of the piece, dream catcher style! So gather soem styrofoam trays, or even a piece or cardboard or foam core, and lets get started.

Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, a little international get together happening right here every week that is filled to the brim with amazing inspiration. Last week's party was full of amazing creativity, and something for everyone. How about making a fun textures weaving or a macrame plant hanger? Or maybe a DIY teepee or a fun flannel quilt? Some tiny knit creatures are cuter than ever as is a pizza necklace made from perler beads! So thanks to all those who contributed, and hope you are inspired too! Now for the features from last week's party: Sweet pastel candlesticks with cute sleeping faces from a pretty fix, and…

Fragrant Stephanoitis Vine in Bloom!
Are you aquainted with a lovely fragrant vine called Stephanoitis? Well let me tell you, vines are wonderful, and flowering vines are wonderful, and flowering fragrant vines are the very best of all. Stephanoitis is often used in wedding bouquets on account of its sturdy and fragrant clusters of little blooms, and it can also be grown as a house plant! It is true, I have killed two large Stephanoitis vines in my container garden, as it really doesn't do well in cold weather, and so now I have learned my lesson, and even this little vine will be coming indoors come winter!

Ceramic Fish Plates: A Perfect Sushi Set And Great For Rosh HaShana Too!
A ceramic fish plate and some little ceramic fish that could be used as chop stick rests are really truly adorable, and so festive, don't you think? My twelve year old son made this set, which was originally supposed to be a mobile of sorts, but I love them too much as if to think about stringing them together somehow! And with Rosh HaShana a little more than two months aways, thinking about crafts for the Jewish new year is a great thing to do right about now! And whether or not you have access to a ceramics studio and a kiln, you can still make something similar, so lets…

Ceramic Mid-Century Style Wall Clock Craft For Kids!
If you are following along on our creative adventures then you already know that my 12 year old son and I go to a ceramics studio once a week, together, for some quality mother and son time, and because of all the creative activities I could do with him, the one thing he really likes is something we can't really do at home: kiln baked ceramics! I'm not complaining though, and I am really treasuring this time that we have together, and I know we are building memories as well. You know, like really tangible ones that he'll even be able to hang on the wall in his own home…

Baby Food Jar Votive Craft For The Three Weeks
We love having guests with sweet babies, and are more than happy when there are baby food jars to craft with! Even before the guests left I found the small jars that I had put aside from their last visit, and together with some new tall ones, a craft idea was born: baby food jar votives with scenes of Jerusalem. This is our first craft this year with this topic, and the timing is perfect, as we can enjoy these jars for the next three weeks, and when the lights are turned down on the evening of T'Isha B'Av they will be lovely and a good reminder of what the…
