Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, and thanks so much for joining me here! As you can see from the general look of my blog, Hanukkah, or Chanukah preferably, is coming! On Sunday night we are exiting the “dark” Jewish month of Cheshvan, and entering the very light filled month of Kislev.…..which means dear readers it is truly time to get the show on the road: Homemade gifts? Check. New Chanukah decorations? Check. Busy with some editorial work for chanukah? Check. And right about now all I really want to do is get crocheting for the holiday, but that is going to have to wait for another few…

DIY Hanukkah Tablecloth With Block Printed Dreidels
Lets face it, if you were thinking you’d like a tablecloth for Hanukkah or Chanukah, you will not find a whole lot out there, so you are just going to have to find a tiny window of time and make this simple DIY stamped dreidel tablecloth for Hanukkah. And the good news is, it isn’t actually stamped as it looks, and as I’ve named it, the technique is actually sooooooo much easier, and something every DIYer needs to have in theri repetoire. I chose to make my tablecloth really modern and somewhat Scandanavian looking, you can of course make yours in all the colors your little heart desires, and with…

DIY Hanukkah Mobile With Nesting Dreidels
If you start to see photos of my classic nesting dreidel mobile here on CJM that must mean that Hanukkah is coming! So yes indeed, with Hanukkah just a month away, I suggest planning ahead and getting a head start on decorating your home, your classroom or workplace with an extra dose of color. My nesting dreidel digital craft kit is the perfect place to start, and you can use the pages in so many fun ways beyond mobiles! Make garlands, place mats, gift wrap, gift tags, or even use the dreidels to decoupage on the bottom of some glass plates or trays! Yes, you are right, I need to…

DIY Hanukkah Tablecloth: Giant Blue And White Stenciled Snowflakes
Yes, indeed things are starting look quite festive around here, right? And at long last I can share with you this really great Hanukkah DIY tablecloth that is really so simple to make, and the results are truly fun and fabulous. In fact I’d recommend getting enough supplies so that you make quite a few of these, they would make perfect Hanukkah gifts! And if you are a sewer, you could use this idea to make fabric with which to sew up some fun gifts for Hanuukah like pouches, pillow covers, napkins, table runners, you name it! In true CJM style I actually raided my linen closet and used a…

Digital Hanukkah Craft Kits: Get That Extra Edge For A Tiny Investment
With Hanukkah starting on the night of December 12th, which is early on the gregorian calendar, now is the time to set aside some time for some serious crafting! To make the most of your time and get off to a roaring start, I’d recommend purchasing one or two of my Hanukkah digital craft kits to make your life just a bit easier! Plus the results are just too adorable, with so many options to make these digital kits kid friendly as well. I’ll admit, I still have bunch of these cardboard menorahs that I made last year as centerpieces for a large Hanukkah party, and if packed away nicely,…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday and thanks so much for joining me here! There is no time like the present to get crafting, whether it be for Fall celebrations, or in my case for Hanukkah, which is sneaking up on us, and happening a bit earlier this year. Yesterday I even had the somewhat novel idea of not actually taking out the Hanukkah boxes filled with decorations from past years, and just doing something totally new, hmmmmm. This year I feel like filling my home with more neutral colors and natural materials as opposed to the brights I generally love, so we’ll just have to see…
