Fun 3D Hanukkah Menorah Craft
With Hanukkah starting this coming Saturday night now is the time to set aside some time for some serious crafting! And to make the most of your time with the best results, 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, they certainly can be used for a few years!

DIY Wall Art From Painted Wrapping Paper
DIY wall art is all the rage, and now you can whip up some fun wrapping paper, and make something to grace your walls, all while honing your loose paining skills! There is something about fooling yourself into painting without the pressure that just plain works, so instead of setting out to paint wall art, just set out to paint some wrapping paper and very likely the results will be that much better! This week I’ve been having a go at painting some fun works of art that require really being as loose as possible with the painting strokes, and while I have yet to master the look on canvas…

Lovely DIY Wrapping Paper From A Painting Exercise!
With gift giving season approaching quickly, now is a great time to make some DIY wrapping paper, and even better, to practice your painting skills in the process! I have at long last set aside some time to follow my dreams of painting, and while the jury is still out regarding whether this is something that I’ll truly want to devote my time to, I now have some great looking wrapping paper that is so fun to look at!
